Dearest Rich and Allison,

If you hear tap dancing streaming on this web page while you are reading this post, you are not going crazy…it’s me, dancing out of joy.  If you look closely, far off in the distance (near the Golden Gate Bridge) you will see the former producer of StartupNation, “Heather Happy Feet Can Do Cohen” (that’s me) doing the Happy Dance for Rich and Allison. 

 

Advice: 

* Sing like no one is listening… (“Start it up…Start it up…”)!

* Dance like no one is watching; now you’ve got life long partner (no more dancing alone)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77aXYhRm4rk

* Love like you’ve never been hurt.

* Enjoy every minute of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNyFojwMcuE

* And if you’re stressed…invest in some bubble wrap:

*Live like it’s Startup heaven on Earth!

May your life together be SPECTACULAR!

Sincerely,

Heather

Rich,

Married with five kids, rather happily - I can offer one little piece of advice that my husband and I try to live. 

Marriage is a decision to SERVE the other person. 

Congrats and blessings!

heather! great to hear from you - hope all`s well. thanks for the well wishes.

cheerdirector, i`ve gathered a lot of wisdom from fellow SUNsters here, but this is really simple and crisp and something i`ll keep with me. THANKS!

and thanks to all who`ve shared. with so many failed marriages around, it`s good to learn about relationships that have worked and to understand why.

all i can say is, it`s going to be great to be "served"!

Rich,

Congratulations! Having worked side by side with my husband Steve for the last two years -- and having been married for 19 years -- my best advice is to set some boundaries so your passion for work doesn`t overtake your life together.  For example, you could decide never to talk about business over dinner so you hold that time together as sacred for the relationship.  Enjoy every minute.  Be kind to each other.  And here`s a favorite piece of advice shared with me by my CPA. Have fun.  Make money.  One without the other isn`t good enough. 

Rich,

If you both truly love each other, you won`t really need any advice. You`ll know what to do naturally. You will both want to make each other happy and it will just end up being fine.

Best wishes!
Chris

So eloquently stated. 

As a follow-up...

This above all:
To thine own self be true,
for it must follow as dost the night the day,
that canst not then be false to any man.

~ William Shakespeare
