Long Lasting Marriages Have Common Elements

There was a survey taken of long lasting marital partners and certain qualities were common:

Good sex

Let partner know you are in pain; ask for attention you need

Don't take everything as criticism

Always have something to look forward to

Be open--say what's on your mind

Help each other with chores

Support each other

Talk nicely to each other

Nurture your love

Pick your battles

Don't be passive-agressive

Stimulate each other intellectually

Exhibit humor

What do you think about these? Do you have any other things to add to this list?
