Some nice words


I found all this great advice in a recent email and thought I would share. It was one of those chain emails but I removed the chain part:

ONE.
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.



TWO.
Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.



THREE.
Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.



FOUR.
When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.


FIVE..
When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye..


SIX.
Be engaged at least six months before you get married.



SEVEN..
Believe in love at first sight.



EIGHT.
Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
People who don't have dreams don't have much.



NINE....
Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely



TEN..
In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.



ELEVEN.
Don't judge people by their relatives.



TWELVE.
Talk slowly but think quickly.



THIRTEEN.
When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'



FOURTEEN.
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.



FIFTEEN.
Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.



SIXTEEN.
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.



SEVENTEEN.
Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.



EIGHTEEN.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.



NINETEEN.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.



TWENTY
Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice



TWENTY- ONE.
Spend some time alone.

What amazing advice. I am so with you on number 11. We are all our own individual and should be judged as such.

#20 must be true…I always smile as I answer the phone and just the other day I had a person tell me they always like to call me because it makes them feel good b/c I sound so happy. I wondered if their other calls were to a bunch of grumps!

I have to respectfully disagree with #6. Every couple is different. My parents married after less than three months of dating, and have now been together for thirty-two years. My husband and I dated for seven weeks before getting engaged, and have now been married for three years. Meanwhile, I have seen people date/be engaged for five years or more, only to get a divorce after less than two years. I don't believe that any length of dating or engagement will guarantee a better marriage.

I think these are great. With Art and me I don't think it was love at first sight. It was something that grew after knowing each other for a while.
