Knowing that love isn't something that happens to us but comes from us Take your H/W as they are accept that the person you married will not change.Be a team player always look out for each other ,have a unified front always.Not becoming complacent Always remember to show your love for each other with touch.Compliments-not criticism.Keep your arguments to yourselves.When their in a bad mood,cranky or grumpy.being defensive,hurt,,blaming, snapping back or( in my case) pouting gets you no where trying to understand why H/W is in a bad mood with compassion does.Let go of having to be right with your loved one save that for someone else if you must (think SH)Don't fight knowing when to shut it down-which is ALWAYS before hurtful things are said.Do special,thoughtful things for each other-everyday.Even the simplest acts of being loving reinforces that they are loved by you.Look forward to just how wonderful you feel when kissing,and making love It's vital to a healthy happy marriage.Never stop saying I Love You and remembering why.
both friendship and emotional intimacy... but also trust, openness, and honesty...
