Secrets to a happy marriage...

[Boo]

Communicate, don't take each other for granted, treat each other with respect & expect respect from each other. Don't focus on the small stuff.

Good advise but time really does move the goal posts, sometimes good but sometimes bad. In my case really bad. Nobody can control the hormone stuff, whether male or female. That is a fact of life which we cannot control OR comment on until we have been there.

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.

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.

simple my dear watson, just another open and shut case of "the moto factor"

Never leave your Thai wife in England while you go to Pattaya alone, Because they have friends there,

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.

Ouch!

The 3 C's

10 years and still plenty to learn.

CCC

[BookMan]

Have similar ambitions/goals before you get married.

Don't fight about money

Compromise

Loyalty to partner

Resist temptations

[Dancealot]

The 3 C's

Cleaning, cooking, chatting.

[Geoff plus 2]

Choose your partner wisely.

Then apply the 3 C's as well as the additional 3 C's

And always.......always remind your wife she is beautiful

Nothing's guaranteed to last for ever but if you follow step 1 carefully while thinking with the correct head engaged......maybe you'll get to grow old together.

I will be retreating to my room now to reflect upon this revelation. I knew I was in the minority but I didn’t know I was entirely alone.

[sms747]

never argue with a woman-you can't win, men have a need to make sense, women are just in it for the aggravation

If that is true then it must follow that most TV members are women.

That's true. I think itchybum at home isn't like this. She's the boss.

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

So true

Hm, nobody mention prenuptual agreement.

[Shancloudy]

True love, friendship, respect each other and always inlove with the same person. Marry only the individual you think you can't live without.

1. Choose your partner wisely. Your partner's looks will almost certainly fade, but character shouldn't.

2. Keep your fly zipped. Once you've stepped outside of your marriage sexually, it's more likely to fall apart--even if you don't get caught.

3. Pick your battles. Sometimes (most of the time?) it's best just to nod and say, "yes, dear". Save the heated discussions for things that really matter.

4. Don't take your partner for granted. Everyone wants to be appreciated, respected, and loved.

5. Enjoy your marriage and your partner and you are more likely to have a happy partner and marriage.

[olfu]

Hm, I think I prefer prostitutes as its cheaper option.

And no fighting, no flowers, no responsibilities.

Pattaya waiting.

[bifftastic]

I would agree with those who say that communication is the key to a happy relationship. With the obvious caveat that you should have something worth communicating

Repeatedly arguing a point only to prove your partner wrong is often counterproductive.

Give the other person space to feel that they have something of their own self intact and separate from you.

Don't waste any energy on jealousy, it's childish and serves no purpose other than to destroy trust.

Be yourself, not who you think you should be.

If your partner can be your friend you should be able to spend many happy years together.

Enjoy each other's company.

Don't marry too quickly.

Get a dog,

[stiggy]

Compromise

Laugh together a lot

Remind your other half you think she is fine daily

Be honest, say what you think no games or BS

Respect each other

Have both common interests and interests of your own

Gee that's a bit of a sad outlook
