Tips from a Newlywed Hothead


A friend of mine is getting married in a couple weeks. I wasn't able to attend her bridal shower, but the organizers asked us to write on a card, something like a memorable bible verse, an anecdote about marriage or womanhood. So I wrote the following:

TIPS FROM A NEWLYWED HOTHEAD

Great advice - my hubby especially seems to like it when I remember to praise something he did. I used to complain that NO ONE congratulates me, but my Mom told me to just try being more generous in this way. Did I mention my Mom is wise?
