1. Marry the right person. There is only one way you will know if the person you are dating is the right person to marry and that is by spending time together. We recommend dating at least one year before getting engaged. We dated for four years before getting married. Once we got married, there were no surprises.

The first time we got married we were married for a short period of time. Three months.And what happened one day is we got into a fight.One of us said the word divorce and the other said"Okay,great."And before we know we have signed paperwork and we were diroced. So,just never bring it up.It's just something you don't want to discuss.

4. Don’t argue over petty things. When we first got married we argued over every little ridiculous thing. It made our lives miserable. We then made the decision that we would no longer argue about meaningless things. Now when one of us bring up an issue, we both know it's a serious issue and we both take it seriously.

6. Find at least one 30-minute block of time to spend together each day. It could be in the morning before work or in the evening. During this designated time, discuss what’s going on in each of your lives. We all have a lot going on, but if your marriage is a priority, spending time together should take precedence over all other activities.And when our children were young,we would take 30 minutes before dinner.Todd and I unintterupted by our small children.They would know this is our time to catch up for the day.We made that our priority.
