REMEMBERING THE FIRST FIVE YEARS
Okay, okay—we were totally mocking the suggestion of writing down a line a day about the first five years of your marriage. But then we thought back to The Notebook and how we shamelessly bawled our eyes out over Noah, Allie, and the story-of-their-love twist ending. Sigh. In that love-of-my-life-has-Alzheimer's-and-she-can't-remember-me (yes, we're spoiling it, and, no, we don't care) light, we fully rescind the snide comments we were set to make about this five year journal. Record away, happy couples. Write down every first kiss and big fight. If nothing else, it'll make for excellent reading material for your grandchildren the day they uncover it in your dusty old attic.
