In the spirit of several marriages that will be taking place soon I’ve taken it upon myself to act as a couples counselor, marital adviser, wisdom provider. As of Memorial Day I will have docked 9 years with my significant other…a significant amount of time in deed. Therefore I believe I have a little bit of insight on marriage and all that goes with it. Even if you’re not married, I think this advice is pretty standard:
Partnership Advice #1:
Don’t Go To Bed Mad
This is one that old folks will always tell you. I think it should be reworded: don’t talk about anything serious, touchy, issue-y, or naggy after 10pm. This will help you avoid going to bed angry because, let’s face it, no one is really any good after 10pm. The sleepier you are the harder it is to hold your end of an argument. The more tired you feel the shorter your fuse. After 10pm is the wrong time to bring up your partner’s faults, who forgot to feed the cat, or your deep rooted insecurities. Save it…because things always look better in the morning.
