"The key to a healthy marriage is to keep your eyes wide open before you wed, and half closed thereafter."
Wisdom from @DrJamesCDobson. He has said it often. And he's been saying it for many years.

I don’t know exactly when he started saying it. But I did find it in a newspaper article from back in 2000.

This particular video has been up on his website since 2015. You can hear him say these words in his own voice. drjamesdobson.org/media/parentin…
He said it during a broadcast just a few months ago. p.widencdn.net/kg09pw/0116201…
And it has been on his social media this year, too. Both facebook and twitter.
But here’s the problem: These aren’t the words of @DrJamesCDobson.
They actually belong to Benjamin Franklin, who wrote them in 1738. vlib.us/amdocs/texts/p…

Look at what happens if you put this ["Keep your eyes wide open before marriage" James Dobson] into Google. He has been saying it long enough and often enough, there is a great deal of confusion over who owns it. google.com/search?source=…
Which is too bad. It appears a large number of people now think this is the wisdom of Dobson instead of Franklin.
It doesn’t have to be difficult, y’all. Just give credit where credit is due.
