Dear Cutie,

I have been married for 24 years and I am still working on it. How do you do it? Stay happy?

Signed,
Trying Hard

Dear Trying Hard,

My best advice is living one day at a time and remembering all the little things that make you happy to be with your partner.

Relationships evolve. What was needed to make a happy marriage when we were newlyweds are not the same things that we look for twenty and thirty years into the relationship.

In a marriage, both partners continue to grow. The best thing you can offer is your unconditional support and acceptance, wrapped in love for the person who shares your life.

Love,
Cutie
