TIPS to have a wonderful marriage!!

Peek into the lives of happy couples and find out how these four love moves will bring the two of you closer than ever.

Understand Each Other's Needs
The main reason marriages break up is not conflict, communication problems, or sexual incompatibility. It's frustration -- the day-to-day disappointment of the gap between what you expect and how your partner acts -- that is most damaging. To diffuse that frustration, share your expectations with each other. Maybe you desire more affection and he craves more relaxed couple time. And be sure to check in with your partner once a year, as added pressures or life changes can create new expectations.

Show Him Some Love
Husbands whose wives give them affirmation -- those words and gestures that show they are appreciated, respected, and loved -- are twice as likely to describe themselves as happily married. And men may need affirmation more than women. Women are constantly receiving flattery from friends and even strangers who say, Love your outfit!. But men don't get that recognition. Can you imagine a passerby stopping your husband to compliment him on how well his tie matches his shirt? Not gonna happen -- which is why men rely on that attention from their wives. Luckily, there's another payoff to your flattery: He's more likely to return those loving deeds back to you.
