Twelve Rules for a Happy Marriage

Author unknown

1.  Don't both be angry at once.

2.  Don't yell at each other unless the house is on fire.

3.  Yield to the wishes of the other as an exercise in self-discipline, if you can't think of a better reason.

4.  If you have a choice between making yourself or your mate look good, choose to make your mate look good.

5.  If you must criticize, do it lovingly.

6.  Don't bring up a mistake of the past.

7.  Neglect the whole world rather than each other.

8.  Don't let the day end without saying at least one complimentary thing to your life's partner.

9.  Don't allow your life's partner to come home without an affectionate greeting.

10. Don't go to bed mad.

11. As soon as you realize you've made a mistake, talk it out and ask sincerely for forgiveness.

12. Remember, it takes two to make an argument.  In most cases, the one who is wrong is the one who will be doing most of the talking.
