Ah finally a topic I can really get into Argue! Disagree!- Honest & loving too, This is how you keep a marriage strong. You must keep who you were alive. Yes you will learn and grow together, But you must not become totally like your other half as to the same for the other half. Let me break my theory down for you this way.

1) Remain the best of friend's.
No matter how much time

you have spent together you must be the best of friend's. To do this is very simple. Always ask "How they are doing?", "How was your day?". Never forget to include your insights of the day either. Don't wait to be asked. It's not that they didn't want to know maybe they just had a long day and forgot to go through the motion's. Always share your thoughts, feelings and emotions.

2) Compromise.
You must compromise in any relationship.
Now this one rule can be a bit hard, Only if your a bit of a mule. If you are the mule type, you must learn how to be more open minded. A small bit of advice for the mule, Trust your spouse! They love you and want you to be happy. You won't be happy if your spouse isn't happy. So stop donkey kicking idea's and go with the flow once in awhile.

3)Honesty.
Simple thing to do right?
Well I'm here to say "Not alway's. We are all human, we all make a boo boo from time to time. (Enter my grin here.) You must try with all your might to be open and honest with your spouse. No matter how large the boo boo you created. Often we start with a little lie, (Which I never got the difference in little to large lies)Then in scales into another lie. Then what you have is a mess of lie's. One lie could change how your spouse views you in their eye's. This leads me to the next step.

4) Trust.
Little trust goes a long way.
No matter how you feel about things you have done or want to do, You must share with your partner. Your spouse and let me enter a cliche here- Your spouse is your other half, Meaning you are a complete together. You must trust yourself right? Then why wouldn't you include all of you in whats going on? Some people have a lot of difficulty with this trust issue. I'm not sure why. Unless you are uncomfortable with your spouse knowing you for you. In that case maybe marriage wasn't right for you. A marriage is a commitment not only on paper but in mind and soul aswell. You may encounter a idea your spouse has that to you may sound off the wall or just plain crazy. This is where you enter honesty but follow it with compromise. I hope you realize by now that you can't do
