Frank and I were married 35 years Valentine's Day. There are 'rules' that must be applied:
Never go to sleep angry, even if it takes all night to talk it out.
Never take each other for granted.
Say "I love you" every day.
Always kiss hello and goodbye.
Do the little things that make the other feel special.
A marriage doesn't work if you aren't willing to give it your all. We began as friends in junior high and I still feel that 'tingle' when he walks into the room.
God bless you both!
