Lynn and I are going to try something new, we decided. We're going to give the old adage a try that says, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." I think it's going to be tougher than it might have seemed at first, but I'm hoping that it can help improve our marriage. It's such a simple phrase to remember, and since it was just mentioned by Elder Eyring in General Conference this last weekend, I thought it would be good to try it. Too many times I find that we point out the negative things rather than the positive things about the other. I hope this will turn things around.
So, if you're ever around us and notice that either one of us isn't being nice to the other, you have my permission to kick our butts!

That is a good thing to try. Maybe we will try. We are so sarcastic...It's gonna be hard!
Ps, I voted for random, because I usually comment on anything that I have something to say about. I would say sad the least because sometimes there just aren't words.
Oh, I'm going to have so much fun kicking your butts. Whose shall I kick first? ;-)
Just don't become so nice to each other that you are boring. I won't let you guys come over any more.
I think that is a great goal! Brent & I try to do that, and for the most part we do... it is great to only hear nice and uplifting things from your spouse! Also, I voted for random... I love random!
kristen- you are so funny... ;)
Can't wait to hear the results!!!!
