For the second Sunday in a row, I share words of wisdom from The New York Times “Vows” column, this time from bride Caroline Tiger’s book:
May you date people who chew with their mouths closed and turn their cellphone off during dinner. May you fall madly in love with gentle souls who give thoughtful gifts (and they with you). And may you continue to be nice to one another long after your honeymoon periods have passed.
Nice, nice, nice. I read somewhere the a couple should make a vow to do 30 nice things for each other each day…little things, like a touch on the shoulder, a grin, a joke, opening doors, etc. Whether you actually reach 30 isn’t as important as just being mindful of that kind of thing.
Now if I could only find someone to spoil!!!
… In addition to communicating at all times, may couples turn every argument into a silly joke of sorts. And may bathroom humor (farting, etc.,) never be left out of the picture!
