Hi There.... We have been married 48 years. First of all, we can't afford to divorce. LOL Also, approach your marriage with the attitude that divorce is NOT AN OPTION. There will be highs and lows, but communicate from the very beginning so that it is a habit. Discuss everything in a timely manner so things don't build up. Don't blame... and start conversations with "I am feeling" or some such not with "You never.." It is alright for both of you to have your own time and interests as long as you don't let them become more imortant than your shared life. Marriage takes work, but it is all worth it. Wishing you many. many happy years of companionship and true love.

Don't forget to keep a good sense of humor. Laughing is good for you and helps keep things in perspective.
