into Their 50+-year Relationships
MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ), one of the largest providers of senior living services with more than 450 communities worldwide, shared the results of a recent survey conducted among couples who have been married 50+ years and spent more than five decades of special Valentine's Days together.
Sunrise communities will mark this year's celebration of love with
their own Valentine's Day dances, receptions and senior proms. To give
perspective to these special occasions, residents were asked what they
attribute to the longevity and success of their relationships. Results
revealed their top ten secrets to a long-lasting and satisfying marriage:
1. Don't Go to Bed Angry
While many couples acknowledged that at times, they went to bed
annoyed, they didn't allow their anger to linger long.
2. Share "I Love Yous" Regularly
Some husbands and wives remember to share these words before going to
work each morning while others found it a part of their nightly
routine.
3. Kiss Each Other Goodnight
Almost all of Sunrise's couples noted the importance of sharing love
and affection regularly and what better way to keep a connection then
a kiss goodnight?
4. Have an Argument Every Once in While
One husband remarked that even though they may have disagreed, "she
never packed her bags and left" - small misunderstandings are natural
and working through them together is important.
5. Respect and Trust Each Other
