10 Rules to Live a Happy Married Life

Add fragrance to your love life...

1. Live and Let Live, don't control your partner. Allow him to do the things he likes to do.

2. Don't give him up at any cost.

3. Stop talking ill/bad about your partner and his family.

4. Build your partner rather than blaming about his short comings. Pray for those areas for him to change and leave it to god.

5.  Trust your partner. When you are out in public with your partner, only say things that build him up and affirm him, not critical things. 

6. Be the first to appreciate your partner even for a smallest achievement.

7.Stop nagging/bossing your partner..Make him feel the home is a peaceful, comfortable place for him to stay..

8.Encourage your partner with sweet words and show a loving attitude..

9.Get to know your partner's favourite recipes, restaurants, clothing etc. Surprise him with his favourite recipe once in a week..

10. Last but not least, treat your partner's family as yours.. Dont say a word bad about his family eventhough they are not good to you..Before you tend to say something bad, put yourself in his shoes and see how you would feel.. A loving word to your partner's folks and siblings will make a huge difference in your life..

3 and 10 are the same thing; 3 and 4 mostly overlap.

9 assumes that you are the chef. Sexist assumption.

2 basically says that if he batters you, stay with him, and it\'s one of the more useless pieces of advice (What if he batters you? What if you are utterly miserable with him?)

The whole list screams \"be a good little quiet woman who knows her place\". It gives a lot of information on how to continue to be married, but nothing on why that would be \"happy\" for you.

I am betting this was written by a man, because if it was written by a woman I am suspecting she sublimates so much of herself to keep the marriage together that she doesn\'t even know that she\'s miserable.

Umm, comment number one was obviously made by a woman who has been burned in relationships.
That list goes for men too. Perhaps more so. Just substitute \"her\" where it says \"his\".
Shoot, I sure hope my guy makes my favorite dish for me at LEAST once a week. I can\'t cook to save my life, but I love home-cooked meals. Chicken pot-pie out of the freezer just doesn\'t cut it.
And out in public? Don\'t get me started.

Yep, relationships are what you make them. Two-way street, honey. Guys need to start picking up the slack and their ladies more like queens. Think I\'m going to print this one and put it on his pillow.

You might want to zip forward from the 1950\'s and join the rest of us having relationships in the 2000\'s.

awesome. I'm going to follow this to the letter, starting ... now!

I agree with the post 100% as well as this being a two way street. Also someone needs stripslashes() around the posts.

(I just vomited a little in my mouth.) This list is antiquated and does not reflect the realities of modern relationships. Seven years into a warm, happy, healthy marriage and I can only offer two pieces of advice: choose wisely and be kind.

I too VOMITED a bit from reading these comments!

Maybe if you LADIES spent less time reading on the internet and MORE time attempting NOT to be jilted, angry man-hating lesbians... Well... You know.

As was said already... substitute her for his and it goes BOTH ways!

No need to start bashing right away!

WOW!

Gee... I wonder WHY you have had problems in the past...

Think it over!

"Maybe if you LADIES spent less time reading on the internet and MORE time attempting NOT to be jilted, angry man-hating lesbians... Well... You know."

Hey that's insulting!
To lesbians. They don't hate men, they just like women.

You mean a bitter old hag! =D
I'm a women and I see nothing wrong with this list.
It's sweet, feminist are so full of crap. They don't
think of themselves as the equal sex but as the master
sex, and they're wrong.

Yes, Tia! I agree. Women should just stay in the kitchen where they belong! Feminism has no place in our society. I think women's right to vote should be rescinded, as we all know that women aren't really capable of that level of complex thought. Feminists are SOO full of crap! Women should not be allowed to have jobs outside the home or own property. As a matter of fact they should BE property. Women should be kept from any kind of education, since it is wasted on their feeble minds anyway. Their number one priority should be to their husbands first, then children...

Feminists have completely changed our society from this ideal (female subservience) and created a society of VILE EQUALITY. Disgusting! Women should really know their place. Feminism is bad for society!

(For those who are sarcasm impaired: Feminists have brought us these changes in the status of women. Feminism is not "man hating lesbians". Feminism is equality for all. Feminists have pushed for women's rights not to be property and modern women tend to be shamefully unaware of that, and tend to side with those who would oppress them. People are not stereotypes, feminist aren't man hating lesbians anymore than Jews are greedy, or blacks are lazy. These are just vile stereotypes and intelligent people should know better.)
