Advice to the newly weds

Four weeks ago my nephew was married in Seattle.  At the rehearsal luncheon the day before the wedding my brother (the father of the groom) gave the soon to be married couple some words of warning about sleeping together - not sex, actually sleeping together.  He first noted that the lovely warm blanket that used to reach all the way to the floor on both sides of the bed only ever covers one person after you're married.  He also mentioned that it's a mystery to all men why their wives soak their feet in icewater for 10 minutes before they come to bed. I'm not sure how well these words of wisdom went over with the bride and groom but every person at the luncheon who had ever been married understood exactly what he was talking about.
