[quote=Anonymous]Communication, like others have said.

A strong attraction to each other - physically, mentally, emotionally.

Lots of date nights (kids are both in preschool).

Equality - we both work FT, so everything is split 50/50. DH understands that I need time away with friends, and he needs time alone with his computer. We make it happen.

A willingness to change/adapt/try new things to keep the marriage going. Like, I bombed on 2 meals (they tasted great - fam wouldn't eat them) last week. I told DH that he needed to step up and plan/cook so I wasn't the only one putting in the effort. I knew to do this before it got personal/too frustrating with me. We try to do physical things together - playing outside, going for walks, etc.  We change up our routines (Dh used to do the morning school run, now I do it but I get time in the evening instead).

A great sense of humor and perspective about life in general.

Sacrificing little things that don't really matter (movie preferences, restaurant preferences, putting laundry in baskets, etc.) to make the other person happy and reduce the conflict/criticism that comes with cohabitation.[/quote]
