My Advise for a Long and Lasting Relationship

1.  No matter your common ground NOT to get married---ASK HER ANYWAY.

2.  Continue to court and flirt with her even after you're married.

3.  Know her bad side and stay clear of it like a plague!

4.  Contradict her only if you have an iron clad defense for your position; otherwise, SHUT UP.

5.  Be sensitive to the needs of your partner---PROVIDE for her unspoken needs.

6.  Correlative to #1 and #5:  MAYBE, IKAW NA ANG BAHALA, and EWAN KO, may actually mean YES---make an effort to know the difference (facial expression, verbal intonation, and body language is key).

7.  When she says NO---take it at face value (especially if you're asking permission to go out with the guys).

8.  Correlative to #7:  If you decide to go against her NO, make sure you bring her a present that would melt her heart into forgiving you.  

     Note:  This may only be applicable to the RICH types; otherwise, NEVER attempt to do this.

9.  Make an effort to make her laugh.

10.  Always tell her how beautiful she is.  

11.  If you can't do any the above mentioned advise or if you see that your better half does not appreciate this effort---I suggest you get yourself a new partner.
