...ADVICE as a wedding gift? Bleh. Advice is something that everyone wants to give away and nobody really wants to take. Is it just me, or does this sound terribly cheap?
Most of this is either a) common sense b) completely impossible to do all the time c) doesn't apply to everyone and d) is ages out of date. Pat little sayings like this are often not worth the time it takes to write them... and I don't know if this is from a "feminist" perspective - more like a "She is a goddess and is never wrong" perspective. Since when does this mean equality? While it might work most of the time... eww. I personally like men to have some backbone, thank you very much. (Yes, I've been married seven and a half years, so I can speak with at least a bit of authority.)
One point I definitely disagree with: sometimes even if you're still mad it IS better to stop fighting and get some rest (if you can) because goodness knows people are much grouchier and prone to fight and be unreasonable when very tired.
But... I do agree with one of her points in particular. I really DON'T get tired of being told I'm beautiful. I do think women need to be told that regularly to try and combat the horrid self-image that the media and advertisers are trying to sell them.
