iTexas Realty Co. Blog: A 21st Anniversary Reflection - Here's What it Takes

Staying happily married is easy!   Really!   Here's what it takes:

Get Lucky - By this I mean, find the right woman.  I admit, this is not always a result of skill.  Try as you might, it's not easy to figure out the opposite sex, even if you have an advanced degree in psychiatry.  Admit it, we're all wired differently- and then we (they) change over the years!

Guys: Realize this - Women have their own cult.  They have a manual that is passed down from generation to generation that only they get to see (and share with their friends).  It's the Marriage Rules Book.  You have no choice but to acquiesce to the Rules.  Compromise is big in keeping the love of your life (and by association, yourself), happy.  Key phases are:  "you were right", "yes dear", and "I'm sorry". 

Some "Experts" say you must work at marriage- NOT SO!  If it's work, then you're not having fun.  It should be FUN! 

OK, life can be tough- but living it as well as you can, every day, with a wonderful woman by your side is one of the greatest rewards you will ever, ever have.  Count your blessings and give her a hug!
