Know the things that made their marriage last that long. Ask them how they handle each other even though they are really uncommon from each other.


 


Second. Find your spouse’s weakness. Weakness in the sense that you should know what makes him feel loved. For example, does your wife love to receive flowers? Does your husband love what you cook? Does your wife feels happy when you are helping her with the household chores? Do the things that makes your partner happy. If you are uncertain that this certain thing makes your wife happy or otherwise, ask! Treat each other the way you did when you first fall in love.


 


Third. Go on dates. Going out even on simple dates during common days certainly helps. The things that made you fall in love with each other in the first place should constantly be done.
