Marriage Advice

Shortly before Colin and I got married, my dad and I were discussing things that make a good marriage. One of the things that he told me was to treat Colin as I would my best friend Catrina. The example that he gave was that if Catrina wanted to see a movie that I didn't necessarily want to see, that I would go see it anyway because she was my best friend. He talked about give and take and compromise. I thought of that advice today as Colin wanted to go see Avatar. I was not keen on going to this sci fi movie- it's not my thing. I went with Colin to see it anyway because I love him and he does go to all the chick flicks with me and doesn't complain too much...although Colin will go see almost any movie because he loves movie theatre popcorn! In the end, a small thing like going to a movie that I didn't want to see, made my husband very happy. I even had to admit that it was a pretty good movie after all.
