One big issue I rarely see mentioned is how much worse modern society is for long-term couples, in many ways. While this doesn't give us any direct actionable advice, accepting it reframes the struggle of the couple against the world instead of just the classic "work on yourself", and that can lead to better cooperation. Some other things being harder before ironically maybe us better at accepting that sometimes situations end with nobody getting what they want, and learning how to reach "good enough".
