FORGIVE &
FORGETBickering about small
things is common early
on and in the middle of
your marriage, but take
heart: Those kinds of
disputes aren’t destined
to last. A University of
California, Berkeley study
25 years in the making
found that long-term
couples now in their 70s,
80s and 90s show more
tenderness and share
more laughs with one
another than they did in
the tender years of matri-
mony. So next time your
spouse makes your blood
boil, think long term—the
best is yet to come!
