Lessons can be learned from the old-fashioned ways of not displaying every part of our relationship on social media.” She tells me doing so protects the sacred bond of marriage, by keeping it from becoming something that simply plays out online. 

As time goes by, there’s no argument that no marriage is perfect but after being together for years and years, these couples have gotten a thing or two figured out. Whether you’re engaged, you’ve been married for 3 years or you’ve been together for 13 years, honesty, empathy, (and apparently a little texting and a bit of posting a status in social media, if you prefer) goes a long way in any relationship. 

Every couple differs in their life perspectives and what works from their great-grandparents or BFFs and husbands, could be the complete opposite of what helps you and your significant other. But that doesn’t imply that you can’t learn from all the lovebirds! Each long-term marriage has its own secret to success, and hearing tips from others may inspire you to find your own.

Posting on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter are all optional.
