FOR MARRIED PEOPLE, READ THIS!

1. Never assume.
2. Compliment more than you criticize.
3. For each time you vent about your
husband/wife to your friends, tell
three positive stories.
4. Remember that it is ok to do things
differently (e.g. there is more than
one way to peel a potato or fold the
laundry).
5. Always make time for the two of you.
6. Marry someone that you enjoy
listening and talking to.
7. Remember that marriage is sometimes
a bed of roses and sometimes there are
thorns.
8. Remember that the best gift that you
can give your children is to love their
mother/father.
9. Be fair! Split the housework,
spending money, etc evenly. This way
you are never resentful of your
partners contributions (or lack of) or
expenditures.
10. Never go to bed angry. (Unless it's
3a.m. and you're exhausted, angry, and
not thinking straight.)
11. Remember that people do fight. It's
how you do it that matters.
12. Before starting an argument,
consider if it's really worth it.
13. Fight naked.
14. Agree to disagree.
15. Never, ever mention the "D" word
(divorce).
16. Do you want to be right or do you
want to be married?
17. Respect each other's privacy.
18. Remember that "love is like
childhood. You need to learn to share."
19. Marriage is not 50/50, it's two
people giving 100/100 all of the time.
20. Surprise each other now and then.
21. The secret to a happy marriage is
two TV's!
22. Have date night!
23. Never pass up an opportunity to
say "I love you".
24. Hold hands.
25. Hug & kiss every day (several times
a day actually!).
26. Always believe that you got better
than you deserved.
27. Be quick to say "I'm sorry".
28. Choose the one you love, then love
the one you choose.
29. Keep the in-laws out of your
marriage!
30. Love isn't always a feeling, it's a
decision.
31. Hang in there. It's worth it.
32. Play nice, play often, love much.
33. Never air your dirty laundry as a
couple in public.
34. Never keep secrets from each other.
35. Be each other's champion. No matter
what, take your husband or wife's side
first!
36. Communication is the key!
37. Always respect each other.
38. Never underestimate the power of a
good belly-laugh and don't be afraid to
laugh at yourself.
39. It's the little things that matter
most.
40. Never use the words 'Always'
and 'Never' in a fight.
41. It's ok to argue, but never use
curse words to express your anger.
42. Never compare your marriage to
others. What you see on the outside is
not always what it is on the inside.
43. Don't make love in the same
place/position everytime. Variety is
the spice of life!

HOPE U LEARN SOMETHING!^_^
