Good Advice
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
FIVE. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the e only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
TWE LVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

This is probably one of the most beautiful, inspirational, educational, and truest words I have read and heard in a very long time. Absolutely true, and I’ll be certain to forward this to people I know need it.

Great advice. It is always hard to admit when you are wrong. But if you learn from it then
It is ok. I would add
One more thing to the above recipe. And that is to respect people’s privacy.

This is very good advice. I add another, always reach out to GOD to help you do the right thing, if you do make a mistake, attempt to make it right. Thanks for all of the great comments, as we all have different opinions, which I feel should be respected. Live and let live is a good motto. We can’t seem to always make things right, so let go and let GOD take care of it.

always treat everyone as you would want to be treated.
when you feel blue-go outside and look at Gods plants —————– pushing up through the hard dark ground towards the warmth of the sun-and watch the tiniest bird eating one tiny bite at a time-such perseverance.

My Bill and I have been married for 59 years (come this Tuesday). During that time,
we of course have been mad at each other, but never to the point of leaving each other. FORGIVENESS IS BEAUTIFUL! Life has its ups and downs, and that is fact.
We also have been faithful to each other. In our “twilight years” we are glad that we
stayed together… One day at a time… Wishing all of you patience, healing, and most
of all LOVE… Have FAITH !!!
Blessings… Elizabeth W.

If you are young and married and having trouble in your marriage seek the advice of older married couples.They must know something to stay married for so long. Do not overlook their experience. God grants wisdom to the old.

Follow the GOLDEN RULE:: treat others like you would like to be treated. also When some one asks how you are, I always tell them wonderful, (with a smile of course), and just doing that can make my days better, even if I dont quite feel so great, but everyone else has a cross to carry as well. Its all about the attitude.. lots of great advice for all of us.. thanks.

Love: I did indeed slip down my grassy hill in our back yard… I was so embarrassed and hoped that no one saw me… Then sitting there I laughed out loud, and saying to myself, where is everybody to give me sympathy… Life is sometimes really comical.
Have a great day…

They are indeed good advice. Mary someone who loves you, He/ she will always be at your side no matter how enemies wage wars against your marriage, it will stand strong.

Make a promise to your friends, family, loved ones and Significant Other that you will never purposely harm them or hurt their feelings without extreme provocation. Then do your very best to keep that promise. If by accident or happenings beyond your control, your promise cannot be kept, make every effort to correct the reason for the breach and make amends as soon as possible.
Do these things and you will live an honorable and respected life.

Better to marry some you deeply love, who also deeply loves you and you can see it by the way they love others.
Great love and great achievements also involve great risk…( I like to add:) “just look at the first Christmas!”

either pray “every” night on your knees or “every” morning on your knees, doesn’t even compare to nails driven in your hands or whipped to pouring blood,or thorns in your head; what’s that saying? do to others as you would want done to you.JESUS sacrificed for us,what is praying in return going to hurt you. you will learn it is the best thing you’ve ever did for yourself and your life…
