Tip for a Happier Marriage

Remove all forms or sarcasm from your vocabulary. The word sarcasm comes from a Greek work meaning, "to tear flesh like dogs." There is never a good time or good reason to tear your spouse's flesh.
For some people, sarcasm is their primary form of expressing humor. How many times has someone lofted a mildly amusing -- yet cunningly biting "joke" -- in your direction followed by, "I'm just kidding"? Joke or no joke, it hurts. It's the same with sarcasm. If you're the type of person who enjoys this form of "banter," remember its Greek translation and keep your tongue from wagging.
