This is easier said than done, but we stuck to our agreement and have witnessed our friends' marriages fall by the way side. I am not gloating, I want to share the secret to our success. Any serious relationship is hard work, and I am afraid this is not valued anymore. With social media telling you that you have a thousand friends, it is a lot easier to spend time with your smartphone.
My last point cannot be stressed enough. Communication is a vital part to openness. This sounds silly to say this, but we all need to be reminded time to time. If you have a problem, tell your significant other. This is the basis for modern psychotherapy. I guarantee you will feel better and your partner will feel the same. Even if this subject is extremely painful, only good can come from being honest with each other. I will take this approach over passive aggressive behavior and mind games any day.
By the way, my wife and I are approaching eighteen years as a couple. This number has always meant more to us because we had such a strong foundation from the start.
