I recently hosted a bridal shower for a lovely young woman I have known for many years. She has chosen a wonderful young man and has made great choices in her life. The guests and I took turns giving her three bits of advice for a happy marriage. The advice I gave was very much inspired by your wisdom, Dr. Laura!

1. Treat your husband like your hero and he will be.
2. Be your husband's girlfriend -- never his mother.
3. Separate blankets. (ok, that one is totally mine!)

And I could have added a fourth:

4. Men and women are gloriously different. This should be celebrated and enjoyed. The perfect balance if we do it right!

Thank you Dr. Laura. May God bless you and yours.
