Keep the fire burning! Even if you are already married, take some time off to be alone with your partner. Go on dates. Plan new activities that both of you can participate. Keep the relationship interesting. Communicate and compromise. In any relationship, communication plays a vital role. It doesn't mean that you only talk but as important as talking, listening to your partner's sentiments is important too. Your partner should know what is bothering you because your partner is not a mind reader. I think there is no problem that cannot be solved without sitting down and talking about it. Be generous with compliments. Any person would like to be appreciated for their efforts. A thank you for a good meal, or a kiss will really warm your partner's heart. When everything seems not to go well, remind yourself why you fell in love with your partner in the first place.

The ingredients of marriage to be strong must followed those specifically describe on the laws of God and laws of men. That in the laws of men says: Husband and wife must have mutual love, mutual respect and support as their obligation. If those three words are not follow...just consider also the commandments of God, about marriage... There must be a constant communication between them...

Base on the history of my parents which they strongly uphold their marriage until my mom passed away. I never heard my parents quarrel each other infront of us. My parents is my idol. They are the best couple I saw. Even they are old already but still the sweetness of their relationship still there. The best thing a couple should consider, both of them should have trust and most of the time open communication.
