1) Never shout at each other unless the house is on fire

2) Never let your wife’s hand touch a door knob.  Always open the door for her

MONSON_medium“Although our journey through mortality will at times place us in harm’s way, may I offer you tonight three suggestions which, when observed and followed, will lead us to safety. They are:  1. Study diligently.  2. Pray fervently.  3. Live righteously.  These suggestions are not new; they have been taught and repeated again and again. If we incorporate them into our lives, however, we will have the strength to withstand the adversary. Should we ignore them, we will be opening the door for Satan to have influence and power over us.”
– Thomas S. Monson
