I really enjoy taking care of couples because in family practice we believe that understanding humans beings in the context of their relationships is essential to providing good care. One couple married for over five decades stands out in particular because they are always laughing and smiling and seem to truly enjoy one another's company. I asked the wife during one of our visits, "What's the secret to your successful marriage?" She smiled and replied, "You just have to let some things go!" Here's another piece of advice that a wise man shared with my buddy on his wedding day: "There will be many times in your marriage when you feel that you are getting the short end of the stick; rest assured that your spouse will be feeling the exact same way."
