MARRIAGE ADVICE IS EASY TO IGNORE UNTIL YOU NEED IT. WHO HASN’T ROLLED THEIR
EYES AT SUCH TRITE APHORISMS AS “SAY SORRY EVEN IF YOU DON’T MEAN IT” OR “DON’T
GO TO BED ANGRY”? THESE PHRASES TEND TO LEAK OUT OF PEOPLE’S MOUTHS AROUND
WEDDINGS AND ANNIVERSARIES BUT ARE BARELY HELPFUL. TRUE, LIVED-IN ADVICE FOR A
LONG, HAPPY MARRIAGE ISN’T SO TIDY BECAUSE NEITHER ARE RELATIONSHIPS. SO, WHAT
IS SOME HONEST ADVICE FROM COUPLES WHO’VE BEEN THROUGH THE LONG HAUL? WE
RECENTLY ASKED 25 PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 25 PLUS YEARS ABOUT WHAT
MAKES THEIR RELATIONSHIP WORK. HERE’S WHAT THEY SAID, AND WHY IT’S HELPED THEM
STAY TOGETHER FOR THE LONG RUN.

TIPS AND TRICKS
WHAT HELPS COUPLES STAY CONTENT? THEY EMBRACE THE UPSIDE
AT THE BEGINNING OF A RELATIONSHIP, POSITIVE EMOTIONS ARE FLOWING WITH
REGULARITY. EXCITEMENT, JOY, AND PASSION ARE ALL RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. BUT,
AS THE RELATIONSHIP PROGRESSES AND YOU BOTH GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH EACH
OTHER, SOME PEOPLE EXPECT THAT THOSE POSITIVE EMOTIONS WILL JUST HAPPEN WITHOUT
ANY EFFORT. NOT SO.
“THE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE HAPPIEST COUPLES WITH THE MOST SUSTAINABLE
MARRIAGES ARE THE ONES WHO ACTIVELY CULTIVATE THEM ALL THE TIME AND PRIORITIZE
THEM AS OPPOSED TO WAITING AROUND FOR THEM TO HAPPEN,” SAYS, SUZANN PILEGGI,
CO-AUTHOR OF HAPPY TOGETHER: USING THE SCIENCE OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TO BUILD
LOVE THAT LASTS “BECAUSE, LIKE WITH ANYTHING, THE NEWNESS OF SOMETHING, THOSE
HEIGHTENED POSITIVE EMOTIONS, THE LEVEL, AND THE FREQUENCY JUST NATURALLY DON’T
OCCUR AS MUCH AS AT THE BEGINNING OF A RELATIONSHIP, THE FALLING-IN-LOVE STAGE.”
SO, COUPLES IN LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WHO ARE LOOKING TO CULTIVATE POSITIVE
EMOTIONS MUST ASK THEMSELVES WHAT CAN I DO EACH DAY? WHAT ACTIVITIES OR ACTIONS
CAN I DO IN ORDER TO KEEP POSITIVE EMOTIONS FLOWING IN MY MARRIAGE?
“IMAGINE IF YOU JUST BOUGHT A GYM MEMBERSHIP AND WENT ONCE AND THEN SAID, ‘OKAY,
NOW I’M GOING TO BE FIT,’” PILEGGI SAYS. “NO, YOU WORK OUT REGULARLY AND
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME.”
