I found this from a certain website about marriage. It's a nice read and if you have time, print it out and post it on your bedroom. :)
Ten Commandments for the Twentieth Century Husband
- Thou shalt put thy wife before they mother, thy father, thy son, and thy daughter, for thy wife is thy lifelong companion.
- Abuse not thy body by overeating, by tobacco, or drink, that thy days may be many and healthful in the presence of thy loved ones.
- Permit neither thy business nor thy hobby to make of thee a stranger to thy children, for the most precious gift a man giveth his family is his time.
- Forget not the virtue of cleanliness.
- Make not thy wife a beggar, but share willingly with her thy worldly goods.
- Forget not to say "I love you," for even though thy love be constant thy wife doth yearn to hear these words.
- Remember that the approval of thy wife is worth more than the admiring glances of a hundred strangers. Cleave unto her and forsake all others.
- Keep thy home in good repair, for out of it cometh the joys of old age.
- Forgive with grace, for who among us does not need to be forgiven?
- Honor the Lord all the days of thy life, and thy children will rise up and call thee blessed.
Ten Commandments for Wives
Since I am a wife, I will try to put little comments on each :)
- Carefully guard thine health so thou canst always greet thy husband with a smile.
- Never nag or complain. - I don't usually nag but I sometimes complain.. or was it really sometimes?
- Do not worry about things which thou canst not change. - why do guys always leave their dirty clothes on the floor? ok, I know it's hard to change it.. but can't they just try? :)
- Do not spend all thy time scrubbing, cleaning, and dusting the house. - I don't!
- Love thine husband and children more than thy house.
- Know how to prepare good, nutritious food and keep it on the table. - still learning :)
- Know the limitations of thy husband's income and do not try to keep up with others. - a must!
- Do not buy a hat or hairdo or wig that makes thy husband unhappy. - still thinking about this
- Remember that at times silence is golden. - agree!
- Do not drive the automobile from back or side seat. - Good thing I always drive from the driver's seat :p
