One of the secrets to a happy marriage is luck. Another is being best friends. Another is having a good fight ever now and then, you have to care to fight, and then forget it. Sex is always important, but after a year or so, not the most important part of marriage. Companionship, friendshp and being loved and loving back is.

It is the little things that count, and the little things that loom large when things begin to sour. When you care about someone else at least as much as you care about yourself the relationshp is bound to flourish.

I strongly disagree with this. People who fight are likely to say things that they don't mean, wouldn't say otherwise and will regret later. I almost always think fights are foolish, upsetting and embarrassing and generally not the way to solve problems effectively. If you disagree with this, tell me where I'm wrong.
