As I planned my wedding, I received a lot of advice from lots of folks. One particular piece of advice has really stuck with me during my marriage....
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
This is a quote from Benjamin Franklin.
It has held true during my 17 1/2 years of marriage. It is so important to focus on what made you fall in love with your spouse. Time and the stresses of life intrude and try to bust love apart. Keeping your mind tuned into the good things and the happiness you share is how to make a marriage work.
