Always make time for the two of you.
Marry someone that you enjoy listening and talking to.
Remember that the best gift that you can give your children is to love their spouse.

Remember that people do fight. It's how you do it that matters.
Before starting an argument, consider if it's really worth it.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?
