"1) Just do it. If something’s lying around, if dishes need to be done, if garbage needs to be taken out, if the table needs to be set, the car needs to be washed…just do it, no need to discuss it or ask for credit.2) Say thank you for everything.3) Keep the sex frequent.4) Respect your partner's opinion; it’s probably better than yours anyway.5) Keep active and have mutual interests. We play tennis together and not together, we lift weights together and not together, we have friends together and not together.6) Everybody’s an individual, but mostly we are a couple.7) Sing and laugh every day.OK, that’s enough."
