how to build and foster a good relationship/marriage.

Exactly

 

i agree with u.

u shouldnt punish someone for something they didnt do.

learn from the past but dont let it rule u.

 

A partnership is just that. A PARTNERship. All decisions, joys and burdons should rest squarely on the shoulders of both of the people in the relationship as all decisions made affect both of the people involved.

Affection both verbal and physical is like air.

Vulnerability and strength go hand in hand

Never hold a grudge and do not bring up past hurts. Forgiveness.

Speak openly and listen keenly

Humans are well, human. Mistakes are made

Love with your whole heart and do not withhold love as punishment

 

dont take your woman/man for granted

 

I am so not the person to comment on this, lmao.

 

people should not wait for someone else to be the lead on romance...especially when there is a lull.

 

Some of the best advice I got from my Grandpa before marriage, he said, love is a daily honor to be earned by both of you.

 

thats a great statement

 

Yes it sure is

 

i like it because it says to me...,at least, u have to constantly work at it.

 

the trend i have notice and dont like is no hand -holding while walking down the street.

im a hand holder....so that sux.

 

Are you guys ok with pda

 

I was guilty of the same, and I'm certain that it was a significant factor in the demise of my marriage. There was other stuff too, but ultimately, I'm thinking we weren't truly compatible.

 

I only like a little PDA, too much annoys me. I have a WW now that loves pda and I have to constantly tell this girl to relax. I be like "I know you love touching me baby but goddamn calm down." lol

13 "tricks for long marriage"

 

Im a hand holder.

 

Lmao if my man ever told me to "calm down" when I was touching on him, guarantee my hands would be off him for a good long while lol.

 

My guys the same way :heart: He takes my hand 24/7...in the car, in the store, at dinner, in bed...doesn't matter where we are, he's either holding my hand or got his hands on me. It's sweet as hell imo :heart:

 

My favorite thing to do is when we walk in the store or something i put my hand in the small of her back to guide her in.

 

Awww my baby does that. If it's crowded though, he'll take my hand and lead me in. Crowds tend to just part when they see him coming lol.
