The Beauty of Marriage - A Happy Tale

Marilyn and I have been happily married for almost 15 years now and we wanted to share a few things we have learned along the journey (marriage and life is a journey).
First, why we wear our wedding rings and what the heck is that all about:



Mar & I have been asked many times "How do you two (yep some times people who don't remember our names call us "You Two") do it, you seem so happy together (and we are!)

 

1. Work on Your Marriage. Make it the number one focus of your life. 
2. Don’t Leave Things Unsaid. Say it but make sure your partner is free to do the same. 
3. Speak Plainly. When you say it, say it plainly and honestly. 
4. Be Vulnerable. Your partner can and will hurt you from time to time, they do not mean it! 
5. Accept your Partner. This is one of the biggest ones of all time!
6. Spend Time Together. Everyday if possible - this is one of the next biggest ones (and fun too!)
7. Make Time for Both Your Ambitions and Goals.You dreamed of meeting him or her now dream big!
8. Make Sure There Are No Other Options: Your marriage will work if you work on your marriage!

Bonus points if you start and live your life together with a sense of humor:
