What do you think is a valuable quality or strategy for cultivating a long-lasting positive relationship? It doesn't have to be specific to marriage. Many of the same qualities and strategies are required for any kind of loving relationship.
Of course, the list is long, but one thing I think is important is to keep your cool when you are upset and to never deliberately say anything hurtful.
What do you think is important? Let's see if we can make a good list and then I'm going to pick one that I know I could improve upon and then work on it over the next little while. Will you join me?

I learned in my family relations class in college that you always put the needs of the other person before your own. If they are also putting your needs before their own then you are both taken care of.
I think positive communication. Making sure that our loved ones(friends included) know why we love and value them. I try to tell my children each night what I saw them doing well that day and I always remind them of their divine nature.
Same with my husband, I try to consistently stroke is ego if you will. I don't mean that negatively. I sincerely think that men sometimes carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and I know that sometimes I forget to acknowledge all that J does for our family so I try to support him by recognizing his efforts, verbally and in other ways ;)lol j/k... Had to end with a joke because HUMOR is essential in any relationship. Trying to find the humor in things often helps to relieve any stressful situation!
