50. Leave a piece of advice for the other couples.
Love above all else, talk about EVERYTHING, take interest in things that interest them, love and enjoy your physical relationship (even when you are pregnant and hot and want to sit alone in an igloo), and make allowances so that you are able to spend the time and effort to always be best friends. When babies come, the best friend thing takes more work, but it's definitely do-able and definitely necessary.
I loved that you did this too! It's so fun to learn about you guys, thanks for sharing! ;)
