"Love. Honor. And Negotiate. These simple acts should be part of marriage vows, because the first two make the conversations, disagreements, and negotiations much more pleasant, productive, and kind. Because you will not always, really almost never, completely get your way. Be prepared to negotiate topics from big to small to the permanent — where to go to dinner, what style of bathroom tile to have installed, how to discipline your children. And these conversations actually bring you closer together and solidify you as a team of two." — Susi May, senior content director, Living
