30 Ways To Stay Married For 30 Years
• Mind your manners. Say please and thank you and excuse me.
• Take care of yourself. Eat right, exercise and get some sleep so you can be around for the next 30 years.
• Assume the best. Chances are he/she meant to do the right thing even if they messed it up.
• Take turns with the Netflix queue. And restaurant choices. And the TV remote.
• Go out for breakfast. Even if it’s just for a $1 donut. It’s important to carve out time to talk together.
• Be a team. Keep your fights in the locker room.
• Be spouses first. Then be parents second and children third.

• Put your phone down and make eye contact.
• Kiss more.

• Be on time. It conveys respect and honor.
• Never make sweeping blanket statements. No one does something every time or always.
