1. Marry the right person. There is only one way you will know if the person you are dating is the right person to marry and that is by spending time together. 与合适的人结婚。只有一种方法你就会知道如果你约会的人是合适的人,那是花时间在一起。

2. Make your marriage your top priority3. If you are married, there is nothing that should take precedence over your marriage and that includes your children and career. 让你的婚姻当作你的首要任务。如果你结婚了,没有什么应该优先于你的婚姻,包括你的孩子和事业。
If you are committed to building a long-term healthy marriage, 如果你致力于构建一个长期健康的婚姻,
make a vow5 to each other that you will never say the word divorce or anything else that would leave the other person to believe you are not 100% committed to your marriage. 让彼此的誓言,你将永远不会说离婚这个词或者会让对方相信你不是100%致力于你的婚姻的其他什么东西。
And what we'll also share with you is that we have been married twice. 我们还想跟大家分享的一件事就是我们结婚了两次 。
The first time we got married we were married for a short period of time. Three months. 我们第一次的婚姻维持了很短时间，只有三个月。
And what happened one day is we got into a fight.One of us said the word divorce and the other said"Okay,great." 当时是因为我们吵架了，然后我们其中的一个说要离婚，另外一个说“好啊，太好了”。
And before we know we have signed paperwork and we were diroced. So,just never bring it up.It's just something you don't want to discuss. 我们还没有反应过来离婚协议书已经签完了，我们离婚了。所以，不要说离婚这个词。它不是适合人们讨论的话题。
When we first got married we argued over every little ridiculous thing. 当我们第一次结婚我们认为每一个荒谬的事情。
We then made the decision that we would no longer argue about meaningless things. 然后,我们决定,我们将不再争论毫无意义的事情。
Now when one of us bring up an issue, we both know it was a serious issue and we take it seriously. 现在,当我们提出一个问题,对方都是重要的事，我们就都会重视它。

This is HUGE! You wanna get dressed up, get out of the house and enjoy a special time together. 这是伟大的,打扮的漂亮，走出房子,享受一个在一起特殊时光。
You don't have to have a lot of money or spend a lot of money to do this. 要做到这一点你不需要很富有，也不需要花很多钱。
During these times together show an interest in the things that are important to each other and avoid talking about subjects that could create tension8. 在这些时光关注感兴趣的事情是很重要的,避免谈论紧张的话题
