by Eliana:
From my father-in-law to his son, my husband, at some point between ages 21 and 26 when we got married: "There's a lot of women who are good in the kitchen. You got to make sure you find one who's good in the bedroom."
From the musical and actual novel Les Miserables: "To love another person is to see the face of God."
From my grandmother at my bridal shower: "Before you get married, keep your eyes wide open. After you get married, keep them half shut."
From the weirdest song on the classic rock station by Jimmy Soul: "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life/Never make a pretty woman your wife/So from my personal point of view/Get an ugly girl to marry you."
From the woman married to Paul Newman, who is in my opinion the sexiest man who ever lived. Joanne Woodward: "Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat."
From my friend Annie's stake president: "My husband would be my guest - and he should be a good guest, and a gracious guest." (She's still confused at whether she's a hotel or wife).
From John Tesh of radio advice fame: "Marriage should not be 50-50. It is 60-40. If each partner is aiming for 60% then both will be happy."
So Modern Mormon Men readers, what advice on marriage have you heeded or ignored?
