Marriage advice needed

[gilby]

My duaghter has a bridal shower to go to and she needs a gift to go with some marriage advice, she wants to make a wine basket, but we are struggling with the advice ot attach to the basket.
any suggestions?

How about something like "Be sure to take time for each other" or "set up a special date night once a week"?

(Sometimes not as obvious once the honeymoon is over and "real life" starts again!)

Here is what google brought up:


Marriage is like fine wine, as it ages it just gets better. Look at the good times and leave behind the bad, for there are more wonders you will find in each, as time passes by...

I like that one!

I have a friend who always writes, "argue naked" for this shower request.

Not sure if this is "marriage" advice per se, but I was formerly married to a builder, and whenever he finished a house we would give the clients a basket with bread, salt, and wine, and I would make a card with a note of congratulations as well as thank you, and the lines from "It's a Wonderful Life":

Bread - that this house may never know hunger.
Salt - that life may always have flavor.
Wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever.

Although I have to say, "argue naked" is much more practical advice.

Nobody said marriage would be easy, they said it would be worth it.

I like to use the verse from 1 Peter 4:8 "Love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins."

"Don't go to bed Angry" -Ephesians 4:26

 

[Gorechick]

"Happy wife, happy life!"

She could do a pun like: "Never "wine" about your spouse to others!"

 

[Handbag Lady]

WINE!!!!! Don't whine.

I always love this. 1. It's just so sweet. 2. Anyone remember the episode of Friends where Phoebe gives Ross this, plus a bathroom candle, for "you know".

I like the better with age and don't wine ideas (or don't grape if you want to be cutsie), but the one thing I always suggest is let your partner be their own person. You do not need to be together 24/7 (except for the honeymoon).

My gma always told me "Don't let the sun go down on your anger, Always kiss and make up before you go to sleep" My friend who's hubby is a cop told me "Always say I Love You each time you speak or see each other.. you never know if it will be the last time you get to say it. My husband and I have lived by both things been together 11 years and just Celebrated 6 years on July 4th

Whenever your husband starts to "whine," just ask him if he would like a little cheese to go along with that "whine?"

"Happy wife, happy life!"

Yep.
