I would say find the good in your spouse and praise them more than you find fault. Think if their dislike is something you suggle with yourself. Divorce is not allowed. You make a convent before God therefore you keep it. It is harder to stay and work things out then to go and see what you lose out on. Never go to bed with anger on your heart be the first to apologize. It has worked for forty years come this July for me.

Marriage is a commitment. When the going gets tough (and it will!), don't give up. I knew I was doing the right thing when I married, and that was part of the basis for keeping on keeping on!

I've been married 41 years and what works for us, is to let each other have their space and time to do things with their own friends and not get mad. Also spend time together doing what the 2 of you like to do. Remember to LOVE that special person.
Always remember your hardest job is making a good marriage last. 2nd hardest job is raising your children. 3rd hardest job is the one you got paid for doing.

The same advice I give for everything...remember that no thing lasts...not good stuff nor bad stuff. Cherish the good because in the blink of an eye it's gone...cherish the bad, it is the only way you know how good you've got it.

1. Never go to bed mad &
2. Your friends will only know what you tell them. Some things are better left unsaid.
