DailyDish - Don't take it personally

Want to save your marriage despite having kids? Remember this.

An out-of-focus close-up of a woman's angry face.When we were getting ready to have kids, Rachel and I knew that once a baby came along we would be perpetually low on shut-eye and that we would be pretty cranky because of it. So we agreed that we wouldn't take anything either of us said personally. We knew it would be just the exhaustion talking and that we wouldn't really mean it.

So far, after six years and three kids, we're still together and, despite the occasional snapping at each other, going strong. Whenever we encounter someone pregnant for the first time, the most important advice we give them is not about diapers or clothes or how to soothe a colicky baby but simply "don't take anything personally."
