Have you ever seen people who after being in a relationship for many years still seem in love like they have just met each other?

I remember I was at an event and at the lunch break, a couple was waiting in line to dish up. They had been married for a few years by then. They spoke to each other with pet names as they spoke about the food, how much, and what they should take. The people in front of them commented that they sounded like newlyweds with their love-dovey talk. To them, it was completely normal. That is where I thought, I wanted to be that lovey-dovey couple one day.

Staying in love with your partner takes work and there are a couple of secrets that can help you along the way.

The biggest secret is not to take your partner for granted.

The author of the book 50 Secrets of a Blissful Relationshiphas been married to Athea since 1990 and in that time they have had the best time doing so. They have been applying these secrets in their marriage and people asked him how they have such a good marriage despite challenges. This does not mean they are perfect people or they have not gone through trying times. They have. Michael struggled with depression and Athea was there supporting him the entire time. They have things, like any couple, that bug the other person.

Michael and Athea Webb have not fought in over 25 years. It seems hard to believe. I am working on getting there with my marriage, not quite there yet, but very close.

In the book 50 Secrets of a Blissful Relationship, Michael shares real anecdotes that help you see what he has done in his relationship to keep it ‘blissful’.

To keep a marriage fun. Romance isn’t always a big gesture of flowers and dinner. Romance can be as simple as sending a message in the middle of the day saying you are thinking of the other person.

I remember what Clint Eastwood once said when asked how he stays so active at his age, “Don’t let the old man in.”

I think the same can apply in marriage, “Don’t let bitterness in”, “Don’t let angry grow”, “Stay in love”, and “Keep the romance alive”.

Keep focusing on the positive sides of marriage and don’t let the negative take over. The media has made marriage a negative thing. How many memes haven’t you seen where marriage is portrayed as a ball and shackle? That also scares people from ever committing to marry. I find this very sad for marriage is the biggest blessing.
