Gentlemen, court your wife every single day. Romance her publicly and privately, for a happy marriage and a happy life.
If this seems strange to you, start practicing every day. Practice makes perfect.

… those nations with the highest levels of depression and suicide over the last 50 years also happen to have been the most irreligious.
