Today I'm grateful for things kids say.

My partner made a video today for a friend who is getting married. He included his daughter and asked her for advice to be a good husband and a good wife. Her advice was to "build stuff, cook together, drive each other around, go to the movie theater together, and talk together at restaurants." Pretty good advice from a 5 year old. Here's more from the internet:

• "Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." -- Dick, age 7
• "Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough." -- Lynnette, age 8
• "Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck!" -- Ricky, age 7
• "Don't forget your wife's name. That will mess up the love." -- Erin, age 8
• "Sensitivity don't hurt." -- Robbie, age 8
• "Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." -- Erin, age 8
• "Don't say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn't like picking what movie you want to watch." -- Natalie, age 9
