Discover Relationship MasteryFamily and relationship experts Linda and Richard Eyre know the secrets to a successful marriage. Married for more than 40 years, they have nine children and describe every year as better than the last. SUCCESS asked them for their best marriage tips. Here’s what they said:Continue the courtship. We try to go on a date every Friday night. We have done it since we were married. We go alone, we talk, we share, we express love in the same romantic ways we did when we first fell in love.Paraphrase back. (So, what you are saying is...) Before one of us can make the next point or argument, he or she must first paraphrase or repeat back the point just made to the other person’s satisfaction. Then we make our point. This defuses disagreements pretty fast and hones the quality of empathy, which is the most important tool in a marriage.Keep no money secrets. Share everything. Have no secrets. Do joint, not separate, accounts.
Plan together.Set relationship goals. Write a description of your marriage five years out. We each do this separately, and we do not share the descriptions with each other. These represent our ideas of what an ideal relationship could be, and instead of waiting for the other to do something about it, we both work at it in our own way, reading our description goal often, as each of us unilaterally tries to bring the relationship closer to that ideal.Commitment. It’s the one-word secret to a successful marriage.Read more about the Eyres in SUCCESS magazine’s "How I Do It" column this month. Full story at SUCCESS.com.

your feelings will lead you to their source. Only through emotions can

Our Mystery Man also had this to say:



"“There are two big forces at work,

external and internal. We have very

little control over external forces

such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods,

disasters, illness and pain. What

really matters is the internal force.

How do I respond to those disasters?

Over that I have complete control."
