I think you should always put the other person first. If you put him first, and he puts you first, then each of you is always first with someone. ( does that make any sense?lol) Also, I try to think when I'm angry about something, is it really worth it? I mean is it something that bothers me enough to start a argument. I always try to wait at least an hour or so, that gives me time to settle down, and clear my head. I think the biggest thing to keeping a marriage working through the years is having fun. When I see my grandma laughing because my Grandpa is playful teasing her, or when he walks by here he puts his hand on her shoulder or gives her a kiss on the forehead, It melts my heart. I know you cant always have fun, marriage takes hard work, patience and understanding. But always try to remember what made your heart jump that first time you knew you were in love with them, and hold that close to your heart.

Respect, a whole lot of communication, & work. All along the way, remember what you did when you dated your wife... & take her out on dates 2-3 times a month or so. Communication is vital for any marriage, & it takes a whole lot of work. If a problem arises & you deal with it then & there, come to some kind of compromise & make sure you both are understanding... then you'll have a great time. A huge thing is both of you need to keep work at work, & home at home. It makes for a better relationship if the outside stressors are kept outside. Both of you should find some way to de-stress after work as well. Be it at the local gym or whatever. It helps to release the negativity that can come with work. Have fun! :)

Never get lazy!!! You have to get up every moring just as committed, if not more too making the marriage work as you were the day before. Never stop courting your wife. One of the biggest mistakes men and women make is that they think that now that they are married they don't have to try to attract their mate anymore. The stuff that gets you together in the first place is the stuff that keeps you together. Women should still dress up for them men at least every once in a while, buy a sexy out fit specifically cause you want to knock his socks off, and guys remember all that stuff that you did to get her attention? Keep doing it. Take her out to dinner, buy her jewlery and flowers, make her feel special and tell her too.

Number one on the list is communication. Don't be afraid to communicate with each other, even though u think the subject isn't important enough to talk about. Give each other respect, understanding and patience, honesty and trust and never take each other for granted. When u argue, learn how to fight fairly. Most importantly, learn how to compromise. Don't fight about stupid little things that won't matter tomorrow.
Spend as much time doing things u both love but give each other space when wanting to do your own thing. Be each other's best friend and confidante. And last but not least, don't forget to laugh together. Remember, u are each other's equal. Treat each other according to how u both want to be treated.

You each decide that the marriage will last forever and each of you will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
It takes 2 people wanting to have a good and happy marriage.

You can't plan it. You can only do what's right and hope the other person does the same. Good luck.
