That being in love is not an adequate foundation for building a successful marriage
That romantic love has two stages
That the saying : "like mother, like daughter" and "like father, like son" is not a myth
How to solve disagreements without arguing
That apologizing is a sign of strength
That forgiveness is not a feeling
That toilets are not self-cleaning
That we needed a plan for handling our money
That mutual sexual fulfillment is not automatic
That I was marrying into a family
That spirituality is not to be equated with "going to church."
That personality profoundly influences behavior.
