Know the Risks
Some marriages are more likely to fail than others. For example marriages where the couple wed young or one of the partners comes from a divorced home. Even without those factors, a union can begin to unravel over time. For instance, something as simple as negative body language or eye rolling can set the stage for trouble. Take this quiz to assess your risk of splitting
Reignite the Flame
Maybe your union isn't doomed for Divorceville, but it's still lacking luster. One key piece of advice to inject mojo back into your marriage is to replace the remote control with a romantic candle, according to Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and author. Dr. Ablow's advice to reenergize your marriage is to make time and spend money to create a nice space in the bedroom. Make it a place to make love, not watch TV or do a crossword puzzle.
Practice Honesty and Intimacy
Four of the six themes that seem to recur in successful marriages are truthfulness, honesty, surprise and unpredictability according to advice mined by Elizabeth A. Schmitz, Ed.D. The thing to keep in mind is that familiarity breeds boredom so intimacy can often quash the spontaneity. Create intimacy by being honest about your emotions and fantasies. If something's bothering you, talk about it right away to avoid resentment. If there is something you've always wanted to try in the bedroom, open up to your partner about it. Additional advice to keep the passion burning in your marriage long-term: spend some time away from your partner, or surprise him or her with something new.
