Marriage Advice (in the Sept Ensign)

-Never say anything negative about each other in public.
-Put your spouse's wants before your own.
-Never let a day go by without saying "I love you"
-Never let a day go by without praying together
-An accomplishment for one person in the marriage is a victory for both.
-Don't discuss important issues after 10pm (I can testify to this!!! arguments escalate when your tired.)
-Do common household tasks together (cooking, dishes, making the bed)
-Attend the temple as often as possible
-When you can either be "right" or have "peace", choose peace.
-Keep the marriage within the marriage (don't turn to others before you turn to each other)

Our stake president's advice when we got married was "don't put anything but the Lord before your spouse, not even children."

What was the best marriage advice you received?
