Today is our 4th anniversary.
….
What is the key to a great relationship?
My friend Jenny says the key to a successful marriage is to “be easy.”
My two cents:
I think you have to have enough in common to connect and stay together, and enough differences to create a spark…and to keep that spark all sparky.
And when you disagree, in the words of Stephen Covey:
“Seek first to understand, then to be understood”
That’s huge. If I have any advice at all, that’s it.
I knew she was the one right from the start. It’s been a wonderful 4 years, still madly in love. Here’s to many more!
…the first Ali email I have saved. We both freaked out about the new Superman movie (Superman Returns). Superman – the way to my heart.

Congratulations to you both! It makes me so happy to see people in happy, fulfilling relationships. Your advice is spot-on. Happy anniversary.
My happy returns on this felicitous occasion!
Happy Anniversary! Yay for love.
It makes me happy to see you two happy. So what will the anniversary entail? I say make plans to go to the Chicago Comicon. Lots of folks dressed up as trekkies and super heroes and Adam West to boot. Started today, not sure why I didn’t go. If only I had a partner to go with….. ha ha ha, ain’t no way. My only commitment is to stay single.
Congrats!
thanks for all the anniversary love, guys!
