Nuke and I have been married forever and I'd say the most important thing to remember in a relationship is respect.
Respect for their feelings, beliefs and ideas even if you disagree. Honestly and loyalty are a given for a long relationship as well, but I think to many people fail to appreciate the respect they need to have for differing opinions.
I'm sure you guys have noticed that Nukeman has strong opinions and if we couldn't come together and if not agree, at least agree to disagree and respect that the other person has the right to their opinions we wouldn't have lasted as long as we have.
fortunately he usually agrees that I'm right. Such a smart man.

If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
I just can't anymore. If you do not see a difference between men and women, there is no point discussing the concept of this thread with you.
So, for everyone else- back to the point of the thread- I think we need to remember the simple fact that the person we are living with, being of a different gender, is different from us- likely has some different needs and wants. And we need to act accordingly if we want them to be happy. Our men want to know they are respected as men. Our women want to be treasured as women. And no amount of gender blurring or PC nonsense will ever change that.

Love your other half.
Think of your other half in all things.
Plan as if only death will part you from your other half.
Be nice to other half-even when angry.
Kiss you other half every chance you get .
And pray.

You're asking the un-answerable!
I'm married 21 years and have no flipping idea really how we survived this far.
The differences between man and women is what keeps so many of us together. I look to my wife for the tender things, for the type of love only a woman can offer. I go to her for the knowledge that only a woman can possess. The knowledge of being loved by that woman is indescribable. What it does to the man, is simply makes him better.
Compromise. Mutual respect. Admiration.
And I think Robin Williams nailed it in this flick. It's those "Idiosyncrasies". Well worth a few minutes of your life, at least for some input as to understand marriage. So what makes a perfect marriage? "Are you perfect for one another".
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
Respect matters. Both given and received. And learn to govern your tongue. Before you criticize, think. Figure out what s really bothering you and say it in a self-focused way. What I mean is tell the other person how you feel about whatever is going on rather than just saying "You are always doing...whatever" It frustrates V4R a bit sometimes since I will stew about something for a bit before expressing myself. But I would prefer to be sure of what I want to say first.
Since I will soon have 47 years of experience in being married to THE SAME PERSON.
We learned early on.
Always be honest with each other.
Do not keep secrets from one-another.
Remember; money will always be a part of nearly every argument you may have. So,
keep one-another informed about spending, bills, and the needs each of you may have.
If you spoke VOWELS when you married. Keep reminding yourself those words MEANT something.
And, if you share a faith in a religion. Use that faith as your guide in being respectful to one-another.
No two people will always agree on everything, nor will you like what someone else does.
Do not allow your complaints about each other to Gather into many complaints. When something
upsets you. DEAL WITH IT THEN. Putting it off, then using many complaints during an argument
NEVER WORKS.
All of you may laugh at this but...NEVER GO TO BED MAD AT EACH OTHER. Never!
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
