putting a call out to all readersssss! i'm writing a wedding toast for my favorite beanpole couple. a few years ago my dad gave one of these toasts and he rocked the hiz-house. one of the things he did was poll his local favorite advice givers (including the barber, etc).
so, i'm polling you. do you have the advice for the keys to martial bliss (or at least a happy one)? email rutheregodwtf@gmail.com with the precious tidbits.
how is this post different than all other posts?
-i'm asking you to email me comments instead of posting them. i know this is an extra step, but think of it this way, i promise not to judge your grammar/spelling.
will i post them eventually?
-YES, let me know if you want your name attached to it
what if i wanna be anonymous?
-hmmm, if you don't have a fake email address already, you can post comment and i will take it down after reading it
why is this post different from all other posts?
-b/c i wanna suprise 'em, just in case they take a quick second to check this website before the wedding
am i really gonna base my whole toast on your advice?
-umm, well not the whole thing, but we'll see how good it is! plus, let's see if anyone out there is brave and wise enough to send me anything. ;)
isn't this a little cheesy/gimmicky/silly?
-yes, of course. but there's a time and place... and i trust that y'all have heard of or thought of some solid advice (or at least something to make us giggle).
thanks for playing!

does this make you the "gatekeeper"?
here is some of the advice i was given:
Can’t take yourself to seriously
Sometimes your partner does know more than you do
Make sure you do fun things together
There's an old adage: "Never go to bed mad." I think that's a bunch of hooey (actually I think it's something else but there's usually kids at weddings so I'll keep it clean). Anyway, if you're tired, go to sleep already! Sleep on it and continue the conversation in the morning - if you even still care about what you were mad about in the first place.
When a discussion starts to turn into an argument or fight, grab your partner's hand. It's remarkably difficult to fight with someone when you are holding hands.
Plan time to celebrate each other and your relationship. If this means that the dishes or dusting needs to wait until tomorrow, ask yourself what's more important? (Hint: it's your partner not the dishes.)
See if you can match your dog's enthusiasm when your partner comes home from work! Our dogs are always so excited to see us...
It’s not about right and wrong, but your wife always right
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Learn the unequivocal apology. Just “I’m sorry” and leave it at that.
