Couples from all over the world took to the internet to share the best advice for having a healthy, loving relationship. Here are ten great pieces of advice from people on Twitter.
- “Never call each other derogatory names during a fight.”
- “Put money into a bank account of your own and don't tell anyone about it.”
- “Coming on 38 years. Never, ever, stop working on the relationship. It is never stagnant. It is always evolving. It will never be what it was yesterday. It will always be growing, blossoming.”
- “32 years of married bliss here. The best advice I got was from a lovely couple celebrating their 60th . He told me “never quit spoiling her.” I’m sure it works both ways.”
- “Give a little more than you get. This advice came to me from an 80 year old man who’d been married to his wife for 60 years.”
- “You spend more time in the friendship part of the relationship than the romantic over time, so nurture that friendship. And keep your sense of humor.”
- “Go to bed angry. It's the opposite of what many people say, but there's not always a solution to every argument. With those situations, continuing to push an issue can lead to bigger problems and harsher words. Some things can't be agreed upon. Sleeping can calm the emotions.”
- “1. It’s ok to be wrong. 2. Learn a proper apology 3. Never make a big decision in the middle of emotional turmoil 4. If you can’t forgive your spouse, you shouldn’t be married.”
- “Keep it between the two of you, as there is only two in a marriage. Others need not apply.”
- “When you’re upset at your partner , ask yourself this question “is it that serious?” If it’s not 80% serious, do whatever you can to no waste precious time being upset.”
