9+ Doable Tips for Marriage (After 35 Years of Experience)

My anniversary gift to Mark is the Waco sky, the night we married. (A picture of it, anyway!) I think this customized star map is perfect to hang in our bedroom. Mark has always loved the sky, as have I.

When the kids were growing up, especially in the summer, he would make us all go outside, lay on the driveway and look up at the stars, constellations, and satellites. The kids always fussed about this family time, especially as they got older. But, it is a happy memory for me. The sky—the moon and the stars, symbolizes our love, our interests, our marriage and our future.

There will always be stars in the sky, if God allows, and there will always be us. This is us.

And ending with a joke…

“Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.” -Henny Youngman

Don’t ever stop the conversation about the two of you.

I hope for you 31+ years with your best friend. I hope for you laughter and friendship with the one you love. I hope for you a long-lasting marriageForever and ever, Amen.
