b'E mails occasionally pour in to dick@dicksummer.com. Here\'s one that just poured. It says, "Dick, Just thought I\'d share a couple of life rules with you that I\'ve learned that have helped my marriage (of 45 years): Rule #1: Instead of arguing or debating with your wife too often, always agree with your wife on all the little things. This will make her happy and make your day go much more smoothly. Rule # 2: EVERTHING is a little thing....For you to share (or NOT to share) with you podcast listeners. -Jim Merrill-" \\n\\tJim\'s note got me to thinking. As some of you know, that can be dangerous. As Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says in my book Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot\\u2026available at Amazon\\u2026Louie says, "Salespeople have relationships with buyers. Lovers have romances\\u2026together." I have a decades long romance with my Lady Wonder Wench, based on the premise that folks who sweat together, stick together. \\n\\tThere are some quick rules of thumb that can help you develop some mutual sweat. For example, your bedroom should be a comfortable place for both you and your partner. So take the oil paintings of you with your last 8 lovers off the ceiling. Resist the urge to walk into the room doing the goose step. That can disturb the sensitive partner. Be sure you have good solid drapes so you have something strong to grab on to if things get a little out of control. It may be ok for your lover to talk on the phone during love making as long as the person to whom he or she is not his or her spouse. Or your spouse. One exception is if it\'s his commercial agent who has a booking for a series of national TV commercials. Don\'t mess with that.'
