Top 11 ways to have a healthy relationship in married life

1. Make sure you are up ten minutes before your dh to don full make up, including those lovely long eyelashes he loves.
2. Make sure the bacon is crisp as you lovingly prepare his breakfast.
3. Ensure the sleeve creases are even when you iron his shirts.
4. Be sure to dust the tv remote control before handing back to him.
5. Always show interest in his tales of the past.
6. Smile sweetly with a gentle tinkling laugh at his jokes. Never a raucous laugh.
7. Make sure that his meals are on the table at the correct hour and only serve his favourites.
8. Always have a cold beer in the fridge at the ready.
9. Prepare a bowl of warm water to soak his tired feet before giving him an aromatherapy massage to help him sleep.
10. Wear nothing but his favourite perfume in bed.
And finally …
11. Laugh with him not at him as he wakes from this dream with a stupid grin on his face. Then hand him a tissue to wipe the dribble from his mouth and tell him you’re ready for that nice cuppa he promised you before he nodded off.

Learn to agree to disagree, and that your way isn't the only way to do something.

If we're having a robust discussion about something, our dog will move and sit as close as he can by the one he obviously thinks is right, looking reproachfully at the other one of us ?

Live 150 miles from each other x

Appreciate what you have, not yearn for what you don’t.
Love each other, simples.

Laughing at yourself and with each other

Live 150 miles apart but commute & stay awhile as & when. Works a treat. Headspace & room to breath. ?

Would love to know what the original post said! A healthy relationship in married life, well after 44 yrs I'm still trying to work that one out

aggie - I was having coffee one day with a friend who’s marriage was a disaster. She told me he’d started running 10 miles a day - so I replied that by the end of a week, the bastard would be 70 miles away. A man nearby must have been listening and laughed so much, he nearly choked on his drink.
