The 50 Secrets to a Happy Marriage

A new survey of 2,000 married couples came up with the secrets to a happy marriage . . . and even though none of them are actually ‘secrets,’ it’s probably still worth running through them as a refresher.  Here’s the top 10 . . .

1.  Trusting each other.

2.  Having the same sense of humor.

3.  Always being honest with each other.

4.  Remembering birthdays and anniversaries.

5.  Accepting each other’s faults.

6.  Compromising.

7.  Saying “I love you” regularly.

8.  Knowing when to say sorry.

9.  Being able to laugh at each other.

10.  Having a similar outlook on life.

 

The survey actually did a top 50, but I’ll just do the highlights…

12.  Always kiss each other good night.

20.  Regular sex.  Yep, it only came in 20th.

26.  Arguing once in a while.

27.  Still making an effort to look good for each other.

33.  Having two TVs.

41.  Defriending all your exes on Facebook.

44.  Separate bathrooms.

48.  Keeping a secret stash of money the other person doesn’t know about.

49.  Not going to the bathroom in front of each other.
