1. Don't dish to friends or family. It's so tempting and sometimes you really just feel the need to vent about your neglectful, bastard husband, but once you start to voice his faults, they'll have a tendency to grow bigger in your own mind. Plus, your friends will almost always be biased towards you and serve to spur your anger on rather than stifle it.
2. Stop stealing the covers! No, seriously. A good night's sleep is important for happiness, so if your partner is up all night fighting for comfort and decides you're the one to blame, resentment will harbor. That also means you shouldn't hijack pillows or attempt to spoon for so long that you're both suffocating due to lack of personal space. Sometimes, these little things build up to the point that couples can't even stand to look at each other.
3. Don't live separate lives. Everyone needs alone time and time to just hangout with their own friends, those things aren't a problem. What is a problem is forgetting to take time to reevaluate your life (yes, singular) as a unit. Every once in a while you need to make sure you're still striving for the same things, that you still share interests and that you enjoy spending time with each other. The more you separate these things from your relationship, the more likely you are to lose interest in it.
4. Don't have separate bank accounts. No, I'm not naive. I realize that people do split up and that oftentimes, one person may ends up losing everything. However, if all aspects of your livelihood are intertwined, splitting up will be a lot more of a pain in the butt. If you have your own money socked away, it's easier to get pissed off and decide to leave rather than sticking around to work it out. I know it may be controversial, but try to have a little faith.
5. Stop talking so much. I'm pretty sure this is the hardest rule not to break for most women. We always want to talk it out, but sometimes we need to just shut up and hug it out instead. Especially if you find yourself complaining about the toilet seat being up every day or you're constantly rehashing old squabbles. Pick your battles and let the rest go. Most men respond better to signs of affection than to constant nagging, so just say your piece, kiss and make up.
