Your Special Secrets for a Happy Marriage

When I hit my wife, I cover her face and body with a wet towel.

No bruises, no social worker. No social worker, no judge.

Communication is so important.

I went badly wrong when my wife said she wanted decking on the patio.

Wonderful Swedish Proverb, Lillemor. Thank you. Here are two more you may like and/or wish to translate:

“If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be picking roses for a lifetime.” / “Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours” -Swedish Proverbs

If we are in wisdom for marriages I can quote one we got when we married:

To marry for beauty is like buying a garden for the rose bloom. Indeed the later is even wiser, since roses keep blooming every year.

Marriage is like a deck of cards. In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond. By the end, you wish you had a club and a spade.
