36 years ago today........

Pace yourself, Kiddo!

Remember that you are in a partnership, so democracy, equity, loyalty, trust and devotion are vital constituents to its survival.

Never lie about anything important, never cheat and always put in the hard work necessary to make any union endure!

Verbally reaffirm your love often and do your best to never go to bed mad with one another. Work things out when you disagree - resolve your differences promptly and little problems will not fester into big ones. It only takes one cancer cell to ultimately kill the entire being.

we coming up to 28 years...........and I have had the same thoughts... I know my life would have taken a different path for sure

Also congratulations @1BigDog

What Phil said........ The first three years tend to be the hardest. Making adjustments in your lifestyle, friends, or ex friends, living together all calls for compromise. Its just life stuff that takes getting used to. Its like starting a new job but with better benefits. But at some point the dues is due..........

1. Don't sweat the small stuff; it's all small stuff.

2. Get over thinking that you always need to be "right."

3. Ask yourself if what you're upset about now will matter next week or next year (see #1. Above).

You is a smart man
