Rules for a Happy Marriage

Never both be angry at the same time.
Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.
If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.
Never bring up mistakes in the past.
Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
At least once every day, try to say one kind compliment or word.
When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it.
It takes two to make a quarrel and the one in the wrong is the one who does the most talking.

I came across this when I went to my sister's house over the weekend. It was just a small poster but I thought it gave big lessons. I find it applicable not only for married people, but for everyone who is in committed relationships (not necessarily of the romantic kind. Hehe. )

Oh, don't you worry. I definitely won't!!!

Today's teaching

TRAVEL LIGHT as you go through life and love.

Excess baggage only makes the trip heavier on the soul and on the heart, and wears you down 'til you're ready to give up.

Bring with you only the bare essentials. Live life simply. Have few but quality friends. Live life in the present and don't dwell on the past. Love someone for who he/she is right now and not for what he/she has done previously. Forgive and (though very hard) forget. Enjoy simple and mundane moments. Just laugh it off. Indeed, the best things in life are free.
