The easiest thing to do is quit. I've been married more than 50 years. I love her more than ever. But, it is not always easy, especially as we get older, with illnesses and injuries and surgeries getting in the way. We rely on each others help. But along with this comes irritations, fights, disagreements, anger, frustration . . . oh yeah, that's part of being married to. Soooo, Here are the four rules for a successful marriage:
1-A Never Fight over MONEY, MONEY IS A TOOL, BE RESPONSIBLE WITH IT. Pay the bills, Nobody cares what you want, what are you responsible for? Take care of your responsibilities.
1-B If you have Children, they are next. You take care of your kids, Parenting, Social Skills, Food and Clothing, and love them ev very day, even when they deserve a kick in the butt.
1-C after taking care of !A & 1B, You then save Money so that you both can play (Together)
2. Never fight over who you fell in love with, Fight over the stupid. Ex: Wife- I sent you to the store to get coffee idiot, you came home without coffee dipstick, go back and get the coffee Moron. Know that you are going to fight, Make a commitment to REMOVE ALL HATE from any fight, Know that you are going to fight, it can be intense, loud, angry, BUT NO HATE. Learn to Let it go. (My wife cheats on this part because when we had a fight, the next day she walks by me singing the "Let it go" . . . and i'bve lost again!!! Learn to forgive
3. Never "STOP" the Chase. Keep chasing each other. A few months ago, my wife was walking down the hallway with those tight fitting leotards" I leaned as saying uhh huh, that ahhh is still looking good. She stop, looked at me, then said, You are so Blind, to which I replied "aren't ya Glad" Make each other important.
4. Accept your differences, these are what makes each of you Unique!
These rules really do work
Please Note: Betrayal can be forgiven once, but a continued effort to do so is time to say:
"Hit the road Jack"
