Lesson Learned: When it comes to love, listen to your rabbi


I was at a wedding in New York City this weekend. During the Rabbi’s sermon to the bride and groom he told them about six phrases every married couple should constantly say to each other. The first phrase included six words, the second five, and so on and so on. The Rabbi promised that the use of these phrases would make the coming years a whole lot more enjoyable and easier on them. I took notice:

6. I appreciate the things you do

5. You did a great job

4. What is your opinion?

3. I love you

2. Thank you

1. We

I’m not sure if anyone’s figured out an equation to a perfect marriage and probably never will but I do know when it comes to these phrases I would be happy to be on the receiving side of any of them. So I guess when it comes to love sometimes, it’s best to just listen to your rabbi and hope he's got someone above him handing down some advice…lesson learned.
