Three lessons from the longest running TV Marriage


Lesson #1
Be yourself.
This is the only way you can truly be loved for who are. It is also a great way to be able to appreciate truly why you are loved. Homer is not the most sensitive man and Marge loves her “Homey”. And I have never hear Homer suggest Marge get a haircut or color her hair blond.

Lesson#2
Accept your spouse for who they are. They were designed to do some things & need you for others. They were not designed solely for your happiness. Once you have accepted them, love them for who they are. Marge has never tried to get Homer to quit bowling and Homer doesn’t try to squelch Marge’s civic minded activities.

Lesson #3
Forgive, apologize, and move on. Both people must be able to apologize for the impact of their choices. Many people excuse their negative impact on the relationship because they are a good person or they didn’t meant it. Receive the apology and truly forgive. Marge and Homer don’t bring up past mistakes and hurts in new episodes over and over again.

And if you read my last blog…
TA-DAA!!!
