I would say never let one day's problems or anger--carry over to the next day.
And to adopt the phrase "divorce is not an option."

Just tonight I was telling my sis-in-law to be next month that it is easier to be holy when you're single. When you marry the sanctification process changes. You constantly have to keep the mindset of being sacrificial and think of the other's interests more highly than your own. When you lose sight of that then the flesh comes in and here comes selfishness, out goes selflessness.
The 1st year is easiest than the 'he's only thinking of himself' mindset starts settling in. And that is a battle all its own.
My dear friend who will be 80 on the 4th (I'll be 41 on the 8th) always encourages me to think of the Lord and put my focus on that I'm doing it all for Him. That's the best advice yet hardest to live by.

Make sure before you marry you discuss what you want to do and any ideas that you have for the future, make sure that the person you are marrying respects your ideas even if they differ from your own and that you discuss family options and consider your age for children, after 35 many women have complications in pregnancy. Make sure you meet all family and friends even if they are far away from where you live. make sure your partner has completely severed any ties with ex wives/girlfriends etc, make sure any exes know you are going to be married.
