Your best self, at home
Don't save your best self for guests. The one who sees you at seven in the morning deserves your patience more than anyone.

A friendship between two couples needs four people to click. That is why it is rare, and why it is worth keeping. When you find one, invest in it.

Say thank you out loud
Thank each other for the ordinary things: the dishes, the ride, the call to your mother. Gratitude that is said out loud keeps a home warm.

A full life around you
Grow old together on purpose. Keep learning, keep moving, keep friends who are older than you and friends who are younger. A long marriage needs a full life around it.
