I have been around a long time; I don’t tend to stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong, but if you seek out my opinion about how to go about living your life, I will be glad to offer suggestions if I can.
The first bit of suggestion I can offer is to choose your spouse carefully.
Go through some kind of premarital counseling or activities if you can. Throughout your life, you will have to make loads of decisions, but there will be absolutely none that matter more than this one. The second bit of advice I like to offer is to furnish your house with care in order to have traditional excellence in the place you consider your refuge. There is a temptation to skimp when it comes to one’s own desires, but don’t do that when it comes to setting up your house. If you adore leather couches and leather chairs surrounded by shelves filled with books, then do not settle for an old wooden table and garish trinkets that look like they come from a child’s cozy dollhouse. If the end of the day finds you weary and longing for a glamorous bedroom to sleep away your troubles, then work to get it. Try not to settle for what you do not want. If you can’t find anything at the store that suits you, it is possible to get custom made furniture. With custom built furniture, your home can be exactly how you want it. Whether you prefer the elegance of a grand European retreat or the simplicity of natural wood furniture, save up for it and make your home a place to get away from it all.
