Divorce is never an option. We laugh alot. I want to be treated like a King so I treat her like a Queen. Love notes, little gifts, doing things together, holding hands when we walk, lots of touching, phone calls everyday from work, never spending a night apart in 25 years, prayer.

You must learn to trust your mate. You can't control what others think, feel, or do but only your own actions. If a mate wants to wonder then he will no matter where he is so there isn't any point in becoming paranoid about what he "might" do. Just deal with it if it comes up.
TRUST TRUST TRUST
Be willing to compromise. Remember that being "right" isn't always the best reason to be stubborn.
Be friends with each other and laugh together alot.
Keep your marriage private and don't share details with friends.
If you have a problem or are unhappy then discuss it with your mate not another man who is your "friend".

Well, I've been going out with my boyfriend for a year, and I must say we've made it through alot. I think what makes our bond so strong is that we trust each other and are always honest with each other. I hardly think of my boyfriend- he's truly my BEST friend- ever.
You should be able to tell them everything after after a few months of going out. Trust, honesty, etc. You'll need some tolerance too- things don't always go too well, but for the most part they should. However, if you feel times are more often bad than good, or that he's abusing you in some way- it's time to say good bye.
Good Luck!

Dont argue about the small things in life.
The more you put in the more you get out..
Marriage is not a contest where the one who can impose their will on the other wins.
Both need some interests outside the home.
Unless you marry you, there will be things the other does that drive you crazy.
Keep the bedroom thing going.
Dont let the kids become the only thing you do together.

People have a tendency to forget that your partner/boyfriend should be your best friend. This is the person that you need to be able to tell anything, to trust them with anything, to be able to hold similar interests. You need to keep an ongoing friendship with them so that it never gets boring, you dont fight for the wrong reasons, and that you can love each other completely. You need to honor that person above all else and they to you. You need to give yourself completely as they must do for you. In a happy relationship, there is no holding back. Make them first in your life and if they do the same for you, that will spring up everything else you'll ever need.

Both parties need to realize that they will never change the other person. That is where most marriages fail.
Communicate openly. Know when to drop the gloves and fight, and when to just drop it.
A marriage is like a country it has to have check and balances and divide labor. Make the divisions clear early.
Don't try to read the other persons mind or assume they can read yours. I wouldn't wish that skill on anybody.

Communication is one of the key along with honesty, trust, respect, patience and understanding. Also, learn how to fight fairly and rationally and let go of your egos to always be right all the time. Don't sweat the small stuff and if u can't agree on one thing, learn to compromise.
Spend as much time together doing the things u both love but also learn to give each other space when wanting to do your own thing.

Jesus Christ keep Him first in your marriage and the marriage will be blessed. Marriage is alot of hard work both parties have to give and take for a marriage to last. Read 1 Corn. 13:3-9 these verses will give you the definition of what love is. Also my wife and myself have been married for 21 years and we still love each other as much as the day we got married. Really, you have to keep Jesus Christ first in both of your lives. GOD BLESS

I hope that I can help!
I'd say, lot's of patience, understanding and accepting of things.
The Marriage will never be all roses! It will seem (at times) like a mistake!
But! After almost 20 years; I can say that it's Always a give and take and Constant Growing period!!
Good luck/God Bless!

If I knew I'd bottle it and sell it. Don't we all wish we knew the secret to a happy marriage or relationship. Unfortunately this secret changes on a case by case basis.
