Seven Secrets to a Great Marriage - Simple things matter in love and marriage:

1. It Takes Two To Tango - In great marriages, two become one. It is not you and me, it is WE! They are a strong team together. They form a strong marital relationship without losing their individual identities.

2. There Are No Sacred Cows - In great marriages, couples talk about anything and everything. There are no sacred cows – no secrets. Successful couples are each other’s best friends.

3. Follow the Golden Rule - In great marriages, couples understand that you do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Great marriages show mutual love and respect to each other on an everyday basis.

4. Your Body Is Your Castle - In great marriages, couples understand that taking care of yourself in a health sense is not sufficient. You must also promote health in your spouse. To live until “death do us part” requires a mutual concern about good health, diet, exercise and looking your best.

5. Fill a Joint Return - In great marriages, it is not YOUR money and MY money, it is OUR money. Their financial goals are developed together and they are mutually committed to achieving them.

6. Touch Often - In great marriages, touching each other multiple times per day is the norm. A touch acknowledges the presence of the one you love and says I love you so much I simply must touch you.

7. Never Be Bored - In great marriages, love is characterized by variety and spice. Great marriages are exciting, never boring, and are full of unpredictable things. Don’t always do that which is predictable.


These are the seven secrets that thread through all successfully marriages. Marriages thrive and survive more than anything else because of the quality of the relationship between husband and wife. Solid relationships can overcome almost all obstacles. You can now learn how to implement these powerful seven secrets to strengthen your relationship and have a Great Marriage
