    My grandma used to say

    'What's right is more important than who's right'

    That being said she, she slept around a lot.

    OMGosh. That's funny in a sick sordid kind of way. She certainly lived up to her mantra didn't she? LOL.

    Learn two phrases:

    Yes Dear

    You're Right

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

    You missed the third one:

    What was I thinking, Dear.

    "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...

    ^ yup

    Don't stop dating, just because you're married. My husband tell me "you're my wife, but you will never stop being my girlfriend."

    Marry your best friend.

    My best friend is already married. Do I make a new best friend?

    I'm not reading this whole thread to see if it's been said but here's mine: Don't marry someone you can live with. Marry someone you can't live without.

    Don't settle for good enough. Make sure you respect the other person, otherwise no amount of love or attraction will make you happy.

    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.

    This chick knows what's up.
    Plus she's hot.

    Never EVER complain to your spouse about your parents and vice versa. Otherwise **** gets thrown in your face by both parties.

    ^^^^^^^^^Very important. ^^^^^^^^^^

    I always stop and think "Is this one little thing more important than my marriage?" Nope.
