Patience and commitment. Times change, and couples must learn to change with those times. Also, privacy is often overlooked as something that keeps a marriage strong. You might be married, but you still are an individual who needs time to yourself once in a while without having to feel like you have to entertain or keep your loved one company all the time. I was married for 34 years, until my husband died on Halloween of 2016, and we had a wonderful marriage, yet we never lost sight of our individuality.
Don't know about most relationships but seems to me many suffer from unreasonable and unspoken expectations as well as lack of friendship and over-all enjoyment of one another.
You all, as always, have already Used Up All the GOOD ONES! Damn!
Let me think. O.k. How about being secure enough within the already above mentioned to still be able to grow TOGETHER?
You don't want your relationships to reach a plateau where you are too lazy to share. It's impossible. Every day we learn and live. A marriage is from the heart, not a piece of paper. In America, it would seem it is for finance and taxes. Make it from the heart . Throw a great party to celebrate your love for one another anytime you would like. :)
Keep maturing, naturally, together and love every minute in doing so. In order to be prospering together, you need to offer things into the relationship. You both are responsible for this.
