They say never go to bed angry, listen to each other, etc... But with my 7 years of marriage, 12 years being together if we have something silly that has to be figured out that neither one of us want to do at the time but knows it HAS to be done we play rock paper scissors!! Simple as who is going to mow the lawn or go grocery shopping... If you lose rock paper scissors YOU HAVE TO DO whatever we played for in the first place!! It makes us laugh and is something unique to our marriage. What is something cute and fun you do to make your marriage last and stay interesting???

Me and my husband have know each other for almost more then 8 years and only been married for 2 of them. I don't think there is anything cute that we do to keep our marriage going outside of that we fight with each other like a very old marry couple and yet even when we are angry or upset with each other that love and passion for each other is always there. Out of no where we both can start saying lines from the same movies like we can read each other minds some times.

fighting in a relationship can be healthy at times as long as you still love each other like you said you do!!! My husband quotes movies ALL THE TIME and i don't watch movies too often, but it seems like I know all of the funny lines because of him lol

We do love each other wise i wouldn't be with him. That happens. Me and my husband don't always like the same movies or watch the same ones but the ones we have in common we the best lines from them and will repeat them to each other all of the time. There is one from the 10th Kingdom and Princess Bride that we do a bit one.

I've lost the funny things in my marriage. My marriage, full of tension, because some of the problems we face. All becomes complicated, and sometimes, my marriage, it becomes a heavy burden for me.

:( That is sad... Is it worth saving and working on bringing back the funny things that made you fall in love with the person in the first place???

Everything was buried, by all the problems that exist. Although, now there is little change in direction is good, but I still do not know, whether there will be something good.

Well, we are having our 4th year anniversary this July but we are in love for 9 years by then. Our marriage had been tested once and after that the marriage became stronger. We are best friends that is why everything seems so easy but not all. There are times we don't agree with but I am really lucky that I have an understanding husband. I never see him get mad. We always do things together, even brush together especially in the morning. He will never forget to put a toothpaste on my toothbrush. Also he will not eat when I am still not around, and vice versa. Apart from this, we are blessed with an adorable son so we can't ask for more.

Awww that is cute!!! Being tested sounds like it worked out for the best for you!!! A best friend is what your spouse should be :)

Well,i hear this from a radio program and it said that we need to learn how to forgive and just remember communication would always be the most important.And also,try to think different ways to make your marriage fresh.With more creativity.I suppose this is gonna work in the relationship.

We try to find a few new things neither of us have tried and do it together each year. Like climb a mountain, sky dive etc... And forgiving is VERY important we all make mistakes. Just being honest about what we do and learn that no one is perfect means everything

hi, Very funny to listen but at the same time very interesting to know how you are deciding to work. It differs from a person to a person. The same thing will not be implemented or successful every where. Everybody has his own ideas to work out. Actually the marriage is a mutual understanding, faith on each other and obviously love. If all these three are there then the life is like to be in a heaven which i am enjoying now after celebrating a silver jubilee of my marriage recently.

We have our tensions because of the problems we face, but we also get our giggles every now and then. i think what is important is never to lose touch of each other. Dining or having coffee just the two of us together does help. We cannot do it often because we have a demanding one-year old but we try to have our hour or so at least once a week. Have a nice day!
