My daughter’s wedding shower brunch is tomorrow, during which I will be imparting some marital wisdom to my future son in law over breakfast.

My nuggets of wisdom will include:

1. Listen to her to understand and relate, not to reply and fix.
2. Make your home a safe place where you can leave the stress of the world outside
3. Go with her even on small errands sometimes, you’ll be surprised at the conversations and fun you can have doing simple things

Anything else you guys want to add?

Something my pastor told me before the wife and I made vows over 20 years ago...

Pay attention to who takes out the trash in her house and if it's the kids, take note which parent asks.

Try to pray before you respond in anger.

The problem with Bye week is that I can't celebrate the victory by downing copious amounts of Jack Daniel's.
The other problem with Bye week is that I can't drown my sorrows over the loss by downing copious amounts of Jack Daniel's.

There is an easy solution to your quagmire (giggity), substitute the Basketvol exhibition and let the #7 flow freely.

Figured I’d follow up my original post with barbecue pictures. Few things beat good barbecue and good football. Cheers!

23 years and 5 kids later, I will add...
Let go of the foolish pride, it will get you nowhere.

No matter how terrible her cooking is early on, suck it up, eat it and compliment it, because I promise you it will get A LOT better and one day you’ll appreciate it.

99.9% of the time, your wife will make the best decision for her family and most times it will be a very unselfish one, so just roll with it.

Give everything you have to her. Women are funny animals and if you do, there’s a good chance she will giver her everything to you.

Make time in your busy day to tell her every day, how beautiful she is, how much you appreciate her, how lucky you are to have her and how much you love her.

It took me a little while to figure things out but once I did, things got a lot easier and I don’t even want to think about where I’d be without my wife!😎
GBO!!

Give him the nickname Carlo. Should give you the upper hand for years.

Yes, I'd like to advise against this one....

I actually worked a couple of early hours before my afternoon wedding. I told a patient, in his late 70s, I was getting married that evening and his advice was classic: "Son, don't try to wear that thing out this weekend. I've been trying for 50 years and it just gets better......"

50+ years in myself and he was right.

My advice to him would be that it's not too late to back out, but you wouldn't want that for your daughter.
