Argue about everything BUT money.

You will find you have nothing to argue about.

Find something like a hobby BOTH of you can do together.
For us, it is going to theme parks and movies.

Combine your income to pay the bills. Separate accounts does not work. And one person handling the bills ONLY does not work either.

Put each other FIRST. Parents come SECOND. Friends come THIRD. You did not marry your spouse's parents. And your friends are not paying the bills.

NEVER do anything that could cause problems for the other. GUYS, that means DO NOT buy expensive toys before you discuss it FIRST with your wife. LADIES, stop telling your husband "I wish we lived in a bigger house, owned a nicer car, had higher incomes, etc." BOTH OF YOU; be thankful for what you have, plan for what you do not have, and stop dreaming about things you can never have.

Being able to say your sorry. Telling her you love her everyday. Never leaving the house with out giving her a kiss. A note at the kitchen table to remind her that she is the most important thing in your life. When a hot girl walks by you squeeze your girl harder. Now in return She has to touch my unit on a regular basis. When I get home from work at least a half an hour of her not going into a three hour story of how her friend from work got a bad hair cut. Making dinner every once in a while. I mean a good dinner not some box dinner. I think guys have to do that to so I do that when I get a chance but mostly touch my unit.

Comunication in a constuctive manner.Learning not to fight over small stuff, always talking about special moments you both had together. Balancing alone time , couple time and friend time. Not taking one another for granted. Remembering that when times get rough to look to God for strength and not each other's because it will eventually wear you both out. Not saying that you can't be supportive of each other, but divine help makes a huge difference.Just remember you cannot not have love without trust and you cannot trust without love. ssh don't tell anybody =)

you work at it, compromise and learn to listen and observe when things dont seem right. Ive been married for 18 years and no it hasnt always been good. But you muddle through the bad and learn from your mistakes. if he or she treats you in a manner you dont care for then step up and not be afraid to say so. Same goes with both people. another thing is learn to tell your parents and siblings... its your marriage and not to interfere. You and your spouse are the only ones who can make it work... you can get advice from any one and everyone but it is the two of you who have to decide if your marriage is worth keeping or not.

Compromise...and never go to bed angry. The little things will eat you alive. And last but not least....your spouse has to be your best friend as well.

Love, compatibility, honesty, compassion, and friendship. And most of all communication. Without that there is allot of problems. Plus make time for one another---

OMG I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!!!

Being blissfully married to your best friend, the man who can do things around the house for you, the man who can clean up baby slobber, the man who can put a bandaide on your finger, Someone to share everythign with, same bank accounts, going on dates under the moon.

Do yourself a favor. You are the only one who can make yourself as happy as me, Take your time, be a good person, work on yourself and you'll be able to weed out the rest.!!!

in my opinion don't let your minds get corrupted by what most of thesicko's in the world have to offer.you should have gotten married because you were in love and commited to that one and only. ALWAYS remember that!
