This collection of advice serves as reminders for those long married; guidance for those struggling in their relationship; and courage for those considering getting married. My husband and I eloped to Belize in 1996. We inserted a 3" X 5" notecard and envelope into each announcement and requested our friends and family return the notecard with written words of wisdom as their gift.

This collection of advice serves as reminders for those long married; guidance for those struggling in their relationship; and courage for those considering getting married. My husband and I eloped to Belize in 1996. We inserted a 3" X 5" notecard and envelope into each announcement and requested our friends and family return the notecard with written words of wisdom as their gift. Twenty years later, in 2016, I pulled the notecards out of storage and realized their value. I hope you find them as useful as we do. What did I learn from this exercise? As I read each note, I placed it next to similar insights; piles began to form. Those piles became chapters. I realized than no advice had more value than any other. Who was I to say what was most important? Thus, I ordered the chapters based on what seemed to have the most gravity first (respect, compromise, trust, forgiveness) and the long-term advice at the end (humor, patience, wisdom). In the end, I learned it takes maturity, a sense of self, and hard work to develop and maintain a marriage. Nothing new or flashy, no cure-all; simply salt-of-the-earth advice from those who lived it. I had the benefit of knowing all of the authors. I valued the pride the long-married had in their wisdom. And I now take away tools to use to cherish and honor our marriage. It is more than worth it.
