What relationship advice would you give your daughter?

If you need to have a difficult conversation , feed your husband first . You will get a far better hearing .

Never go to sleep, or drive a car, on an unsettled argument.

never feel you have to have the last word.
Some things just don't need to be said as they cannot be unsaid.

Keep the sex exciting

CarlyD7 has got it spot on! I think the key issue is "caring and communication" - be sure to keep both going. (DH & I are coming up for our 36th anniversary, and I'd marry him again in a heartbeat.)

Have your own bank account.
Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, spend time apart doing things you enjoy.

That's good advice! When my daughter asks advice I give it reminding her I'm no expert after splitting with her dad and having several failed relationships since. She never takes my advice, maybe that's why she asks, so she can do the opposite! Whatever she does her relationship is going strong

In 1973 when I got married, a friend advised me to put away £1 a week, and to keep it a secret. I didn't do it. Every pound counted at the time. Fortunately it wasn't needed, but I think everyone should have a bit of secret savings, just in case.

I agree with all of the above.
I have been married for almost 50 years and would offer these thoughts.

Listen and show respect to each other.
Give each other their own space and make time for each other.

Treat your husband as you wish to be treated. Being kind, having fun, showing respect, being loving... all (usually) reflect back within a marriage, as they do within any relationship.

Don't put anything in your mouth that you haven't boiled first...…..

but seriously I agree with PaddyAnn and others, love, respect, humour, compromise, etc

Least said, soonest mended. That doesn't mean be a doormat but if you must say something negative try to put it into a 'sandwich' if you will. Praise, mention the bad thing nicely, then a good thing.

Chewbacca, I love the recipe.

“ Remember your husband is always right even when he’s wrong” What dreadful advice. Mine is when it goes wrong get out quickly don’t stay hoping it will get better. Wish I’d listened to my own advice. Still am on my own now thank God and it’s wonderful

Run like hell

always say thank show appriciation look after money .

Keep the rolling pin for rolling pastry and the frying pan for frying eggs.

60 years for us in the summer and the only advice I’d give is ....
you either hang on ...or you don’t...

Not marriage but life advice to my daughters was to make sure that you can support yourself and any children you may have, then you can never be trapped. Sorry not very romantic

Earn your own money and stay in control of how it is spent. Never rely on another person, be self sufficient.
And I was happily married for 50 years and had three children.

Laugh whenever possible, talk often, and never go to bed on an argument.
Also - do not expect to change each other!

I've been with my husband 30+ years and I would share the following. Be kind to each other. Help each other be the best versions of themselves you can. Don't talk about your personal life to others (especially your sex life)! Only seek advice from those who can keep a secret and who have healthy relationships themselves. Have your own interests as well as interests together. Don't get into competition with your spouse (in any area). Be worthy of Trust & Loyalty. Be unselfish but don't be a doormat - make sure your needs are equally as important as his in the marriage. Work out how to talk through problems. make sure you have the same attitude to money - otherwise you will spend your time together resentful and angry. Think of yourselves as best friends and A Team - and work together towards joint goals. PS Before you get married, make sure you want the same things (i.e. don't do what a friend of mine did and not discuss having children, only to find out, on her honeymoon, that her husband didn't want them). Whew - I think I'll stop now!

Me too Minimoon... and paddyann. How true!
Give in to the unimportant things, stand firm on the things that you feel strongly about.

If you always grit your teeth and bite your tongue you will starve to death. In other word say what is bothering you or making you unhappy.

Keep talking, lots of kindness and keep a small fund of your own. I do agree about not telling friends too much, you can be sure it will go at least one further.
