{{With over 15 years of marriage under his belt, actor Will Smith dished out some marriage and relationship advice. }} <\/p>\n
In a recent interview, the 41 year-old actor dropped some valuable knowledge and lessons about love, marriage, and what it takes to keep your man happy:<\/p>\n
{{#If You Marry Your Best Friend, You\u2019re Good}}<\/p>\n
Every man wants to marry his homie, Will says. A lot of women will impress them, but it\u2019s the one they can always laugh with and be themselves with that will ultimately impress them the most. <\/p>\n
If you can be yourselves around each other, 100 percent of the time, and they can make you life like no one else can, you\u2019ll never have a dull moment together.<\/p>\n
{{#Remind Him of What He Has}}<\/p>\n
When you start to feel that you\u2019re nagging your husband to the point of no return and nothing you\u2019re saying is getting through, Will suggests you try a new approach. <\/p>\n
Hold him close, look him right in the eyes, and tell him that you love him, you\u2019re right there, and you always will be, BUT you need him to pick his socks up \u2013 right now. <\/p>\n
As Will puts it, it\u2019s important to remind him that your request is coming from a good place, and what you want is a small thing in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n
{{#All Men Need A Little Space}}<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t give your husband thirty minutes to himself when he first gets home he\u2019ll stop coming home,\u201d Will says, straight up. He says that a wife can say her piece \u201canytime after that.\u201d <\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s home needs to feel like a happy place, and it won\u2019t if you\u2019re \u201cgreeted with negativity\u201d every time you enter the door.<\/p>\n
{{#Focus on Balance and Excitement Always}}<\/p>\n
According to Will and Jada\u2019s way of thinking about marriage, maintaining a happy union isn\u2019t just about making time for one another, it\u2019s about making the time count too. Excitement and mystery are everything, he said. <\/p>\n
Surprise them, let them know you love them, laugh together \u2013 whatever it takes to put a smile on their face.<\/p>\n
