Not only do you provide outstanding, interesting, and entertaining books for us but you've now shared some excellent marital advice.
My wife and I will be celebrating 60 years of marriage next June and there are a couple of additional items that have worked for us. I've tried to share these with my three Sons-in-Law. The two most important words every husband should learn are YES DEAR. They are effective in so many circumstances. The other thing is, whenever ther is a diffent opinion of Who said What, it has worked best for us when, instead of saying, "You Said!", we've found it's much less confrontational to say, "What I heard is..." There are Speed Bumps and Rough Roads in every long Term relationship. Instead of foolishly trying to avoid all of them, it's best to learn how to deal with them.
I love following along with your and Mike's adventures almost as much as I enjoy your stories.
Itʻs funny, I always looked at those five things and thought "huh? donʻt you want to do all of those for the people you love?" - then in a recent dating situation I realized for the first time how important touch is for me. Not sex (also important!), but expressing affection through touch in everyday situations. I will for sure be having this conversation about love language in the future!
Thank you for all this, good points to practice all the time. We’ve only got 22 yrs under our belts , but we’d both been married before for even longer. So sometimes I think we get the feelings that it’s been longer and we fall into the old married couple life and forget to keep up with the important parts. So thanks for this Toby❣️
Going to get a copy of the love language. My husband and I are married 53 years and I think we need that new connection. Thanks for sharing yours
