Have you ever wondered "what is the secret to a long and happy marriage?" Our collection of tried and true marriage advice tips will help you answer that very question! These secrets to a happy marriage come straight from the horse's mouth -- those who are happily married!
Never assume.
Compliment more than you criticize.
For each time you vent about your husband/wife to your friends, tell three positive stories.
Remember that it is ok to do things differently (e.g. there is more than one way to peel a potato or fold the laundry).
Always make time for the two of you.
Marry someone that you enjoy listening and talking to.
Remember that marriage is sometimes a bed of roses and sometimes there are thorns.
Remember that the best gift that you can give your children is to love their mother/father.
Be fair! Split the housework, spending money, etc evenly. This way you are never resentful of your partners contributions (or lack of) or expenditures.
Never go to bed angry. (Unless it's 3a.m. and you're exhausted, angry, and not thinking straight.)
Remember that people do fight. It's how you do it that matters.
Before starting an argument, consider if it's really worth it.
Fight naked. ;)
Agree to disagree.
Never, ever mention the "D" word (divorce).
Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?
Respect each other's privacy.
Remember that "love is like childhood. You need to learn to share."
Marriage is not 50/50, it's two people giving 100/100 all of the time.
Surprise each other now and then.
The secret to a happy marriage is two TV's!
Have date night!
Never pass up an opportunity to say "I love you".
Hold hands.
Hug & kiss every day (several times a day actually!).
Always believe that you got better than you deserved.
Be quick to say "I'm sorry".
Choose the one you love, then love the one you choose.
Keep the in-laws out of your marriage!
Love isn't always a feeling, it's a decision.
Hang in there. It's worth it.
Play nice, play often, love much.
Never air your dirty laundry as a couple in public.
Never keep secrets from each other.
Be each other's champion. No matter what, take your husband or wife's side first!
Communication is the key!
Always respect each other.
Never underestimate the power of a good belly-laugh and don't be afraid to laugh at yourself.
It's the little things that matter most.
Never use the words 'Always' and 'Never' in a fight.
It's ok to argue, but never use curse words to express your anger.
Never compare your marriage to others. What you see on the outside is not always what it is on the inside.
Don't make love in the same place/position everytime. Variety is the spice of life!

A person I admire says that to be happy in your marriage, you need to always kindle the fire and do the things that will make your partner happy. It always comes with sacrifices and efforts but it's all worth it. Thank you so much for your tips and great advice. I came across a video that also shares great relationship advice like you do. It's about the word that we must avoid to strengthen our relationship. http://marieforleo.com/2011/01/im-sorry/

We r married for 5 years now, but my husband doesn't feel comfortable sharing his bank accounts, mails, passwords with me. I feel I have been pushed to the the fringes of our relationship. He gets mad if I open his mail. He won't add me to his bank account; he thinks it is unimportant and accuses me as control freak. I am hurt, I share everything with him. I have no problem sharing anything and everything about my life with him.
He also thinks he should never share with me the business decisions he is making at work, even by mistake and he is very cautious about that...I don't care about his business decision, but he explicitly said that makes me wonder my role in his life. I can't even log in to his laptop, he thinks privacy is import. He is very traditional and workaholic and of course short tempered. I am trying to work out my marriage, but, I am confused and keeps asking myself: Who Am I in this house?
