I am married for 7 years now and here is what I think could help marriages to last. I always try to treat my husband the way I would like to be treated, when I have said something harsh to him I always come back and apologize. When he comes from work I await him at the door and great him with a hug and a kiss. I try to compliment him everyday whether its through a text or email. I tell him often that I love him and show it in my deeds. I don't lie and hide things from him and neither does he. We treat each other with respect and try to bring out the best of each other.
