Maintain individual interests and passions separate from your partner. Prioritize love and swift resolution of minor issues to prevent them from becoming larger problems. Avoid shouting and prioritize mutual improvement. Take care of yourself to better care for your partner. Choose harmony over being right and be quick to apologize.
My wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on December 17th. To create something unique and memorable, I decided I would explore a bit of the relationship wisdom that time provides.
I asked couples who have been married 40, 50, and 60+ years a simple question: What relationship advice would you give to your younger selves?
The advice captured 500+ years of earned relationship wisdom.
