Always act like she is standing right next to you wheather she is or not. That's what i do in my marrage, I don't do say or act any different than i would want her to when she's out and about. We've been together since she was 15 and married now for over 10 years. Also i've learned it's always better to be happy than right !! You hang with your homies but you sleep with your wife. Congrats bro, even with little bumps in the road here or there married life has been great, i know that's rare but true !!
