A happy relationship can be the most rewarding thing in the world. As anybody who’s ever been in one knows however, they aren’t always (or ever) easy. But they can be made a lot easier by following the advice outlined in these wonderful illustrations.
They come from the website Power of Positivity and they’re designed to remind you of the things that are easy to forget. The secret to a successful relationship lies in the details, the finer things that are often overlooked, especially when you’ve been together for a long time. Like showing appreciation and gratitude, even for the small things, and always supporting each other no matter what. It isn’t always possible to follow all of these rules, but even if you remember only one or two of them then you’re sure to have a happier life together.

Lemmme fix some of these to make it fit to reality a little more. 1. Begin and end each day together if you can, but don't get mad if your partner's schedule don't match yours, or if one of you has to go for a longer trip somewhere else. 6. Never go to bed angry if possible. But understand that anger is an emotion that shouls be resolved, not suppressed, ignored or hidden in a self-decieving fake-it-till-you-make-it attitude. 9. If you judge your partner, there must be some misunderstanding, talk it over together, and always be ready to admit you were wrong and apologise. You know they'll forgive you anyway. 'Cause they love you. 12. Forgive, but never forget. We don't wanna repeat the same mistakes all over again. 13. Leave a surprise meal or snack. With a surprise note if you want it. 14. Don't bother making every dinner romantic. As long as you're with your loved one, it will be romantic either way. And once again, don't get mad if your schedules mismatch. - Okay, that's about it.

Thank you, Cassie Williams for sorting out the point behind my long long comment. As for you, Steve Golla, if you don't want to read the whole comment, you're in no position to judge. I can clearly see you only read the first sentence.

I have been married for 40 years, and this is a bit of old tosh really. There is no list of rules, some of these are just impractical and nonsense. Life gets in the way of most of them, respect and love goes a long way, so do stand up fights. I really get annoyed with this little childish portrayal of perfect ways to behave, if you want to really stay with someone, just really try hard not to be a moron - and take it from there. It's very, very hard sometimes, re-evaluate your life along the way, and keep working on it.

In the perfect world, that's how a relationship should go... But thinking that it follows that pattern everyday is probably the recipe to disaster.

You have to work at it. Every day is never perfect. Every day will ne very work the way you want. But, if you both work at it, it is well worth the journey! We are 33 yrs and counting...our second marriage...both of our first had a partner who did not want to work together.
