After interviewing more than 400 people

ok...

edit: Her advice on keeping am marriage strong is as thin as the article itself. Ugh. There is no magic pill to take when you're in your 40s to make your marriage strong.

Add novelty to your routine. Go dancing or rent an RV.

Yah - buy a gas guzzling money pitt with debt or your retirement fund. See how that "money problem" helps to strengthen your marriage. While I'd agree that some fun, novelty, and spontaneity may be good for a marriage... if you start during "mid-life" it may very well be too little, too late.

Try to think as a team. Studies show that those do so are happier and less likely to get divorced after 20 years as those who think in terms of "I" or "me."

If you're not already doing this... god help you.

Focus on building trust, so that your partner becomes your safe harbor, not a source of threat. Studies show you may not only save your marriage but also change your brain.

So you want your partner of 10-20 years to start trusting you now? oof.

...

Look - some of these bubble gum flavored tips are halfway decent for newlyweds regardless of age... but seriously? buy an RV?
