Engaged teacher asks first-grade students for their best marriage advice with tearjerking results

They may be young, but first graders have a surprising amount of life wisdom to share. And for a newly engaged first grade teacher Kaylee Abernatha, their insights on what a happy, healthy and loving marriage looks like blew her mind. Abernatha made a simple classroom request of her students: to share their best marriage advice with her and her future husband. It led to some profound feedback. She had her students write answers to a number of different marriage advice prompts on white cards. “I’m getting married June 13 of this year and I wanted to find a way to incorporate my students into my wedding,” she tells Upworthy. “I plan to have these on the guest tables as centerpieces so everyone can enjoy looking at them!” @kaylee_abernatha this was the best idea ever ♬ original sound – € First graders share marriage advice Many students’ responses were influenced by what they see in their parents’ marriages or how they show personally show love. Abernatha shared all of their responses in a sweet three-part response that has the Internet in tears. “The response online has been great and I’m so happy I got to share this with others because it really is the little things that mean the most and it’s easy to forget that when life gets tough and problems become bigger than ‘who stole who’s crayon’,” she tells Upworthy. “I’m glad others are loving my students as much as I did this year.” In the first of three videos, Abernatha began with a mirror selfie, telling her followers to “enjoy this marriage advice from my first graders ,” before adding: “This was the best idea ever.” “I helped them with spelling words since this will be displayed as part of the centerpieces!” she shared in the comments, adding, “It’s their actual handwriting.” @kaylee_abernatha Part 2! ♬ sonido original –
