So this one seems permanent/very different. Today’s observation: If you need/want to do something, do it alone. “Doing things” with the SO is about being together. Trying to achieve tasks while together will just get everyone upset. | ||

Yes. However, there are some life decisions that need to be figured out together. This can be an interesting exercise and patience can be very important (though rarely easy). | |||

It varies by relationship. I won't say that doing projects always is smooth sailing. But my wife and I have accomplished a lot of things over the years. She is an immense asset in accomplishing task and projects. Many I could not of done by myself. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Do not question why there is “body butter,” “body oil,” “body wash”, or “body lather” while she is trying to buy “something I didn’t catch” for “reason I didn’t catch.” She’s beautiful, doesn’t wear makeup and I am getting smart enough these days not to ask/make smart Alec comments… | |||

Women and men think differently. Do not try to "figure them out." Just appreciate the wonder and mystery. What would life be without a few surprises? Progressing through life as a couple is a precious treasure. If you can't do it with your current partnet, don't blame yourself (or her), but look at it as an opportunity to discover the right partner. | |||

A few years ago we were looking at houses on Zillow. In one bedroom picture there was a decal sign that said "Always Kiss Me Goodnight". We thought that was a good idea even though we'd been married almost 50 years by then. We were right, it's a great idea. At 54 years, we joke about a fairy pouring love potion in our ear at night, a la A Midsummer Night's Dream. We've had huge problems with our kids' health and some other things, but got through it and are still nuts about each other. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

The 2 Rules of Marriage: Rule #1: the Wife is Always Right. Rule #2: when the Wife is wrong, refer to Rule #1. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Always have the last word in an argument. BUT, those last words are always 'yes dear'. Don't think you can change a person cause you can't. Hope your future bride understands that was well We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye Liberals are like pussycats and Twitter is Trump's laser pointer to keep them busy while he takes care of business - Rey HRH. | |||

My wife: "I don't want advice, I just want you to listen". Something to think about. | |||

The gentleman is responsible for the quality of the marriage. After 32 years, almost, I find myself pondering what would I do if I were alone again. My wife is 65 this July, and one of us will go first. My current assessment is that I will live alone, that I will treasure a valiant and vibrant dog, and that I will seek occasional interaction with a companion who has in her very being a joy beyond explanation. I want to watch someone thrilled to make it to the top of a mountain, or to see an eclipse, or to drive the parkway in a red Mustang convertible with a loud exhaust. ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||

For that matter, don't try to teach her much of anything. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

I've always told younger guys that all you need to know for a happy marriage is two words.
