Marriage is no walk in the park, as any married couple will attest. Choosing to spend the rest of your life with the same person is a decision you continue making every single day and it requires plenty of patience, sacrifice, and mutual respect. Not to mention, an unfailing sense of humor.
Reddit recently asked the married couples in its audience about the unspoken rules that help keep their marriage alive and their responses might just save your relationship—or at least, provide you with some pointers.
1. There’s no winning when it comes to arguments.
There’s no “winning” an argument when you’re married. You either come to an agreement somehow or you’ve both lost. A situation where one person walks away feeling discouraged, unheard, and disrespected is not a victory when you’re married.
Everybody always says to be honest and to communicate with each other. The extra step that is left out is to not punish your spouse for being honest. Sometimes you might hear things you don’t like, but if you punish this honesty, the communication line will close.

1. This baguette wrist pad that’ll add a little culinary flair to any office.
We all have at least one friend who isn’t built for cold weather—the one who hibernates from November until February and is hardly seen or heard from until the temperatures start to rise again. Okay, so maybe that one friend is you and you’re desperately trying to survive the early stages of winter without freezing to death, I feel you.
In any case, the coldest months of the year are still ahead of us and you (or your friend) will need something to keep you warm enough to function without costing a fortune. Thankfully, Amazon has just the product to help you thrive in the unrelenting cold weeks ahead.

Some of us struggle more with cold weather than others.
This Ororo slim fit heated jacket comes with a chargeable battery pack, detachable hood, and is lined with warm fleece to ensure you don’t lose any excess body heat.
“I love this ladies slim jacket. I’m 5’3, 130lbs and a small fits great. It’s true to size so not sure why some folks think it runs small. I like the pockets as they’re big enough to put my hands in. Detachable hood is super convenient. The heating element works amazing. I’ve found out when it’s on high it really does get quite warm so I typically have it on medium. This jacket isn’t bulky at all yet completely windproof, which I tested downtown Chicago right next to Lake Michigan. I don’t think the battery is too heavy at all. It actually doesn’t bother me one bit. So very happy I purchased this.” – JH
“The packaging is incredible lol. They have a very fancy bag inside the very fancy box that comes in the regular Amazon box. The jacket was folded very nicely with directions directly on top. The battery is actually way smaller than I was expecting. It warms up very fast which is great. And it has a one-button interface which keeps things simple. You cannot tell there are heating units inside even when you run your hands down the inside of the back to feel for them. Not only are the heating elements warming, the jacket itself is well insulated but not bulky. The fabric has a matte feel and will be easy to keep clean.” – ABeck
“I purchased this for my wife because she is always cold. She loves it. The battery pack isn’t big and bulky and inturn the run time isn’t super long as a result but still respectable. I like the ability to charge phones/ect. from the usb port on the battery pack. It’s light, water repellent and it has a hood. The hood was a big deal for me because if your cold or it’s rainy who wouldn’t want a hood right? The kids love turning her coat on for her because it has the light up mode indicator on the outside of the coat. This is noticeable if your running the high mode with red indicator, because she frequently gets asked “Is that a heated coat?”. Overall the coat is excellent and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a heated casual dress coat. If you work outside for a living I’d point you more towards the Milwaukee heated coat or something similar.” – Tom Anderson
You can snag your very own heated jacket (or one for your very cold friend) on Amazon for $149.99 and stay toasty all winter long.

1. This Air Cork that conveniently preserves wine for those who can’t finish the whole bottle.
Promising Review: “So far so good. Used w,1 bottle. Had to add a pump after 1 day then later 3 more. Drank the rest yummmm Love that you can see if still sealed! I have now used for almost a year…every bottle has stayed fresh. It is now my favorite gift to give. EVERYBODY needs one!” – C Bittner
Promising Review: “Best idea I had to buy this. It blocks out the light on flights and car rides. It fits as tight as you wish around your neck by adjusting the hood ropes. Felt extremely comfortable although may look a little silly. Slept over 5 hours on a international flight.” – Renee
Promising Review: “My wife and I really enjoy this little beer dispenser. Heck, my wife wouldn’t even drink beer from a bottle or can until we purchased this fizzics machine. The design is truly unique, the beer tastes great, and better yet it’s the closest thing that will make your beer taste like draft other than draft from an actual keg!” – LeVan’s
Promising Review: “This is by far the COOLEST gadget I have purchased in some time. I had no idea it was so big…..which is actually great, and it is an aromatherapy diffuser on top of it? WIN WIN, holy cow….came as a huge surprise how high of a quality it is! It reminded me of opening my iPhone!” – AMZ Customer
Promising Review: “I bought this pan for my hubby because there can never be enough brownie corner pieces. This pan makes him very happy! It makes me happy because it’s a sturdy, heavy duty pan. Its nonstick surface is amazing–brownies don’t stick at all. One thing to note is that the brownies are a little thinner than they are in my 8×8 pan when we make the Ghiradelli brownie mix. We have not tried to use two mixes instead of one yet. Worth the $!” – L. Hart
Promising Review: “First time Spikeballers and we are addicted!!! Fun for all ages and levels. We’ve played with 5 yrs old to 65 yrs old. Even a pregnant mom. Easy to take apart and pack up. We just ordered the ProBalls and the Glow in the dark Balls. Proballs are a little heavier and easy to control. Glow in the dark so the adults can play once the kids are in bed. GREAT GAME!!” – Falcon Cosby
Promising Review: “I originally saw this on Shark Tank and thought it was a good idea. I have purchased at least 50 different pain relief and massage tools over the years and most don’t do much or you can’t easily hold the item in place to get relief. But this is amazing. Everyone that has tried it, including my niece with Lupus and my massage therapist can’t believe how great it is. It can take pain away in minutes. In love! You will not be disappointed and you do not need to have arm strength to use. Simple instructions.” – PrincessandBuddiesMom
Promising Review: “Great for wiping your bass on the go and for hiking. They make it kind of personal with the sayings though: something like “it’s a way of life”. I’m just trying to effectively shut in the woods not join a club.” – Amazon Customer
Promising Review: “After 5 minutes you can feel the burn!! I am a big guy in the process of shrinking and this exercise is easy to do. I turn on the tv and twist for about 15 min a day. My only complaint is my pants are too big now…” – Ben C.
Promising Review: “Great item. Used it on a camping trip at about 12,000 feet, after a long day of hiking. Worked great in rain (and some hail). Puts out a lot of light and is easy to manage (just put the cover back on) and is easy to light.” – Sara Wilhelm
