In reply to Kelsey McPherson. I love this! A great phrase and so true. A united front is so important.

A good friend introduced the idea of “closing rank” to us. Even when you might not be 100% on the same page, you and your husband are always in the same team, and you should always present yourself as a united front. This goes along with what you said about never speaking poorly of your spouse to others. Whether it’s friends, in laws, children, etc., you should always definitively be on your spouse’s side.

In reply to Rebecca Lutz. My mother and grandmother said that, too! And totally agree with you. We have a whole post on being lovely at night - based on what my grandmother said to me! Thank you for sharing and for the encouragement. Means so much!

“Put on a little lipstick.” My mother’s great advice when she was staying with us after our first child was born. She felt it was very important for me to run a brush through my hair and put on a little lipstick before Bobby got home. She also is not a fan of wearing sweats. I don’t wear sweats nor do I wear this generation’s sweats which are leggings unless I am at the gym. I know this is a generational thing. We need to get over it and help our kids understand the importance of “look good, feel good, do good” – words of wisdom from my husband’s college golf coach. Love all your good advice! All have worked in our 31 year marriage!
