Was looking through my textbook for developmental psychology and saw this, thought it was interesting.
Seven key things to help maintain a long lasting and happy marriage (Donatelle & Davis 1997):
1) Make time for your relationship.
2) Express your love to your spouse.
3) Be there in times of need.
4) Communicate constructively and positively about problems in the relationship.
5) Be interested in your spouse's life.
6) Confide in your spouse.
7) Forgive minor offenses, and try to understand major ones.
