The fact that the Baby Boomer generation has been able to maintain marriage over such a long period of time can be almost like a myth to many couples today. Though the social and economic environment has radically changed, the essential patterns that went into decades of partnership success have become eternal and incredibly efficient. They are not secrets, but rather purposeful and ongoing habits that can make two people into a very cohesive unit, and that the commitment is constructed not so much about grand love, but of rather mundane and continuing striving. They placed the value of stability first and endured hardships of finances and family and recognised that, in order to be in this partnership the extinguishing attribute must not only be mutual respect but individual space as well. By examining these twelve habits, the current couples have a strong guideline on how to create a long lasting and very fulfilling life together.
