Not only that communication is key but trying to truly understand each other with a calm mindset.

i feel like so many couples get into these arguments and say things they don't mean cause they get so heated.

you gotta calm down, sift thru your own thoughts and emotions maturely first, listen to what they gotta say, and then formulate a mature answer that has solutions that are effective for the both of you.

Compromise. And to remember even during an argument or a rough patch, that it's a commitment and not something to walk away from.

I learned to have patience with my spouse and learning to adapate to him. I feel with patience you grow and can go through everything together. It allows you to be understanding and compatible ...

1. Loyal & Trust
2. Respect & Tolerance
3. Forgive & Learn
Love is the base from those above. That’s my marriage principles

Sex..... lots and lots of sex..... plus what everyone else said😅😅😅

View Quoted Comment Sex is essential, married or not. Everyday or bye🤣

View Quoted Comment Essential yes, but when your married, people tend to get lazy and comfortable hence the divorce rate for cheating couples😂😂😂😂 So sex... lots and lots of good kinky sex. Trust me, 11 years together and 4 and a half years of marriage. All that other stuff is out the window if the sex is trash🤷🏾‍♀️

View Quoted Comment We are almost 23 years legally married. Trust me, lazy or busy with sex, depends on individual. I am lucky my dh is in the same page and we do it almost every single day, even when I have my time of the month, and even after c section 🙊 We just love it and we do it as often as we could, and variety of sex is also essential! Only the same way is soooo dead boring to me.


Call us sex addicts, but we call it love and bonding.

View Quoted Comment Yessssss, sis🥰🥰❤❤❤

It’s cliche because it’s true and it helps so much. Love is patient, love is kind. Love keeps no record of wrongs. I tell myself this when I am feeling frustrated and it always works.

Not married yet but we always try and make each other laugh and take time out of each day to enjoy each others company.

I agree with everyone who posted but I wanted to add is to uplift your partner. So far I been hyping my husband of how good looking he is, how he is such a great dad and how much I appreciate him. So telling your partner small positive things than can lift his/ her spirits are awesome and makes him/ her appreciate it so pretty much loving on each other but not to the point of being clingy or doing too much but from time to time❤️

Not married yet, but from observing good couples: humility is key. Making your marriage happy is more important than being right all the time or protecting your ego. So just apologize when you're wrong and be quick to forgive if you are wronged.

Listening.

In the months after we got married, DH started getting SUPER testy in public, teetering into nasty.

I had been poking him about it for a bit, because there's his New Yorker-ness, and then there was this. One day, it boiled over, and I was so upset by it, I quite literally walked back home and locked the door.

This shocked him so much, it made him listen and think to what I had been saying, and he realized he needed to talk through some things with his therapist.

It also made us both realize we needed to remember to listen to each other when one of us says, "something is wrong." Even if we don't know what is wrong, yet, we have been together long enough to feel when things are off.
