6 Simple tips for a long, happy love relationship...
 

Does true love even stand a chance these days?

Given today's superficial dating games and out-of-control divorce rates, is there still hope for an eternal love story?

We believe it! And here are some simple, easy-to-follow tips you can use in your everyday life to help strengthen your love bond and shoot for "forever":

1. Go on a date at least once a week (no kids allowed). Make romance a priority in your lives. Your children will learn how to become loving adults by watching you two today.

2. "Agree to Disagree"... marriage is about love and commitment, but not about having the same opinions on everything. Keep your own religious, political and philosophical ideas. Differing viewpoints keep things interesting.

3. Maintain physical intimacy... continue to express your love by holding hands, hugging and kissing (even in front of your kids and family). Affectionate gestures impact on a deeper level.

4. Maintain emotional intimacy... continue to share your deepest thoughts, hopes, fears, joys and sorrows with your lover. Rely on each other for honest advice.

5. Eat together... never underestimate the bonding that takes place at the dinner table.

6. Pray together... nothing binds a couple together stronger than sharing their faith.
