Today is my parents’ 25^th wedding anniversary.

So for the purpose of this blog, I thought I might relay a little relationship advice from my dad. Now it's obvious that men and women don't typically see things the same way (relationships in particular). Therefore, I thought it would be best to pick the man’s brain and get his side of the story. So here goes: 4 things (from Bill's perspective) that lead to long-lasting, happy relationships.  

1.       Choosing wisely from the beginning

2.       Perseverance

3.       Maintaining a relationship with her parents that is just as strong as your relationship with her

4.       Good food and good wine

Congratulations and thanks, Mom and Dad, for being such a great example of love and commitment. Here's to another 25!
