Because June is the most
popular month for weddings, many of you will be celebrating anniversaries this
month. If you were a June bride (or groom), Happy Anniversary to you! As I was
researching for this post, I found some great marriage advice offered by the
Farmer’s Almanac. (Yes! The Farmer’s Almanac is still in publication.) Here’s
what they say are the keys to a happy marriage:
“Be prepared to give more
than you are receiving and you will receive more than you know.”
“The secret is Communication,
Compromise, Cooperation, and Compassion.”
“Listen, listen, listen.”
Those pieces of advice are
great, but I also found these delightful tidbits that feel a little more down
to earth and they made me chuckle:
“Never hate each other’s guts
at the same time.”
“The four most important
words in any marriage—I’ll do the dishes.”
“Never laugh at your spouse’s
choices. You are one of them.”
And my favorite piece of
marriage advice:
What’s your best piece of
marital advice?
I have some books that
feature weddings and marriage. Whether inspired by a love match, a second-chance,
or a marriage-of-convenience, each one of these beach-reads offers a heartwarming
happily-ever-after at the end.
