I heard this little tip about how to improve our marriages.

  When we have news, whatever it may be, share it with your spouse first. We all know that "once a story's been told, it can't help but grow old." The first time we share an event we are engaged emotionally and we enthusiastically present it; the second time not so much, the third time it's becoming old hat. So, reserve the first share for your spouse. 

I like that!
