Never lose the passion for life, yourself and especially for your spouse. I believe passion is the key to a happy life all around. Think about it...if you have nothing you deeply enjoy then why do it or have it in your life??
Live each day as if there will never be another, one day it's going to be true...

My mum always taught me that there are 9 rules for a happy marriage...
1. Never be angry at the same time
2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire
3. If one of you has to win an argument, let it be the other one
4. If you have to criticize, do it lovingly
5. Never bring up mistakes of the past
6. Neglect the whole world, rather than one another
7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled
8. At least once everyday, try to say one complimentary thing to your partner
9. When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness

Hi! I'm married 24 yrs. and happy. First--work at staying together instead of leaving when the feeling is gone. Feelings have nothing to do with long marriage. You must will to love even when things are ruff. Next---don't expect too much, keep balanced. Don't expect a man to feel like a women etc. Laugh as much as possible. Learn to cook. Educate yourself in relationships and sexual habits. Get to know yourself and what pet peeves you have and can't live with. Be honest and treat your spouse like you treat your friends. Honor that spouse every day. Touch alot. Smile alot. Don't use more than 3 minutes to vent your anger. Don't go to bed angry. Have a budget and keep to it. Look to please instead of wanting to be pleased. Make your spouse more important than your friends and family. Love your spouse more than your children. Spend quality time together alone. And find a similar spirituality. Looks and feelings change---you must be smart and assertive. Good Luck to you!

Funny since I just answered a mistress question. Maybe be more like a mistress. But seriously, I think people need to communicate well and be nice to each other. They shouldn't stop being polite just because they've been together for a long time. If they find themselves taking each other for granted, spend some time apart so they can miss each other. Continue to do romantic things for/with each other that they did for each other in the beginning. Be best friends, but have an exciting sex life with each other.

First know that marriage is not going to be easy.It's a beautiful thing though.You have to have trust,respect,and faith in each other.You have to compromise,and want to make it work.You cannot give up during 'trying' times,and you will have trying times.Remember love is unconditional,we are all human,and prone to make mistakes.Pray and keep faith in God,and you will be just fine.Good luck,and I hope this helps.

Be respectful to your spouse even when you disagree. Do not try to change your spouse. You are the only person you can change. If you respond positively to your spouse, even in an argument it will keep the problem from escalating. Love your spouse in the way they want to be loved not the way you want to be loved.

By working at it just as hard as you do to have success in anything but with a lot of sacrifices, patience, endurance and forgiveness and also showing deep love because we reap what we sow.

put each other in Jesus shoes :
1Cor 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
