My son sent me this one he found on the internet...
Then I came across this advice by American poet, Ogden Nash. He addressed it to husbands (but I think it is equally useful for wives!):
To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up. "A Word to Husbands" in Marriage Lines (1964)
The best advice Terry and I received from friends, early in our marriage, was: Never discuss anything controversial after 10 pm.
At the time, we often reminded each other of this useful precept - to avoid heated arguments when we were both tired. But nowadays it's mostly irrelevant: I am always asleep before 10 pm!
