父母教會我們的寶貴的戀情建議
RESPECT EACH OTHER'S SPACE - AND TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER.
尊重彼此的空間--談論重要的事情。Mandy, who has been married for 24 years, said: "Give each other space to be who you are and always try to talk about the stuff that matters - your hopes, dreams, and worries - not just the day-to-day things."
曼迪結婚24年了，她說："給彼此空間做真正的自己，重要的事情要嘗試交流--你的希望、夢想和擔憂--不要只是談論日常瑣事。"NEVER HIDE YOUR EMOTIONS - AND LISTEN TO YOUR PARTNER'S.
不要隱藏自己的情緒--也要傾聽另一半的想法。
"Always, always talk openly with your partner and be a good listener," said Lucy, who is divorced. "Never hide emotions or bury what irritates or upsets you and why. You'll understand each other better if you talk honestly. Honest and open conversation builds trust and strengthens love."
"總是坦誠地和另一半談話，也要做一個好聽衆，"離婚的露西說道。"永遠不要隱藏自己的情緒，也不要將激怒你、惹你不高興的事埋藏於心。如果開誠佈公，你們就會加深對彼此的瞭解。開誠佈公的談話會讓你們互相信任、更愛對方。"
DON'T LET ANIMOSITY DWELL.
不要滿心恨意。"Never go to bed on an argument," said Andrea, who has been with her husband for 32 years.
"牀頭吵架牀尾和，"和丈夫結婚32年的安德里亞說道。BE PATIENT AND WILLING TO COMPROMISE.
要有耐心、願意妥協。"Patience is the number one virtue, and compromise is key," said Simon, who has been married for the last 24 years. "Alternatively, just nod and smile."
"耐心是頭號美德、妥協也十分關鍵，"已婚24年的西蒙說道。"或者，點頭微笑就行。"BE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS KIND.
找對象得找善良之輩。"Find someone that's kind to waiters and waitresses," said Caroline, married 26 years.
"找個對服務員態度友善的對象，"已婚26年的卡洛琳說道。UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN SELF WORTH AS WELL AS YOUR PARTNER'S.
理解自身的價值，同時也要理解另一半的價值。Jake, who has been with his wife for 26 years, said: "The obvious answer is to remember there are two people in a relationship and that both have equal value, so don't be selfish but also don't be subjugated or secondary."
傑克和妻子結婚26年了，他說："顯而易見的答案就是，你要記得感情一直是兩個人的，每個人的價值都是同等的，所以你不能自私、但也不要屈居他人之下。"ACCEPT THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT.
接受吧，人無完人。"Learn to give and take. Accept that nobody's perfect. Love someone warts and all. There's two of you [in a relationship]," said Liz, married 26 years.
"學會互相謙讓。接受人無完人的事實。既要愛一個人的優點，也要愛他的缺點。感情是兩個人的，"已婚26年的利茲說道。RESPECT THEIR OPINIONS AND WHAT THEY DEEM IMPORTANT.
尊重他們的觀點、尊重他們認爲重要的事情。Glenys has been married for 40 years. She said: "Respecting each other is integral to a successful and long-lasting relationship."
格萊尼斯已經結婚40年了，她說："相互尊重是成功的、長久戀情的不可或缺的一部分。"VALUE FAMILY TIME.
重視家庭時刻。Justine, who has been with her partner for over 29 years, said: "Eat dinner together whenever possible."
賈斯汀和另一半在一起29年了，她說："有時間的話要一起吃晚飯。"FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER.
找一些有意思的事消磨時光。"Headphones are a great investment if you want to be together in the evening but can't agree on what to watch. A sense of humour is also important," said Jon, who has been with his partner for 29 years.
"如果你們想要晚上呆在一起，但又對要看的電視達不成一致意見，那就買個耳機吧。有點幽默感也十分重要，"與另一半在一起29年的喬恩說道。
