Commitment is the glue of marriage
Insulate and protect your marriage against emotional infidelity by avoiding friendships with members of the opposite sex
Codependence is a necessary ingredient for a great marriage
Spouses must need each other
Spouses need clear, realistic goals and a specific plan of how to achieve those goals
Like any strong working partnership, marriage needs well-defined roles for each spouse
Acceptance is about appreciating, not settling
Your marriage has to come first
before jobs, kids, anything else
Your unconscious assumptions are holding you back from putting in the effort
Your childhood has a great deal to do with your ability to enjoy a great marriage
The more you understand this connection, the better marriage you will have
Great sex comes not from great sexual skill but from sharing your deepest, shyest self while trusting your partner
Your marriage comes before your child
But your child is one of your best tools for creating a great marriage
A great marriage has many stages and takes years to develop properly
Focus energy on creating a healthy relationship with your spouse's parents.
