Dear Ann Landers,
I've learned a lot from your column. The most valuable bit of advice was the counsel given by my grandmother when I married. It was this: "Don't look for perfection in your mate. You will not find it. And it's just as well. Living with a saint can be tiresome. Learn the wisdom of compromise. It is better to bend a little than to break." -- Norfolk, Va., Reader

Dear Va.,
Words of wisdom not only for newlyweds, but for all of us. Remember them.
