Or… think, but don’t speak. on the other hand, there’s Clint Eastwood’s perspective: There’s only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I’ll get married again.
I’ve always maintained that children, like fine wines, should be kept in a cool, dark place until sufficiently mature. However, if my parents had practiced that I, at age 77, would still be in that place….
Husband and I are married 41 years – went together/engaged 6 years before and knew each other a year before that. It seems like we got married yesterday.
On paper we don’t go together. Different ethnic and religious backgrounds. His family believed in traditional family – mom home, dad working – my family was girls can do anything (3 girls, who else would have helped shovel snow) – biggest problem was whether or not have hand soap at kitchen sink or just use dish soap.
We both do crafts (currently professionally), love history (me 16th English, him 18th century English colonies), think reading is important. Love movies – especially old ones and both think movie in theater is NOT the same as on TV.
We each support the other in what they like to do. I know more about James Bond and Ian Fleming as it is his interest and I have said of our trips to Louisa May Alcott’s house in Concord on our trips to Boston that he takes me to “see her” whether I want to go or not. Of course we are generally in Concord when up there to go to the “rude bridge” anyway.
We are together more than most couples – these years almost 24/7. We RESPECT each other and give the other one credit for who they are. It was said by Laura Ingalls Wilder that “Ma would go anywhere that Pa wanted but Pa would not go anywhere that Ma would not follow” That is a good couple who will stay together – each respects and supports the other.

Check that the kids are sleeping before getting “frisky”!

Children are the perfect birth control. Once you have them, wifey loses interest.

You never have to apologize for what you didn’t say.
