At our wedding, my husband and I left little note cards and envelops next to our guestbook. We asked our guests to write on them their best marriage advice for us. They were to then place their note in the envelope, and we took them with us to read during the long flight on our honeymoon. We got many excellent pieces of advice, but I would like to share with you one of our very favorites. It is so simple, yet of the utmost importance:
"Speak kindly to and about each other."
We try to always keep this in mind. This advice does not only apply to marriage, but to all our relationships - with family, friends, children, co-workers, neighbors. If we can all stop complaining to and about each other, we can spend more time focusing on the things we love most about one another.
