Creating the Greatest Love Story Ever by Nancy Fagan, M.S
"In the book The 30 Secrets of Happily Married Couples, author Paul Coleman tells how happy couples stay happy. His findings are based on many research studies on marital happiness. Basically, his 30 secrets can be summarized into three main goals that all couples should have:
Practice Good Communication. Communication skills include considering the part you play in the problem, trying not to be defensive, and seeing the issue from your partner's perspective.
Have Realistic Expectations for a Long Relationship. Realize that change involves ups and downs and appreciate the effect that major changes, such as having children, will have on your relationship.
Make Time for Each Other. Make regular dates, have fun together, and take every opportunity to be affectionate.
These three goals sound like such a simple recipe for living happily ever after, but they require something that many people forget, which is daily commitment."

That's funny, I was trying to read fast and my eyes were bouncing around and I read "affectionate" as "chocolate." Chocolate is very important in our relationship. And I'm not joking.
Thanks for these ideas too.
Together all the time is a great opportunity to learn how to smooth out the rough spots.
