    Never stop trying to win the love of your spouse. Marriage takes work. Don't get complacent. Try to woo your love with the same intensity as when you first fell in love.

    Wow, I didn't read through all of these (no time) but it's good to see that some people - including men! - actually get it. Marriage takes effort by both parties, and if both people aren't willing to work at keeping it together, it falls apart.

    "Never let your husband leave the house with an empty stomach and full balls".

    Terribly sexist. But the person who said it has been happily married for 35 years...

    Never heard this before but I love it. :heart: :heart: SO true.

    If men are really this difficult, that you have to attend to their needs so assiduously, why is it worthwhile to have one for keeps?

    My advice is useless since I am divorced... but here is my 2 cents anyway: Humor, sex and honesty.

    Decide if you would rather be happy or you'd rather be right. Sometimes you can have both, but usually being happy trumps being right for me.

    This.

    Choose not to fight. Every one does things that are irritating. No two people will agree on everything. No one will do things the way they were done in your family of origin. It doesn't matter how the dishwasher gets loaded or the laundry gets done. Choose to be on the same team instead of being in competition.

    .
    ...........The other day I woke up in the morning, long after my partner had gone to work in the dark hours of the day. I put on a cup of coffee and went to weigh myself (as is my routine) and my scale wouldn't work. The digital display was glowing a bit, but it couldn't read it, so I flipped on the bathroom light to see what was going on

    the display had been covered up by a piece of paper that read "PERFECT" (my profile picture now).

    Those little things keep "the spark" alive.



    AWWWWWWWW> LOVE THIS

    Marry in haste, repent at leisure. I know so many people who got married right after high school, and they are divorcing now. not pretty.

    Make time for each other, and say yes. Yes to the stupid things, like the party at his annoying friend's house, or to getting a puppy, or to going on a spur of the moment trip. It is too easy to find yourself saying "no" more often than not.

    I also agree with whoever said not to let yourself go, be it a man or woman. Not because the other person won't find you sexy, but because it can change how you view yourself. I know that I didn't like myself as much when I gained 25lbs, and it made me insecure and grumpy. My beloved still found me perfect, but I had such a hard time accepting it, and it took a toll on our relationship. We made it through just fine, but I still think it is important.

    Cheat

    Yep.. this is why I'd rather slit my wrists and bleed to death, a slow death in fact instead of getting married to a man that feels cheating is the best way to stay married. :angry:

    Best tip someone gave me -- Never fall out of love with eachother at the same time. I didn't understand it back then, but now 15yrs later I get it.

    Don't let the sun go down on your anger: Settle any real fight before you go to sleep.

    Also, make date-nights a regular occurance. Otherwise, once life gets in the way, the romance is lost.

    This, and also love them unconditionally....even when they leave the seat up and the cap off the toothpaste! Been married 15 years and I hope to have him 100 more!! :)

    Live each day doing something special for your partner to make him or her feel loved without worrying about what it is you might or might not get in return.

    Marriage is simply a give and take. You`d better give it to her or she`ll take it anyway :tongue:

    My grandma used to say

    'What's right is more important than who's right'

    That being said she, she slept around a lot.
