Very well written with key points about successful marriages. I have been happily married myself for 11 years this month(with ideally decades ahead to enjoy). I have realized it takes commitment and find it provoking that you need to focus on the "mundane" moments along with the uplifting moments.

One part I have found to work well to is giving yourself and your spouse plenty of "breathing room" to also have your own lives. This is simply if my wife and I both go out with our own groups of friends separately once a month or so while also pursuing many hobbies separately as well as what we do together.

Another part is just learning to appreciate and accept your spouse's annoying habits or idiosyncracies(within reason). You're going to be getting to know one another more and more through the long haul so don't sweat the small stuff.
