I've gotten through in the past by just ignoring the problems and not saying a word to keep the peace while unknown resentments build up..Probably not the best advice. 4951

Haven't been married all that long, but we talk about anything that bothers us as soon as possible. If we are in public we wait until we are alone. I find if I keep things in for awhile it becomes a much bigger issue than it should be. 4951

Ok - I'm laughing here!
 
But @Fallon advice is, by far, the one that makes the most sense.

Make important decisions a team matter.I consider my sweet spouse of 48 years to be a gift from God, and respect her accordingly.Do everything 100/100%. 50/50% relationships just don't seem to make it long term.And, most important- shower together once in a while. Only way to get a really clean back. 4951

Date night. Romantic weekend. Don't just tell your SO you love them , they want to feel it. Don't bottle everything up, tell them if something is bothering you. Get it out and move on. Everything doesn't have to be a right/wrong issue. Find something you both like to do. You never know when heaven will take them from you. 4951
