I got a rather hysterical Wedding RSVP card that is essentially a little mad-libs deal. One of the blanks is basically ... what is your best marital advice? what should you do every day to make your marriage work?

I'm divorced, so my RSVP is complete in perfect divorcee style already... but what would your advice be?

    Decide if you would rather be happy or you'd rather be right. Sometimes you can have both, but usually being happy trumps being right for me.

    Treat your spouse like you don't deserve them so you're doing everything you can to keep them.

    *HI FIVE* Personally, I think getting a maid solves a lot of marital stress ;)

    Always, always make sure your boyfriend does NOT attend the wedding or follow you on your honeymoon. Ruins the moment.

    Learn two phrases:

    Yes Dear

    You're Right

    And don't sound even the slightest bit sarcastic when you say them.

    "Never let your husband leave the house with an empty stomach and full balls".

    Terribly sexist. But the person who said it has been happily married for 35 years...

    This goes for all of the boyfriends. Not only does it ruin the wedding, but then they all know about each other. It's a mess.

    Don't let the sun go down on your anger: Settle any real fight before you go to sleep.

    Also, make date-nights a regular occurance. Otherwise, once life gets in the way, the romance is lost.

    As a male I'll say- CONFORM 90% of the time. The other 10% stand your ground. I've been happily married 15 years doing it this way.
