What are the top five words of advice you give to newlyweds?<\/p>\n\t
I find your question hard to answer because I don’t think in terms of single words. Nor am I naive to think that one size fits all situations. Some of the advice I give couples about to be married is found in\u00a0Preparation for a Lifetime<\/a><\/em>. Letters that I have written to couples who have recently married are found in\u00a0Letters of Advice to Newlyweds<\/a><\/em>. But neither is a substitute for custom-tailored advice given because a person knows you and your spouse.<\/p>\n Do you have a particular concern? With some target in mind, I can talk to you about solutions that would be especially beneficial to you.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: What are the top five words of advice you give to newlyweds?
