When a couple has been married for 25 years or more, what’s the first question they are asked? What’s the secret to a long lasing relationship? Or, how did you do it? But really, a long lasting relationship is not something that only an elite few can have…there is no big secret. In fact, relationship expert Amy Morin, LCSW says it has more to do with your attitude than some big secret. She says:
When it comes to relationships, there’s a lot of advice out there about what you should do differently or how you can make your divorce-proof your marriage. However, a lot of marital satisfaction has more to do with your attitude rather than anything else. Keeping your attitude in the right place can help you to have realistic expectations of your relationship and can improve marital satisfaction.
If you want to have a lasing marriage, Amy provides 10 Important Things to Remember About Marriage . Check them out below let us know what it takes to have a lasing marriage:

GREAT article I especially love # 7,9 & 10!
1. I wish most of us Christians would really try to understand what a marriage is!
2. both husband & wife would be mindful the spirit they invite into their minds & ultimately into their marriage!
3. Stop wasting time & effort on wishing if you want your marriage to work!
4. Love is never measured in the # of times you say I Love You but by your actions!
Ronnie Tyler says
thank you for your comments…I need to add them to the list!!

It is important to remember that we are not perfect. We tend to expect perfection from our mates, not remembering that we aren’t perfect either. Building a friendship is very important. It protects you from the outside temptations.
Ronnie Tyler says
thanks for the comment Kimberley…and you make an excellent point….we should not be holding our spouse up to standards that we can’t even meet.

i am so happy to receive your articles concerning marriage issues but i have a problem that disturb me and that problem is that i do not trust men if they have true love because i have been hurt ed a lot by men because they told me that they love me but at the end of the day i caught them having an affairs with other girls and even when i asked them why they keep on lying something that made me more angry and i do not know if i can manage marriage…………….i real need your advice
Ronnie Tyler says
Hi Gloria – I am sorry that you have been hurt so many times. All men are not cheaters and there are definitely men out there that would take care of your heart and not break it. And when you find someone like that for your life ( and I pray that you do), you will need to be able to open up and trust that person. So I would say, since you can not control another person(men)…then the trust has to start with yourself. Going forward…TRUST your instincts and those red flags…don’t give your heart and your trust to a person that does not deserve it. Re-evaluate the relationships that you have had in the past… and use the things that you learn to empower you going into the next relationship.
