Advice and Tips:

Jeff Gerwitz: Keep Communication and Smooch Them Often!

Felice Gerwitz: Don't go to bed angry: A. You both agree to solve your issues before bed -- B. Understand the resolution will be a compromise for Both of You! and If you love giving gifts - A. Don't expect anything in return and B. Accept gifts graciously

Carol Topp: One key to marriage success is to set aside time each day to catch up, even if it's just 10 minutes. A co-worker gave me this advice over 20 years ago and he was right! My show http://dollarsandsenseshow.com. BTW my husband and I had our 30th Anniversary this year.

Hal Young: When God created marriage, the very first reason the Bible gives is companionship - "It is not good that the man should be alone," God said (Genesis 2:18). We should make it our goal to make our mate our best friend as well as our spouse. That takes time and commitment, but don't we know how to keep up a friendship? Why not use the same relationship skills in our marriage?
