Lady Jan almost got on TV with this Letter!

I wrote this letter for a contest for channel 26 kmph news two years ago, and almost got interviewed for Valintines Day! But then my daughter got sick and started throwing up, and I had to cancel! My daughter felt guilty, but I told her she was a whole lot more important than being on TV!

Anyway here's my Letter!:

Contest: Secrets to a long lasting relationship.

Dear Great Day,

I and my husband have--in December-celebrated our twenty-fourth (26 years now!) wedding anniversary, so at almost a quarter of a century of marriage, I think I qualify to give some advice. So here it goes:

1. Communication is very important in a marriage--so keep talking (no nagging), even if he fakes being asleep. Some of it is bound to be getting through.

2. Don’t hold a grudge-chances are very good that he doesn’t remember what he did wrong anyway.

3. Learn to cook food he really likes--it’s true that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It is also true that when you’re on a diet, your husband probably doesn’t want to be on one too.

4. Hold hands--we still do. This is a great way to say “Yep, this is my guy, (or gal) and I’m not embarrassed to be seen in public with you.”

5. Date your spouse (or the one you’re with)--and call it a date. It really does keep the relationship fresh. This is my husband’s idea from the start of our marriage, and it’s a good one, all these’s years later we are still dating. And sometimes when we go some place special or romantic, I still get that tingle, and my husband says he does too.

You have my permission to use this on your show, thank you.

Sincerely, Janice
