• Money is important! But do not let money be a cause of friction in your marriage. Make a spending plan and discuss spending limits. Decide before hand the amount of money you can spend without consulting each other. In this way, you can avoid all possible future arguments.
  
  
• Remember to compliment more than criticize. Complimenting is important as it will make your partner feel wanted. Even one compliment can often be a cause of great happiness for your partner which he or she will really cherish.
  
  
• Try to celebrate even small occasions. Most couples only celebrate occasions like an anniversary or Valentine's Day or a birthday. Celebrate even small occasions like an achievement in your job or if your partner successfully accomplished a goal. Making these sort of small moments special make the journey more exciting.
  
  
• Making a marriage work would involve making sacrifices sometimes for each other's happiness. It does not always need to be the movie or restaurant of your choice only! If the two of you are disagreeing about the selection of movie, give in to your partner's choice. It does not always need to be the one you want. Take pleasure in their happiness!

• When you feel like fighting or arguing, keep things in perspective. Think; is it correct to argue over small issues? If not, it is probably not worth arguing about and disturbing the harmony between the two of you.
  
  
• Do not stop your partner from having fun just because you can not join in. Sometimes, you and your wife may have a set of common friends and receive invitations for events.

• When you meet your friends along with your spouse always make it a point to introduce him or her to everyone. It will make them feel nice when you treat them with respect like this.
  
  
• Be responsible and understanding. If you are going to be late, call up your husband and let him know. Similarly, if your plans suddenly change and you need to go out from office directly, inform your husband so that he will not get worried. It will show your concern for your spouse and that you are thinking about them.
  
  
• Finally, every day when you wake up in the morning, be thankful that you have such a loving husband or wife. At the end of the day when you go to bed, make these feelings and thoughts known to your partner. It is a great way to end the day.
