Well, I owe all of you a HUGE apology for posting this contest late. And more than a few of you have emailed me to remind me to get on the stick. Thank you all!



Well, Valentine's Day is upon you guys and gals. And based on the responses you posted to the, "And then the fight began . . . " contest, you are just full of advice to insure a great relationship with your wife (husband), etc.



Here is your chance to give a bit of advice and perhaps win a FASS Titanium System for your own personal Valentine's Day gift.



Well, one Geno's Garage staff member (who will remain nameless) just went and got himself engaged! Can you believe it? Come to think of it, another Geno's Garage staff member is engaged and a third one just got married. Must be in the water?



So, post your very best advice to these guys (yep, they are all three guys). And that simple gesture will get you registed in the FASS for FREE February Contest.



If you can't come up with any advice, just post your name, but put your flame suit on if you can't come up with anything.



Just think, the guys at Geno's get some advice for keeping their significant others' happy, and you get a Valentine's gift of a free, top-of-the-line fuel system.



There you have it.



Happy posting, and the only rule is, KEEP IT CLEAN!



Just to get you motivated, cruise on over to the FASS website and take a look at those fuel pumps. Just be sure to keep the drool off your keyboard! Here is a link:

Good luck guys and gals!

Well Congratulation!!!! to you all.

We'll you newly wed's, I Don't have a lot of advise, just learn a new vocabulary, that includes a lot of------------"yes dear"----------"right away dear"------------ And by all means---------DON'T CALL HER MADAM.

This has worked for me for almost FIFTY ONE years come April.

Enjoy one an others company and don't go to bed at night with a disagreement between you. Its Takes a big man to say I'm sorry.
 
Never forget the important days from the past! B-days, anniversaries, first date,



Really write that stuff down because they really can and will remember!
 
Principles that have served us well over the past 20+ years:

1) might make a long day/night, but don't go to bed mad:-{}

2) Make, and stick to, a strict budget and don't make note-worthy purchases or financial commitments behind one another's back. How much is significant? Agree to this right away. Studies show that most marital problems have their roots in finances.

3) Most times, spur-of-the-moment comments will get you into trouble. Keep them to yourself until you are able to work out better wording and can pick a more appropriate time to bring up the issue.



Best wishes for a long and happy relationship!Oo.
 
It's the little items that cause the greatest problems or the greatest rewards.
1. Put the seat down. (and never try to ponder or ask why they don't check before sitting down since it is important to them and not to us... )
2. Toilet paper unwinds over the top.
3. There is no correct response to "Does this make me look fat" (or variations on that theme)
4. Make time for just the two of you. Schedule a "date night" and stick to it.
5. Take a lesson from our pets when you greet your spouse. From a distance wag your tail (smile). The closer you get, the more excited you should behave. (but make it fit the environment... . there are still public places that have banned me)
6. Take every opportunity to hold hands.

Remember what Socrates said about getting married: If you find a good wife you will be happy; if not, you will become a philosopher.
 
Most smart things have already been said. Remember it takes a lot of work. A lot of give and take. Talk to each other. Be honest with each other. Finance's are always one of the biggest issues people fight over. Be careful not to get in over your head. It is easy to do and difficult to get straightened out. Good luck in your futures. We're going on 36 years this year and they all have not been easy.

Best advice is to bring her flowers. A dozen roses for Valentine's and also a dozen roses for her birthday. Wives and girlfriends like roses.



I guess I'm lucky because my wife's birthday is on Valentine's day. So I only have to get her one dozen roses once. That's kind of like killing two birds with one stone.
 
My advice would be to always be honest and open with each other. Try to stay on the same page and when you're not, talk it out. If you develop trust in each other then your relationship will be solid. Make it an equal partnership.

Going on 42 years and its still a work in progress!

Good Luck.
 
Just remember. "Happy Wife=Happy Life". Figure out what she likes, what makes her happy and DO IT. Dont try to understand it, because you will drive yourself crazy trying to. Remember the Nike slogan. "Just do it", enough said.
 
Stay away from websites that are discussion boards about your favorite truck!:-laf Spend time with her instead.



Learn these phrases:



I'm sorry.

You were right.

It won't happen again.
 
Several suggestions from my personal experience.



1. Never and I mean never use the phrase "God... your *** is huge" while you wife is holding a frying pan. Don't ask me how I found that one out.



2. Start every day by rolling over in bed, looking your wife lovingly in the eyes and say... . "Honey, I am truly sorry for whatever stupid thing I am going to today".



3. So it doesn't come as a surprise to you later, Jeff Foxworthy once gave the best quote about sex and marriage I've ever heard. He said something like "When you are young and have the choice between sleep and sex, you choose sex every time. When you're married and have kids and you have the choice between sleep and sex, you choose sleep and just hope you dream about sex". Nothing could be more true.
 
When you have kids, make sure you're both on the same page regarding not only discipline, but rewards.



Do not undermine one another's authority.



When in doubt, ask her.



When you're sure, ask her.



Find things you can do together and DO THEM TOGETHER.



If she cleans a lot, help out. Make a mess.



Learn to cook and cook for her.
