Love That Will Last: Tips For A Lasting Marriage

Newly weds dream of happily ever afters, white picket fences, kids, the works. It is a life built on dreams, until reality sets in. What is the secret to a healthy, happy, lasting marriage? Albuquerque Shutterbooth divulges some of the best advice for newly weds from those who have tied the knot and are still madly in love years after the “I dos.”

1. Compromise when you can, but do not make one you cannot live with later.

Meeting half way is a healthy practice in any relationship. However, the one thing you never want to do is make a compromise that has time limits within your marriage. If it is not something you can commit to for the foreseeable future, or the ‘long haul’, odds are it is not a commitment you need to be making.

2. Keep your love alive by making time for a date every week.

Time grows exceedingly precious in the course of a marriage.  Do not let lack of funds keep you from keeping your love alive.  Walks in the park or along the beach are just as meaningful as a candlelit dinner for two!

3. Do not take your partner for granted.

Take a minute every day to appreciate your husband or wife. Be sure to let him or her know just how lucky you are to have him or her by your side! Never stop thanking taking time to appreciate your partner and always say “I love you.”
