Learn to listen and respect what the other person is saying
Don't judge, ridicule, and dehumanize
Be understanding and forgiving
Be calm cool and collected
Don't jump to conclusions
No where to say "I'm sorry" and really mean it
Don't lie and cheat your way through any relationship
Be attentive to the other person's needs
Be kind and generous
Never play the blame game
Be mature and responsible or be by yourself
Never say never
Strive for understanding, harmony, and balance
Never be possessive and controlling
Stay away from possessive and controlling people
Never justify abuse; get away from it quick
Big mouths learn to shut up and listen
Know it alls learn how to humble yourselves
Never gossip and slander each other
Make each other giggle
Search for the little kid in each other
Don't try to outsmart each other
Don't smother each other
A little functional jealousy is o.k., but too much will destroy the relationship
Learn to be friends
Know when to throw in the towel and quit
Having friends is healthy, don't belittle each others friends, no matter how weird they might seem to you
Be honest about your feelings to each other
Life is short, make the best of every day
Be honest about sexual needs, never put anyone down if they are having a problem with performance; that only makes things worse
Live life to the fullest, you may not be here tomorrow
Don't take each other for granted, treasure what you have and strive to make it better and better
Be sincere in your communication, don't humor and patronize, this will only lead to separation
Don't let your families come between you; tell them to mind their own business
Don't call each other names unless they are pet names; cursing each other will only end in failure
Never act like idiots in front of the kids
Don't use the kids as pawns in your dysfunctional game; it will come back to haunt you later
Don't live beyond your means; don't run your credit cards through the roof
Save money; be financially responsible
Plan for your future now
Don't be secretive about money with each other; if you have to do that then you should not be together in the first place
Spend time with each other, quality time; go somewhere and get away from it all, and everything will still be there when you get back
Let your worries go, give them to God, seek the path of peace, understanding, and balance
Don't overindulge in anything
Put your relationship first and your kids second; this will keep you together, safe and secure
Don't try to change each other, concentrate on changing yourself and everything else will fall into place
