I like the classic marriage advice:

If you get in an argument, you can be right or you can be happy. Not both.

Sage advice, that.

8) DON'T WORRY ABOUT MONEY.
Money is a game, find ways to work together as a team to win it. It never helps when teammates fight. Figure out ways to leverage both persons strength to win.


Worst advice ever. Know where your fething money is going. Some people, men or women, simply can't be trusted with money, credit cards, etc. Stay on top of gak.

Indeed. You don't fight about money, but you resolve issues, and some people suck about handling money.

Only if you include your nudes, so they get the message and that you mean business.

Need a camera.

Exactly... it was one of the stress points in my first marriage.

I'll repeat kronk in verbatim: STAY ON TOP OF gak!

There is only one thing you need to remember.

A marrirage will only last as long as both people want it to.

Yes, but #7 is not. This is true for all relationships in life, not just with a spouse

Frankly I think #12 is the most applicable to everyday situations and all relationships...

That is what I keep trying to tell the postal employee that delivers my mail.

You feth your postal worker? I must try this, maybe then it won't take 7 days to deliver something that should take 2 Really gives the phrase "going postal" a different bent.

I think we should all try this, married or not.
Post results.

I don't think we can all be married, polygamy and for most of us gay marriage is still mostly illegal.

[size=9]Automatically Appended Next Post this is superb advice.

Some are just common sense, a fair few are co-dependency 101, and others are the shortest route to a stranging order after the inevitable breakup.
