Married 32 years. The only two pieces of marriage advice I ever have, one is pretty easy to do, and the other... some people don't like. . The easy one is, recognize that you are a team. You can't win an argument, you can't lose an argument: you win together, or you lose together. My favorite saying is Japanese: a husband and wife, working together, can bail out the ocean. . The hard one is: never lie. Ever. About anything, no matter how big or small. Don't lie just to keep the peace, don't lie because you're too tired to fight right now, don't even lie to spare their feelings. This is very hard to do; especially in the beginning, it feels impossible. But if you can do this, your spouse will know, for an absolute fact, not just a hope, that you're telling her the truth. And that trust is more valuable to your marriage than gold.

Go to bed angry. Revisit it when you both have slept on it.

Don’t bad mouth your spouse to your family. If you need to vent find a friend that will understand you are just venting not wanting them to hate your spouse. Families usually can not be neutral.

I work retail. A customer that was celebrating 70years of marriage gave me this marriage advice when I asked her for some, “always go places with them because if you don’t somebody else will.”

“Eventually you stop asking, ‘do we love each other?’ And start asking, ‘do we want the same kind of life.’” THIS is exactly right.

25 years married….my tip is to believe the behavior, not the words. Words come easy and can “roll”, whereas action is intentional and takes effort. Believe what you see, not what you hear.

Married 41 yrs together 46. Communicate with each other. Talk about everything together...the big stuff, the uncomfortable stuff, the fun stuff. This builds trust.

Only advice I will add is if you have an issue with your spouse, NO ONE should know that BEFORE your spouse! TALK OUT YOUR SHIT! You can't ask everyone else what to do in a marriage conflict before you ask/discuss with your spouse. You're married to ONE person, not your friends/family

The absent Birdie :
An argument with your wife is NOT like an argument with your MOM when you were a Kid. You’re not gonna be grounded or things taken away from you. Talk the whole thing out when it happens, it’s much easier to get through & over, she’s your Best Friend as well as your Wife. Have your discussion like you’re talking to a Friend
