I'm reposting a blog from last year because I can't resist a topic that combines Valentine's Day with President's Day. And, as George Washington in one of my favorite people, I'm always willing to pass on advice from his practical pen. Take another look and enjoy!
In honor of Valentine’s Day, shall we turn to the “father of our country” for some good- old- fashioned advice on love and marriage? Washington, of course, had married Martha Custis in part because the attractive young widow inherited her first husband’s fortune. But he also loved the good sense and calm, cheerful nature of his “dear Patsy.”
