6. Love and more love.
Love your partner the way they need to be loved, not the way you need to be loved.
7. Be kind.
I’m a divorce attorney and I’ve been married for almost 20 years. Here’s the secret: be the kind of spouse that you would like to have by your side. Forgive the things you would like to be forgiven for and fight for the things that you would like someone to fight for on your behalf. The best way to have a good spouse is to be one.
8. A little space is healthy.
Give each other space and alone time.
If he wants to veg out and play video games for a couple hours let him. If she wants to unwind watching reality tv or reading books, let her. Don’t have to be connected at the hip to have a successful marriage.
