Every couple for whom marriage is forever unearths nuggets of wisdom along the way.

Here are a few:

• "Throw the word fair out the window. In one year of a marriage, one person may need 99 percent of the love, effort, or focus of the other; another year, it may be just the opposite."
• "What my father always told me when I was planning my wedding: 'You have to want to have a marriage, not just a wedding. Remember the difference.' "
• "Learn fast that the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence!"
  
• "After several years of marriage, there is no way I'm training another husband, so I will just keep the one I have!"
