At our wedding, we were given five phrases that we both remember to this day; 1. You were right. 2. I was wrong. 3. I'm sorry. 4. Please forgive me. 5. I love you.
Another great piece of advice was - never fight at night. You're both to tired to evaluate if what you're fighting over is really that important.
When you both learn to love each other more than you love yourselves, you marriage will not only be happy, it will last!
And finally....Love is a choice, not a feeling. You won't always ';feel'; in love, but when you commit to choose to love someone for life, you have the opportunity to experience a deeper love than you can ever imagine.
Whats the best piece of relationship advice you have ever gotten?
It would either be, ';Choose your battles wisely,'; or ';Don't sweat the small stuff,'; but both boil down to the same principle: perspective. Maintain perspective. Ask yourself if something your spouse does is really important enough to start a battle over - most of the time, given reasonably responsible people, it will not be. My wife and I don't argue very often, and I think this is a big reason why.Whats the best piece of relationship advice you have ever gotten?
My own thoughts...wouldn't have a fabulous marriage if I had listened to everyone else.
What works for us, may not work for the next person. We do what is good for us, not what other people are doing in their marriages.
What we are doing works tremendously well for us.
Don't listen to what everyone and their dog will tell you...do what your heart and mind tell you to do.
Communication is they key to a successful relationship. Without it, you have nothing. With it, you can fix almost everything.
You have to accept that there are things that your partner will and won't do, can and can't do, and its up to you to decide whether or not you can live with it, not for them to change.
Remember the love that brought you to the alter. Things will change and times will be hard but remember that something brought you together and you can work through anything. Good luck.
Skip all the heartache of courtship, going steady, engagement, marriage and divorce. Find a woman who hates you and buy her a house.
not to keep trying so hard with someone, or all you will get is a sympathy ';well don't want to use the word'; but I will use ';sex';! It made me think so i could move on! and I'm glad I did! Thanks....
Words cannot be taken back!
Be patient, kind and respectful and NEVER go to bed angry!
Be able to laugh at and with each other, both are equally important!
Respect yourself first, others will follow!
That relationships are like yard sales: they look really cool from far away, but when you get up close, you realize it's a lot of crap you don't need.
Never let yourself become overly dependent on another human being, for they may not be there tomorrow.
';If you have any doubts at all, don't do it. Whether it is Kiss, Kill, or marry.';
You can not love someone that does not love you back.
Never make someone your everything, because when they leave you are left with nothing.
You have to make the decision to love the other person everyday.
You can't make a person love you or make them want to be w/ you.
Love the One who loves you
If he doesn't call - he doesn't want to see you, let it go.
P.S. The rest of it I figured it out myself.
Pineapple juice makes your junk taste better.
Communicate.
You have your own emotions. Just because she's upset doesn't mean you have to be.
Always treat your partner the way you want them to treat you.
Read:
three short books:
He
She
and
We
none others ever needed.
Sometimes its better to be happy, then ';right';.....
Saying ';I'm sorry'; is sometimes more important than being right.
';He's not worth crying over unless he stole your truck.'; - my grandma.
She was a wise woman.
everything happens for a reason my dear.
Choose your battles wisely.
keep one eye open and one eye closed
Don't sweat the small stuff:)
don't judge the book by the cover.
Judge a man by the purity in his heart and nothing else.
