Secrets to a Successful Marriage
Respect each other and each other's feelings. The sanctity of any marriage lies in giving respect. Even children learn to give respect when they see their parents respecting each other.- Successful couples know that, however much love there is, marriage can bring this trapped feeling. They encourage each other not to be always 'us', to take 'me' time, to have 'me' hobbies and even 'me' friends. This way, each partner brings individuality in to the marriage, keeping it fresh and alive.
- Listen to one another and give each other a chance to voice his/her opinion. Do not interrupt and contradict when one is speaking and try to find solutions to problems together all the time. Solve each small problem as it arises. Keep communication lines open and let your spouse know that you are willing to discuss matters.
- Share your feelings in regular talk sessions. A nice atmosphere in a good restaurant helps open the doors to intimacy and sharing. Really listen to your partner. Be sure to look directly into the eyes of your loved one.

Decide on how you can divide the job fairly in terms of cleaning, laundry, dishes, meal preparation, etc. Support each other and live as true partners.
- Keep the sparkle in your marriage by remaining passionate about your partner. Sometimes the spark can disappear out of a marriage… With a little passion you CAN bring it back, or if not you can create another different spark… Passion works wonders.

- Keep a mental list of qualities you admire in your spouse, whether it's his goofy sense of humour, his integrity or his manly forearms. "Fondness and admiration are the perfect antidotes to contempt," says Gottman. If you're tempted to find fault during an argument, "Look for evidence that your partner is getting it right." Ask him to do the same for you.
- In successful marriages, love is characterized by the notions of variety and spice. Successful marriages are exciting, never boring, and full of unpredictable things. Don’t always do that which is predictable. Upend expectancies. Variety is the spice of life!
