When my niece got married last year my brother-in-law, her dad, took her and her fiance aside separately and had an old-fashioned talk with them. One of the things he told them, and which he used in his speech, is that if you can put up with each other's irritating habits over the years then you will be all right. I thought about it and realised he is right. When you have been together a long time an initially adorable mannerism, or way of talking, can become a huge irritant later on and you have to find a way of living with it.
