- What makes love last a lifetime? Affection? Yep. Respect? Sure. But a great marriage is not just about what you have. It's about what you do to make a relationship stronger, safer, more caring and committed. Here's how to make your "forever" fantastic.

Fighting is the big problem every couple has to deal with. That's because fights will always come up, so every couple needs to learn how to fight without tearing each other apart.
Fighting right doesn't just mean not throwing produce; it means staying focused on the issue at hand and respecting each other's perspective. Couples that fight right also find ways to defuse the tension, often with humor. Even if you fight a lot, when you can find a way to turn fights toward the positive - with a smile, a quick apology, an expression of appreciation for the other person - the storm blows away fast, and that's what matters.
