[QUOTE=RLC12345678]Our parents and grandparents told us that we should wake up every single day and the first thing we should say to ourselves is, "What can I do today to make this marriage better?" Not what can MY SPOUSE do to make this better, but what can I do.

Could not have said it better myself! I have been happily married going on 17 years. Both of us are on our second marriage and seeing ones own faults along with two-way communication have been the keys to our success! These, along with several other factors, i.e. honesty, trust, etc. are constantly kept in mind and fine tuned as necessary. What I have found is that a loving, healthy relationship is one in which BOTH parties work at on a continual basis!
