What's the best advice your mother ever gave you?

My mother was so smart! She never gave advice unless you asked her for it. A few years after I divorced, I asked her what her secret was to a long and happy marriage. (She and my dad were married for 52 years before he died.) I will always remember her answer: ';Lot of Butter and lots of Sugar';. She explained that you have to butter your man up so he thinks he is the greatest thing that ever walked the earth. Then he will do anything and everything for you. Of course, when he does something give him sugar --praise him and tell how you could never have done that! (Of course, once in a while sugar can mean the obvious!)What's the best advice your mother ever gave you?
i thought that was a beautiful answer! husbands and wives need the support of each other in the way that only that spouse can give .
