Take care of him. And make him feel important. And if you can do that, you'll have a happy and wonderful marriage. Like two out of every ten couples.

Every night, whisper 'peace' in your husband's ear.

Tell your husbands any bad news when everything is calm, not just as they come through the door.

I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

The best you can sometimes do is learn to take a breath, count to ten and simply accept that try as you might, no, your husband will never, ever learn not to drop a wet towel on the bed. That acceptance too counts as resolving a fight.

I have the best husband in the world. He's very involved.

Determine that there will never be anything that will come between you that will disrupt your marriage. Make it work. Resolve to make it work.

What does one tell a husband? One tells him nothing.

A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.
