I learned that silence is sometimes wiser than speaking, and that your partner cannot read your mind. You have to say clearly what you want.

I learned that very high expectations are the greatest cause of disappointment. The more I moderated my expectations and appreciated what I had, the more peaceful life became.

Our first disagreement frightened me, and I thought our marriage was ending. Later, I learned that disagreement is normal. What matters is how you resolve it, not that it never happens.
