advice?

* remember to always support and stick up for each other in public as much as possible

* be best friends and enjoy spending time together, but do not neglect your own life as well, and do not even begrudge your spouse's friends/life.

* communicate as much as possible, but be reasonable about it too

* jealousy is not worth it. If you bust your spouse checking someone out or someone else checking them out, as long as no one is acting on it, no harm. be flattered and accept it happens.

* be honest with each other, but also remember diplomacy with that honesty - in other words, don't lie, but be nice when telling the truth.

* be fair with each other and appreciate the things the other does right instead of dwelling on the things they do wrong or don't do (obviously within reason)

* on a related note, share responsibilities and tasks when possible.

* don't take each other for granted. It's too easy to do, and is related to the last two points.
