Over the last few weeks I’ve heard more and more advice for marriage, especially leading up to the engagment Saturday and now even more so now.
I think the best advice so far is, “Always remember, ‘Yes dear.'”
But this just came from Mike and I think it’s worth sharing as well:
Dating process:
6 weeks : I love U, I love U, I love U.
6 months : Of course I love U.
6 years : GOD, if I didn’t love U, then why the hell did I propose?Back from Work:
6 weeks : Honey, I’m home.
6 months : BACK!!
6 years : What did your mom cook for us today??Gifts:
6 weeks : Honey, I really hope you liked the ring.
6 months : I bought you a painting; it would fit the motif in the living room.
6 years : Here’s the money. Buy yourself something.Phone Ringing:
6 weeks : Baby, somebody wants you on the phone.
6 months : Here, for you.
6 years : PHONE RINGING.Cooking:
6 weeks : I never knew food could taste so good!
6 months : What are we having for dinner tonight?
6 years : AGAIN!!!!Apology:
6 weeks : Honey muffin, don’t you worry, I’ll never hold this against you.
6 months : Watch out! Don’t do it again.
6 years : What’s not to understand about what I just said??New Dress:
6 weeks : Oh my God, you look like an angel in that dress.
6 months : You bought a new dress again???
6 years : How much did THAT cost me?Planning for Vacations:
6 weeks : How do 2 weeks in Vienna or anywhere you please sound??
6 months : What’s so bad about going to Istanbul on a charter plane?
6 years : Travel? What’s so bad about staying home???TV:
6 weeks : Baby, what would you like us to watch tonight?
6 months : I like this movie.
6 years : I’m going to watch ESPN, if you’re not in the mood, go to bed, I can stay up by myself.

Jonathan,
I don’t think I’d follow the advice you posted. Seriously, are you engaged? Wow.
Jon,
Switch the 6 weeks for the 6 years comments and you will be a winner. My wife loves it when I talk that way to her. Laurie will too. LOL
