Whether the advice is to get in good with a jewellery design company or stay out of trouble by thinking before you speak, common and cliche ' marriage advice still applies. It's the man's job to make sure he doesn't do something stupid.



There's lots of trite and cliche ' advice about marriage, but some of it actually is repeated so often because it's totally true. Which pieces of marriage advice appear the most real and real? Let's take a look.



We've scraped the Web hunting for good advice from long term couples, and we came up with these. You may have heard most of them before, but they appear to be truly good advice to us. So here are some pieces of marriage advice â€" all significant but some a bit wittier than others â€" that long term married couples seem to agree on:



Never go to bed mad. Notice this is more correct than the similar phrase "never retire to bed mad". You can go to bed mad and, uh, work it out before you go to sleep, we are told. Kissing good night and reminding your other half that you adore them is also a very good idea. How can you expect a good morning if you start the night off wrong?



Find time for your spouse. It may seem blindingly obvious, but some couples never actually spend special time together. Sitting side by side and watching TV may not count, and the moments spent desperately getting ready for work don't either. Time requires sharing a memorable experience and truly enjoying each other's company.



Accept your spouse. You were attracted in the beginning, and those few flaws didn't seem clear or overwhelming then. If it is her bad fashion sense or his hatred of bathing every day since he doesn't seem to sweat anyway, just get over it.



Purchase a bigger mattress. It's amazing how many couples with expanding waistlines still sleep in a little bed. Try to not add weight, of course, but if you do, purchase a new mattress that will accommodate you. It won't offend your partner. She or he has spotted the issue too. Anyway snoring and cover-hogging aren't as crucial if you have some room to move around.



Be friends first. Maybe it's too late for you now, but the best partners are those who are friends first and lovers second. As you grow old, you'll always need a friend. Things change nonetheless , and having a good lover may become less important.



Count to 10. If you are about to chastise your other half for doing some things wrong, scream as you can't stand your life anymore or simply let her know that her dress isn't flattering, count to 10 before you are saying anything â€" anything whatsoever. Then, you'll have time to engage your grey matter before your mouth begins to move, and that can keep you from saying something offensive that you didn't really mean.



Offer gifts. When you've gotten something wrong, when she's done something right and for each birthday and anniversary, give her a present that reminds her how much you love her. Whether it's a card and flowers for absolutely no reason at all or a good-looking piece of custom-designed jewelry to mark a special anniversary, giving gifts helps you demonstrate love when your actions and words fail you.



These are just a few of many suggestions we found. The final analysis is this: Be sweet, react slowly and do not take your wife or wife for granted.
