Well, these have worked for us for about 41 years now so I offer them for what they're worth. Probably the biggest thing of all ... we accept each other for who we are and not for what we'd like the other to be.

But ... a couple of things that might help ...

1. If you're going to argue ... and you will sometimes ... "fight naked." It's hard to stay angry in the buff and it helps with the making up process..
2. Be forgiving ... one of the best lessons. During dating we never notice the little things that can drive us crazy later. Very similar to my first comment.
3. A great marriage takes work. It's not a 50-50 thing ... it's a 100-100 thing (or a little more).
4. Oh yeah ... feelings are neither right nor wrong ... they're just feelings.

Sure hope that everything good will flow your way!
