The Guidelines for a Happy Marriage
- Never be angry at the same time - take it in turns.
- Never yell at each other - unless the house is on fire.
- If one of you has to win an argument - let it be the other.
- If you have to criticise - do it lovingly - and with tact
- Never bring up mistakes from the past - otherwise you’ll be there all night.
- Neglect the whole world - rather than one another.
- Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled - unless (Groom) has been on the grog.
- At least once every day - try to say one kind word to each other.
- When you have done something wrong - be ready to admit it and when you are right - just shut up.
- If you wish happiness and harmony to reign in your household, remember the date of your wedding anniversary.
