February 18, 2014 by weddingsar

In 2002, Carolee Emerson was one of the first brides featured in Weddings in Arkansas. Today, she has been happily married to her beau Matt for 12 years, and the couple now has two young daughters-Lauren, 8, and Allie, 4. Over the last few weeks, we have been sharing Carolee’s tips, as seen in our fall/winter issue, that have proved to be a recipe for marital bliss through the years. Here’s the last hint for a happy marriage- we hope you have enjoyed them!

10. Don’t forget to laugh! So often our lives are impossibly busy and we are consumed with the logistics of running a household, managing careers, etc. Take a break and don’t forget to have fun!

8. Sleep on it. Often conflicts are best dealt with when you have calmed down. If it is not solved at 2:00 a.m., it is not going to be solved at 3:00 a.m.

7. Also, remember to stick together when the kids try to divide and conquer. It really works if you present a united front and they’ll soon see you mean what you say.
