Ronald Reagan on Marriage: Love, Dad

I can't remember where I first picked this piece up but I found it so profound that I wanted to share it with our readers.

Regardless of your political affiliation, Ronald Regan was one of the most polarizing Presidents of our time.  something akin to Bill Clinton but for different reasons as this letter may tell.

It has been well documented in a series of letters and books the relationship that President Regan had with his wife Nancy.  The two shared some type of love and connection that would make any couple envious.

In a letter to his son Michael, the night before he was to marry, the President wrote the following letter courtesy of the website Letters of Note.

  • There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.

In June of 1971, just days before his 26-year-old son, Michael, got married, future-U.S. President Ronald Reagan sent him the following letter of advice. It really is quite stunning.
