12 Rules for a Happy Marriage

My husband's grandmother gave me a news clipping one day,  I think this is what we should know for being a happy couple. They are very simple rules though, there are some very important keys to be a happy couple in the rules.  This article was from "Dear Ann Landers" who is known as an adovice columnist  in the states.

1. Never both be angry at once

2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire

3. Yield to the wishes of the ohter as an exercise in self-discipline     if you can't think of a better reason

4. If you have a choice between making yourself or your mate look good, choose your mate

5. If you have any critiecism, make it lovingly

6. Never bring up a mistake of the past

7. Neglect ther whole world rather than each other

8. Never let the day end without saying at least one kind or complimentary thing     to your life's partner
