Tips for a Happy Married Life

1. Keep your mind on your main goal, which is to have a happy marriage. Say and do what will enable you and your spouse to have a happy marriage. Avoid the opposite. Everything else is commentary.
2. Never both be angry at the same time.
3. Keep asking yourselves, what can we do to have a happy, loving atmosphere in our home?
4. Focus on giving, rather than taking. Say and do as many things as possible to meet your spouses needs. 
5. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
6. If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.
7. Keep doing and saying things that will give your spouse a sense of importance. 
8. If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.
9. Give up unrealistic expectations. Do not expect your spouse to be perfect and do not make comparisons.
10. Never bring up mistakes of the past. 
11. Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
12. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
13. Be a good listener. Understand your spouse from his or her point of view. 
14. At least once everyday try to say one kind or complimentary thing to your life's partner.
15. Keep thinking about what you can do to bring out the best qualities of your spouse. Reinforce those qualities with words and action.
16. When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness.
17. Look positive activities you can do together.
18. It takes two to make a quarrel, and the one in the wrong is the one who does the most talking.
19. Remember your finest moments. What did you say and do when you felt best about each other? Increase them.
20. Live in the present. What went wrong in the past is the past. You create the present and future with your thoughts, words, and actions right now. Choose them wisely.
