Thanks! Suzanne and I also live by the "never go to bed mad" rule. There've been a couple of times when we've been mad and tried to go to bed, but the light always comes back on soon, and we talk it out before we close our eyes. I love your family, and thank you for the example you set of faithfulness and hard work in marriage. Great comment, Maggi. Thanks!

My dad will tell anyone that he and my mom never had a serious "fight." I'm sure most arguments they had involved us "kids." Just as many of Ed's and mine have been. He will also tell you that he and mom never went to bed mad. I cannot say that as far as my husband and me, but I do know we never started a day mad. I remember my father always showed my mother respect and would defend her no matter what. As a result of their example they have five children who are still married to their "original" spouses. Ed and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this past year and I have two sisters and a brother who have been married longer than I have. I agree Michael that you have to remove the bricks and there are many ways of doing this. Sometimes it is just one at a time. My parents were married for 64 years.
