  3. nice article dok...

    tp menurut gw sih yg penting lagi adalah:
    1. saling mencintai
    2. Terus dan terus belajar untuk mencintai dan tetap mencintai pasangan kita (maklum manusia cenderung merasa bosan tp cinta tdk akan membosankan).
    3. Berjiwa besar untuk selalu menerima apapun kekurangan pasangan kita yang menyebalkan sebagai sesuatu yang unik.
    4. Jangan pernah membandingkan apa yang sudah kita lakukan buat pasangan kita dan apa yg belum dilakukan olh pasangan untuk kita.
    5. Selalu berusaha mencari jalan tengah disetiap perbedaan pendapat.
    6. Jangan pernah merasa lebih pinter, lebih dewasa, lebih bijak dan lebih lebih lainnya dari pasangan kita.
    7. Setiap ada permasalahan dan perselisihan segera netralisir emosi dan katakan dalam hati kita bahwa kita tidak mau menyakiti hati pasangan kita...
    8. Dan yang terpenting point no 46 itu dok... Pray each other daily

    weleh banyak juga...
    ga bermaksud menyaingi lhoo... :D
