My husband and I eloped to Belize in 1996. We inserted a 3\" X 5\" notecard and envelope into each announcement and requested our friends and family return the notecard with written words of wisdom as their gift. Twenty years later, in 2016, I pulled the notecards out of storage and realized their value. I hope you find them as useful as we do. What did I learn from this exercise? As I read each note, I placed it next to similar insights; piles began to form. Those piles became chapters. I realized than no advice had more value than any other. Who was I to say what was most important? Thus, I ordered the chapters based on what seemed to have the most gravity first (respect, compromise, trust, forgiveness) and the long-term advice at the end (humor, patience, wisdom). In the end, I learned it takes maturity, a sense of self, and hard work to develop and maintain a marriage. Nothing new or flashy, no cure-all; simply salt-of-the-earth advice from those who lived it. I had the benefit of knowing all of the authors. I valued the pride the long-married had in their wisdom. And I now take away tools to use to cherish and honor our marriage. It is more than worth it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jodi Breckenridge Petit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977208681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977208682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Jodi Breckenridge Petit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077163413759,"sku":"9781977208682","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2823277d-c300-47c7-9bb3-cddfeebc39c5.jpg?v=1685468593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gift-of-insight-jodi-breckenridge-petit-9781977208682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
