In high school I took a Family Living class and one day two kids quit playing footise long enough to listen to the Rules of Marriage be explained.

1. aways tell each other I love you at least 3 times a day (when you forget to do this over a period of time love may fade away)
2. Never leave the house during an argument (what if something happened to one of you the other one would never forgive themselves)
3 never go to bed mad at each other, talk it out key word TALK not yell (besides making up is fun)
4. the silent treatment never solved a problem, only talking can do that.
5 It takes a 110% from both of you to make it work.
6. when you realise you mate is your best friend then you have a successfull marriage.

We have had our ups and downs over the years these rules won"t solve every thing but they sure do help keep small problems from getting bigger! Its worked for us for 31 yrs. On our 25th wedding aniv. we sent that teacher a Thank You card.

Good Luck and the best of wishes
