A marriage guide that will surely help couples. I believe that the best people in the world to accept marital advice from are those who have been successful at the art of marriage. Before contemplating marriage, one should seek advice from those who have been married twenty-five years or more and have been "happily" married at least most of that time. You can ask these couples questions such as "what is the one thing that has kept you two together all of these years?" "I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was that promise." - Thornton Wilder
