What a nice read! My wife and I have been married for 8 years now. A lot of the things you mentioned in your article have indeed paved the way to a happy and lasting marriage for us. It takes hard work, determination, patience, love and forgiveness. Some think that when you get married, the game is over and it’s time to “settle down.” On the contrary, this is when the work and the commitment really begins.

Love the article!

Note in hacking the score: I think one way to do this is to focus on giving, rather than taking. Say and do as many things as possible to meet your spouses needs. Keep thinking about what you can do to bring out the best qualities of your spouse. Reinforce those qualities with words and action.

A very insightful Avani. Relationships can be such a challenge when we lack the attitude of being forgiving and giving. I am lucky to have a partner who seems to be living the truths you mentioned in your article.

Excellent points. I really liked the point you made about telling your spouse about your birthday, or your anniversary, a week in advance instead of hoping that he/she remembers it. This is such a simple way to avoid the disappointment of being let down (can’t help it if your partner is bad with dates). About the point that you made about “ask and it’s given”, I guess this works well for women but I’ve noticed that this does not work out so well for men, for some reason. As a man when you ask a woman for things that you want, she is more likely to feel that you are “needy”, is that not the case?

Hi Avani, This is a great article. So much truth in it. I agree keeping a score card is not good. the only thing that will come out of that is a divorce sooner or later. Thanks Debbie .-= Debbie´s awesome post ..Conquer Your Unhappiness In 5 Simple Steps! =-.

@Contrariwise: I am sorry about your marriage. Relationship requires effort from both sides. These ideas will work only if both desire to make them work.

Nice ideas. They don't always work, especially when your spouse has no intention of reciprocating or changing. I'm counting the days when my kids go to college and I can divorce my husband. contrariwise´s last blog post..Tutorial: How to oxidize sterling silver using eggs
