Tip of the Day: Traditions are shining moments in a marriage—they give you celebrations to look forward to. Honor established rituals that were passed down from both of your families (especially holiday-related ones), and create new traditions of your own. Choose two or three traditions to maintain that you'll both stay enthusiastic about.

Your tradition doesn’t have to be something big, like renewing your wedding vows every six months. It could be something small, like choosing a holiday ornament that represents your biggest adventure or goal of the year, hanging up mistletoe in your home or counting down the days until Christmas or Hannukah together.
