Secrets to a happy marriage...

[krisb]

Tip from my Grandfather, 90 years old, married for 64 of those years to my Grandmother....

Never go to bed angry at each other.

Simple but great tip I think.

Anyone else got any?...

Don't get married.

[transam]

Don't get married.

Do tend to agree, BUT it's what us chaps do, unfortunately many legal tables have been turned and so stuff is certainly not what it was. Now it is a gamble where ever one resides.

I dont understand what Love means, I see them a playful Doll. When the doll is cracked or broken or too old or too boring , i could always get another one. Easy Come , Easy Go.

As Liz said to Kate, "Be faithful to your husband and don't piss me off."

[nonthaburial]

The OP asked "what are the secrets to a happy marriage" And I concur with his statement, but slightly different to what my Father preached to me "Don't sleep on an argument" but reading so many egotistical responses on this thread I have realised that arrogance and not love is obvious.

These are the people who will be bitching that my Thai wife ripped me off.

Marriage is a two way street, not as it would appear here whoever drives the bigger vehicle on the street is the Macho, skinny, alcoholic, piss poor financially but still the king because he is non Thai.

Comeuppance will surely be served and fully deserved.

Flame if you wish but look in the mirror first

[CharlieH]

Trust, relationships are about trust, dont lose it, once its gone, your relationship will soon follow.

[itchybum]

live apart.

[bigbamboo]

The old adage that still stands the test of time is to keep your eyes wide open before marrying and your ears half closed afterwards.

[Songhua]

Nod a lot.

[itchybum]

Nod a lot.

I can't sleep more than 9 hours.

Choose your partner wisely.

What you mean dont go to a Pattaya bar,and choose a wife.

yes farang so arrogant that they believe they've got a monopoly on thai wives ripping them off read this http://nationmultimedia.com/national/Shooters-wife-had-the-key-to-his-safe-Kasikornbank-30214273.html

Chakkrit said on Wednesday that he had filed a police complaint against his wife Dr Nithawadi Phucharoenyos and the bank's Sukhaphibal III branch for theft, saying valuables worth Bt60 million had gone missing from his safe... adding that CCTV images showed Chakkrit's wife asking to open the safe... The former sportsman, who was in jail for alleged assault and domestic violence,..

be careful out there guys.

A happy marriage is too trivial.

A forced marriage can be happy in a way. A love marriage can be happy in another.

I prefer: Good marriage.

Yes, that might be a good starting point but I would go further.

Perhaps I am naive but I tend to think it helps if both individuals can speak each other’s language, at something above preschool level. A relationship based entirely on grunts and gesticulations, doesn’t look very promising in my opinion.

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, don't think that is quite true. My wife and I went from the stone age grunt language to speaking English together. Took a few years but we got there. All that time, and still do, have a cuddle (yes cuddle) every morning.

In my opinion there is nooooooooooooooo magic key to marriage success, cos we all change as we get older, every one of us, and sometimes that change is not compatible. I got the T-shirt(s) from a past life.

[villagefarang]

Weeeeeeeeeeell, I understand I hold a minority position on the importance of language and communication, so I wasn’t expecting the grunters to agree with me. I am also willing to concede that many couples are better off, not understanding each other.

[canman]

Understand and accept the following truth:

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument

Meeeeeeeeeeeeee a grunter, , heaven forbid..................... ............ Seems we have a different perspective on Venus and Mars.
