Communication is constant work, but important

It is important for couples to know that the success of their marriage depends a lot on good communication and the ability to talk constructively as partners.  These tips are simple yet can do a lot to make a marriage last:

·               Being affectionate

·               Showing your concern or how much you care

·               Being thoughtful by giving gifts even when there is no occasion

·               Being appreciative

·               Having a healthy sense of humor

·               Sharing each other's joy

To keep marriage strong, couples must share their interests and explore new things together.  They must also learn to accept each other's weaknesses and perspectives even if they do not agree.  Indeed, marriage is a matter of give-and-take.  Whether it's having an argument or making a marriage work, it does take  "two to tango.”
