    Don’t sweat the small stuff…have fun…be each other’s boyfriend/girlfriend. If you treat each other as if you were dating then love never dies and everyone always tries to please the other. It really is the little things that mean so very much

    1. Communication…. Open and honest communication. (Tact too)

    2. Trust and faithfulness… Cheating and lies wont do anything but hurt both parties…

    3. Unconditional love… You married this person with all their faults… So, any you knew of before marriage, you can’t really complain about… NOW, if there are new ones… then that is where number 1 comes in…

    4. Be patient… REALLY… Really… really patient…

    Get the book “Nonviolent Communication” by Marshall Rosenberg.
    It has made my relationship sing.
    another good one is “Getting the love you want”
    The key is communication, understanding, listening. you have to take the time to understand each other. You have to be honest with what’s going on with you, since any kind of deception (like pretending you are happy) will ruin a relationship in the long run. You have to search your heart and not do anything you are not willing to do because resentment will destroy your relationship. And the great part is that if only one person gets better communication skills the relationship improves greatly – both don’t have to do it.
    just remember: things are changing all the time
    i’m very happy in a 9-yr relationship, and the nonviolent communication skills, in my opinion are the key. also maintaining yourself – i have my own meditation practice that keeps me ok so i can be an ok partner.

    Sometimes my husband can be a real **** and I usually baby him and am super nice at those times. When I am a crazy PMS monster he does the same. I think like sometimes you just have to be the bigger person. Also when we fight we might scream the meanest things for a few minutes, then in a half an hour we act like it never happened. Also he is the most important person and thing in my life and I think it goes both ways. And in marriage you have to have a sense of humor! Just my crazy marriage that’s what works.

    Patience, Respect, Compromise, Affection, Understanding. (and a lot of sex, lol)

    Each person needs something different. For example, I really like affection, but my husband-not so much. So, I have to be patient, and thankful for the times he does share it with me. At the same time, I’m an only child, so compromise…not as easy for me. ; )

    Trial and error…time…all factors in how you make things work. But..that’s not to say that its always easy. Marriage is HARD work, it really is. There’s never a right answer–
