Ditto Tacota. My grandmother gave my mother that advice, and she passed it on to me. Excellent advice indeed.
Also, when you're having an argument, stop and ask yourself, "Am I really listening or am I just waiting to talk?" If you're waiting to talk, you're not really hearing the other person. This has stopped many arguments cold and brought us to a much quicker resolution. As a result, we rarely fight anymore.
We've been married 3 years, but together over 10.

Best advice.....
That a marriage is never 50/50. That one always has to cover for the other sometimes it will be 49/51. Or if one spouse is really down then it could be more like 30/70. Either way it evens out. When my husbands down, I am there for him, and when I am down, he picks me up. My husband is 3 1/2 years younger than me. And yes, at first it was a huge deal. But, now I feel as if he is older than me, because I look up to him so much. I have been married to him for 2 1/2 years. My first husband was 6 years older than I, and I was married to him for 12 years. I never looked up to him as I do my husband now.

Well let me think here it think it is to only change yourself and what you do and how you act and not try changing your husband or spouse.I learned this a while a go and it is one of the best things i have learned to do and to apply to my marriage. Unconditional love is key. Been married for going on 8 years not and together going on nine. Best marriage i have ever had and would not change it for anything. We are happily married and it gets stronger and grows each and every day and year that we are together.

The best advice I ever got while I was married was to get divorced! I did. And no I'm happy...I had the wrong guy. Now I have been happy with my current man for about 10 years! No advice there...just follow your heart!

First time around 91/2 years - He passed away. Second time around 1 year.....The key is acceptance....Accept them for who they are - warts, fungus and all. Pray for the things that you can't and watch God go to work for you.

Never tell your mother (family) about fights at home with your husband. Because you might forgive him, but she (they) never will.
That advice came from my mother.

Praying together is a very good way of connecting and remaining close. Its creates assurance and stability.
It keeps my wife emotionally stable. It takes away all of her insecurities.
