Let's face it, to make a marriage work, over the long term, is not that easy. We all have our faults and no doubt we can all be hard to live with from time to time. It is possible to have a long and successful marriage and in this article I will be explaining how you can make this happen.

Compromise is the main ingredient that people need to adopt to enable them to have a successful marriage. Accepting your partners annoying little habits and traits is a worth while and prudent thing to do. You can spend your time attempting to change their ways however this is likely to prove to be a waste of time and could lead to a lot of resentment from your partner.

After you have been married for a number of years the passion and excitement tends to drop. This is where problems can arise as each partner starts to take the other one for granted. At this stage an extra effort is required to show just how much you still want, need and love your spouse. You could organise a romantic weekend break or possibly buy them a nice present.

I also believe in making a big fuss of my partner's family. They may be people you do not particularly want to spend too much time with however if you can make this effort then you are sure to gain some much welcome brownie points.

Show an interest in your spouse's hobbies and career. Again in reality you may have no interest in these subjects but you need to show that you are; a type of act some would say.

Regularly tell your spouse how much you love them and about how attractive they look. As we reach a certain age we start to feel less appealing and our self-esteem can start to lower, having these compliments can keep your partner feeling good about themselves. They will also continue to feel valued and cherished.

These are just a few simple but beneficial tips that can ensure that your marriage stays strong.
