tangerine...
i first discovered my love of led zeppelin in college and i think classic rock is a genre of music that a lot of people can relate to. in fact it is a good ice breaker. i was reminded of a good story when i heard one of my favorite zeppelin songs on the radio the other day...tangerine
the day after i graduated college, i left for utah to be a production assistant on a movie. my main role was to be a personal assistant to one of the lead actors. i had to pick him up at the airport and drive him everywhere, i naturally had led zeppelin in my cd changer and it was playing in the background as we made small chat. he heard the music and said "i love zeppelin!" and turned the music up loud. from that moment on we worked well together and always had something in common. i am a true believer that music and art can always bring people closer and have great meaning in our lives.

love language...
my sister recently had her bachlorette party in her old college town. while hanging around the hotel for jacuzzi time and happy hour, we met a lot of "old men" who were there for a reunion. they all offered up their best marriage advice. some that i remember are...
"marriage is a daily choice"
"if you decide to leave the next guy's feet will smell too"
"you just have to go through it, you can't go around it"
and another guy said he was married for 22 years and had the best wife ever.
so i thought about what my own advice would be? mine is simple; always be kind and always have an adventure waiting for the 2 of you. but i wanted to do some research on this and i found this interesting blog. it is written by a divorced man and it has some of the same advice from the old men in the jacuzzi, check it out here
one of my favorite tips in the blog is to learn your partners love language and use it! if you are unfamiliar with love languages, check it out here to take the test and find out which language you respond best to.
