7 Great Tips From a Couple Happily Married 50+ Years

At The Love Club, we believe in learning from couples who have built real, lasting love. As an online singles community that also hosts singles events worldwide, we hear from people of all ages who want to know the secrets to building a strong marriage. If you are looking for an alternative to dating apps and want a relationship that lasts decades, here are seven timeless tips from a couple happily married for more than 50 years.

1. Do little favors for each other

Love grows through small, thoughtful acts. If you are getting yourself a glass of water, grab one for your partner too. If you are stopping for gas, run inside to pick up their favorite candy. If you notice the car is low on fuel, take it for an errand and fill up the tank. These everyday gestures show care and consideration, and they add up to big love over time.

2. Cool down before you fight

Arguments happen, but how you handle them matters. When you are angry, take a walk alone and do not talk about it until you cool down. If you cannot agree on what you are fighting about, try writing letters to each other. Reading your partner’s words from a place of empathy helps you understand their perspective without the heat of the moment.

3. Put your relationship before the kids

Happy kids are raised by parents with a solid foundation. Your relationship comes first because it sets the example for what love should look like. Prioritize date nights, one on one time, and quality moments together. When you nurture your marriage, your children thrive in a stable, loving environment.

4. Dance it out

Put on music and dance in the kitchen or the living room. You do not have to be good at it, you just have to enjoy it together. Dancing builds intimacy, lighthearted fun, and shared memories.

5. Always have each other’s backs

Never talk badly about your partner to others, even if you are upset. Protecting each other’s reputation shows loyalty and respect. A true partnership means lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.

6. Divorce was not an option

This couple faced challenges like any other, but they approached them as a team. Because there was no abuse or infidelity, divorce was never considered. By removing divorce as an option, they committed to working through disagreements together. Entering marriage with the mindset that divorce is not an easy escape creates resilience and long term commitment.

7. Keep some mystery

Even after decades together, it is important to keep romance alive. Some things are better left private, like shutting the bathroom door. A little mystery keeps attraction alive and reminds your partner that you still see each other as lovers, not just roommates.
