How to Keep Marriage Healthy

A healthy marriage is what a baby and family deserve. The best thing you can do is try. I'm a child of divorced parents so I'm not bashing anyone. :]

Here are some things I've come up with so far to maintain a healthy marriage :
-Have date night at least once a week. [If you have a baby, even if it's pizza and wine for 15 minutes at most finally after the baby went down. Just light a single candle or something! Then pass out, tehehe. :]
-Yes, be each other's true best friend. You're on the same team. Respecting each other is huge aspect of doing this.
-Don't go to sleep mad.
-Don't have many nights apart. Example: business trip, etc.
-Take trips and vacations to relax, explore, learn, have fun, share and make memories together. Whether it's a day outing, going fruit picking in the nearby countryside of where you live, mini weekender, or whatever!
-Talk arguments out so that there are no misunderstandings or grudges for next time. Talk it out to release so you can learn and or teach one another. You'll also release their love for you by talking it out rather than the opposite. :]
-Def pick and choose your "battles". It's too much to fight for all of them. Why bother anyways? Let the person be if it's not going to interfere with you [meaning dont bicker much if its something they do and doesnt involve you, but just bothers you].
-Love yourself to love your spouse and others. So that means standing up for yourself when you need to also.
-No name calling in arguments. You can't take what you said when you're mad back. [I'm bad in this :[
-Therapy is healthy. I wish we could [extra cash] do this. [Although a couple we do this with is not bad too, lol jk.]
-Keep God as the center. This is a personal belief. That is the only way it will grow healthy and strong. Yep, God knows what one goes through a marriage!

You can always be doing something to better a relationship. These are easier said than done and challenging. Yes there are a lot; with a lotttt more I didnt even mention. No one said it was going to be easy. Hey a marriage is a blessing, but also a lot of work. ;]

Please share more tips and opinions!!! I would love to hear.
