Notice how “Intentional” all three couples LISTENED to their spouses while they spoke and gave good eye contact… critical in marriage communication along with close physical touch.

When the sweet woman in pink sweater told her husband that he's the love of her life, I think his face just got redder. After 50+ years of marriage, the spark is still there. Amazing!

“You cannot change someone to fit the mold you want them to be.”
The most powerful thing I’ve heard.

I’ve only been married 36 years but I think what makes a lasting happy marriage is being good forgivers

[janarealbuto]

Marriage takes two good apologizers & two good forgivers. Coupled with love.

My tips after being together for 9 years about to be married:
1. Talk about the hard stuff (money, kids, responsibilities with the house etc.)
2. Be sure you're on the same page when it come to each others families (like respect and boundaries)
3. Compromise, you can either be right, or get what you want you can't have both!
4. Always date each other, go out together, plan new adventures
5. It's good to have a life outside of each other
6. Actions speak louder than words

Nowadays I feel people are looking so badly for that movie romance that they really don’t try in a relationship and think when it’s hard it’s wrong.

Don't give up during the bad times and don't expect your spouse to be perfect.

[zyonamihlar]

“Our marriage hasn’t been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even more times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time”

Excerpt From
All Your Perfects
Colleen Hoover

[thefarmhousegoddess]

Together for 13 years, married for 7. My advice is to 1) Understand and accept that you are with an imperfect person, as you yourself are imperfect. 2) Be the kind of partner that you want for yourself and don't keep score. 3) You cannot change a person, so accept them as they are. Obviously, this doesn't mean to accept abuse or infidelity. Just to accept that they will never be the perfect man or woman and neither will you. 4) Agree that you will both do the best you can to care for each other and hold up your own ends of the partnership and discuss what that means to you before marriage. 5) Real love is not a Disney movie! There will be hard times when you're both stressed and aggravated, hot times when things are sexy and happy go lucky, and bland times when every day is the same, and these times come and go in cycles. 6) Commit to date and court your partner for life. The work isn't done just because you've got them. That's all I got. I believe in marriage and partnership, we're better together. Good luck, everyone.

Best marriage advice I’ve ever heard: “only you and your spouse are in your relationship. So actually it won’t/can’t be like anybody else’s. You two will have to figure that out.”
The no-advice advice. 😂

[LovelyMNGurl]

Advice: Even if you're mad at each other, try to go to bed with each other. Whenever my husband and I argue to the point where I don't even want to talk to him, I still want to go to sleep next to him. In the end we always come back together and we'll talk through our problems and work it out. Also find someone who is willing to fight through the tough battles with you.

My parents have been married for 42 years and ive never seen them hug, kiss, or say i love you to each other. Its refreshing to see older couples still expressing love
