Moms aren't the only ones we look to for sound, sensible love advice. Dads -- though perhaps slightly overprotective at times -- also know a thing or two about finding and maintaining the right relationship.
In honor of Father's Day, we asked our readers to tell us the very best love and relationship wisdom their dads have imparted to them.
