    Sometimes you have to lose a battle in order to win the war.

    Never solicit for anyone else's advice, all it does it make you realize what you DON'T have regardless of whether it's good for you or not.

    Remember that everyone is different, everyone has different thresholds of what's ok and what's not.

    NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER look or understand what other people "have". You will always bring that home and create resentment with it.

    Remember that no single moment in your life is more important than your marriage. Hold your tongue. Think about it. Let it go.
  • I find that communication is key. Both partners need to keep the channels of communication clear. This way both will better understand each other and will know what needs to be addressed right away. This means spending TIME together.

    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.

    When your spouse is making you crazy and you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . laugh. Because your stupid **** is just as annoying.
  • Learn two phrases:

    Yes Dear

    You're Right

    And don't sound even the slightest bit sarcastic when you say them.

    He uses both lines on me when im tieing him to the bed post, our safe word is "i love you."

    Don't ever be afraid to share your thoughts, no matter how wrong or hurtful they might be. If you can't be that honest with each other you will develop secrets/grudges/jealousy/issues over time, and no secret is free...not now or ever. There is always some cost at some point.

    Don't be afraid to grow in different directions, or be afraid to give someone room to grow.

    I truly believe in keeping bodily functions to yourself. Leave some mystery in the relationship.

    Always look at what you have, not what you don't. The grass is never greener on the other side. It is just different grass.

    Stay healthy for each other and remain a positive influence for them, and for yourself.

    Health is the greatest gift.
    Contentment is the greatest wealth.
    Faithfulness the best relationship.

    Regular, quality blow jobs. They pretty much can't argue with anything after that.

    Stay friends, but continue to have your own life.

    This. I get really annoyed when partners live in each others pockets.

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

    I'm sorry, I disagree. This is some of the worst marriage advice out there. Sometimes, when it's 11pm and you're both exhausted, hashing it out when you're so tired you can't think straight, let alone come to an agreement, and both parties get progressively angrier and more frustrated, it's best to just sleep on it and deal with it in the morning.

    Every single fight I've had with my husband that we went to bed angry, we both woke up better, not even remembering why were got so mad in the first place. Then we'd both just apologize, kiss, and move on.

    So ABSOLUTELY go to bed angry! Sometimes it's the best way to just get it out of your system.

    Sometimes you have to lose a battle in order to win the war.

    It sucks that you view marriage as "winning" and "losing". That's sad. Even when you're fighting, when you love someone, that's always a win.
  • Treat your spouse like you don't deserve them so you're doing everything you can to keep them.

    I'm not terribly good at marriage.

    But maybe...

    Be as honest with each other as possible, specifically over money and personal issues.
