#### How do I stay happily married?

If there is an argument, Be the first to apologise. Being right doesn't always matter, so lead by example.
Make your partner laugh. Don't be afraid to make yourself ridiculous.
Woo her/ him every week. That means unexpected treats, a private joke only your partner will understand, a small but thoughtful gift or an unprovoked kindness.
Put them first. They will respond in kind and you will generate a virtuous circle.
Be liberal with your compliments and if you really hate her/his new haircut, lie or shut up.
If she likes the ballet for instance but you don't, arrange to go to your choice of restaurant afterwards. Fair's fair.
Don't be afraid to have time apart to each do things you particularly like but they don't.
Get over your jealousy.
Don't be a dick.
Don't do anything to erode her/his trust in you. Ever.
