Happy Valentine's Day from Sock 101!
We thought it would be fun to give you a little relationship advice from some of the most qualified relationship experts...all of us at Sock 101.
So, here goes with the reverent and irreverent relationship advice!
From Kelly Yarbrough, Co-Owner and Chief Wisdom Officer:
1. The 2 most valuable words in marriage (Yes Dear). Know those and things will be fine.
2. Happy wife happy life!
From Matt Smith: Vice President of Everything Awesome and Jedi Knight of Relationships and Relationship Advice:
1. Have separate toothpaste containers or adapt to how she uses it (it only makes sense to squeeze from the back, but not all people believe that).
2. Choose your partner wisely. I mean, you probably have so many options, right? That's why you keep calling your ex-girlfriend...to tell her all about your countless other options, right?
3. Don't be selfish, because there's no "I" in team. And after Stacy left me, there's no I in Stacy.
4. Learn to negotiate. This will come in handy during your divorce
5. We know it’s high maintenance, but, for the love of God, don’t sleep on the decorative pillows.
6. When your drunk friend sleeps over, be sure to show him where the restroom is before he passes out on the couch. Wives don’t like sitting on surprisingly moist couch cushions.
From Jeremy Sickel, Billy Mays of Socks:
1. Be spontaneous outside of obvious time/financial/family/etc. requirements/responsibilities.
2. Devote time to the interests of your significant other. Though you may not always enjoy it, at least tolerate it and the favor might be returned more often than not.
From Alex Martin, Director of Ankle Art and Master of Long Form Writing:
1. Happy wife happy life.
From Lea Bailes, Co-Owner and Chief Initiator of Deal Flow:
1. You each need to be authentic. You have to know yourself, love yourself, and truly love the other person for who they are. You can't change somebody, so don't try.
2. Give your spouse or significant other the best version of you. They deserve it.
3. Build up your spouse or significant other. If you do, you will have an amazing relationship or marriage where the relationship is much greater than the sum of two people.
From Dave Feyerabend, Co-Owner and Chief Operations Genius:
1. Never complain about how she loads the dishwasher, just load the damn thing yourself. It will improve your sex life.
From Jason Grill, Co-Owner and Chief of Being Jason Grill
1. A wise man once told me..."Never marry a girl who you can't give or provide as much to them as their father did."
2. Have fun. Keep things simple. Allow your significant other friends and/or independent time."
3. Always try to smile and be positive no matter what the circumstances are in the relationship.
4. A person who challenges you in life and to be a better person is always a good thing.
