It only makes sense that you should use inspiration from people around you. If you have a friend or family member who has a relationship that is truly fantastic, take the time to ask them how they make it work. Obviously, since every couple is different you should pick and choose what will work for you, but there is nothing better then free advice.
In recent weeks I have pretty much asked everyone I know about their relationships, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It has been great to learn what led to the "spark" and how it evolved into a relationship. One common consistency between all the healthy relationships was the fact that communication was the most important thing to them.
I recently read an article about the oldest living couple. They have been married for 85 years and now reside in James City, NJ. They say there isn't one secret to longevity in a relationship, but they recommend arguing at least once a day. I'm going to go ahead and say that that's pretty good advice as long as its constructive communication. Don't pick at someone just to have a conversation. This couple certainly inspires me!
