THE ART OF MARRIAGE

The following may not say it all, but what it does say is worth listening to.
...T.W.P.

A good marriage must be created.
In the marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say 'I love you' at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is having a common sense of values and objectives.
It is standing together and facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which both can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person,
It is being the right partner.

MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTEST
TO SEE WHO IS
RIGHT MOST OF THE TIME!

(is an excerpt from "Mothers and Daughters" by Joan Rivers )

Marriage requires being what the Japenese call "the wise bamboo".
Meaning . . . you bend so you don't break.
Treat your spouse with the flexibility and respect you would give
to a client. We smile, we are polite, we listen to
their ideas.
Never forget that your spouse is your most important client.
