Making a Marriage Work

My friend posted this article on her blog here (http://tenacioustaylors.blogspot.com/) and I thought it was a very good article full of little reminders on how to make a marriage work. The actual article is kind of long but I've highlighted the top 10 Keys. If you'd like to read the whole thing here is the link:
