In studying for an upcoming lesson I came across the following marriage advice. A couple with a long-term marriage shared from their experience what you an I can do to have happy marriages.

1. GIVE when you want to RECEIVE.
2. SERVE when you want to FEAST.
3. LISTEN when you want to TALK.
4. SUBMIT when you want to REIGN.
5. FORGIVE when you want to REMEMBER.
6. STAY when you want to LEAVE.

Looking at this advice I think we can conclude that a happy marriage puts your spouse and the relationship before self.
