One of the things I really liked about it was the advice he gives to newly weds. Millet said that when his kids first started getting married, he had a laundry list of advice; but over time it's boiled down to two things that are needed to keep a strong marriage:
- Don't take offense
- Always assume the best
It's definitely not something easy or maybe even possible to achieve in this life, but it does definitely cover a lot of ground and has helped me better evaluate myself. What do you think of this advice?

I sure wish someone would have told me that when we were first married! By doing this, you avoid the defensive wall that would otherwise be built. I also think you become a better listener and are therefore kinder to each other. Instead of jumping to conclusions it gives the spouse a chance to fully explain. (ie--So, are you saying...?) Great communication will develop!
