A marriage is a work in progress through life, since people continue to grow and change. The key is to be willing to do things to take care of one another, not because it is NEEDED, but because having caring behaviors is what makes life so good.
Tips for Marriage
1. Know your partner's personality. (It is okay to be different.)
2. Show goodwill and ask questions rather than assuming the worst.
3. Don't allow yourself to be harsh/mean to your partner, even when you are tired. Control your behaviors.
4. Speak up for what you want.
5. Don't say "yes" just to get your partner off your back. Be honest about your feelings.
6. Use conflict resolution tools to help be respectful.
7. Take time to understand money matters. Create a family budget. Discuss how it is going. It is okay to ask questions.
8. Play together regularly, laugh and have fun. Create dates. Be romantic.
9. Create traditions that you do every day, every week, every year. These are the life-blood of relationships.
10. Be committed through the hills and valleys of marriage.
