The 10 Secrets of Happy Couples
They might be 30 or 75. They come in all colors, shapes, sizes and income brackets. It doesn't matter how long they've been together. Whatever the demographics, when you see a happy couple, you just know it!

A long-term relationship has ups and downs, and expecting it will be all sunny and roses all the time is unrealistic.
2. Work on the relationship. An untended garden develops weeds that can ultimately kill even the heartiest plants. And so it is with relationships.
