Entrepreneurs Lisa and Tom Bilyeu, from California, revealed the life lessons they learned over their marriage, including having 'sex often' and 'forgive mistakes fast'.
The pair, who are the co-founders of billion dollar health brand Quest Nutrition known for its protein bars, shared a picture of themselves holding a whiteboard with their nine pieces of advice for a successful relationship.
With intimacy taking the lead, the other rules included 'communicate obsessively', 'lift each other up', 'be honest', 'be a good leader and follower', 'hold each other to a high-a** standard', and 'make your marriage the highest priority'.
'There are so many lessons we have learnt in our 17 years of marriage. And one Instagram post just ain't gonna cover it all so I wanted to choose one to go deep on - number four,' Lisa said.
'When you love someone so damn much all you want to do is see them happy. Seeing Tom smile and laugh is literally one of my most favorite things on earth.
'And so knowing that what you are about to say is going to do the exact opposite? Well my instincts are always to just keep it to myself. But in not saying it, for Tom and I, is as bad as lying.'
Her husband also praised his wife in a gushing post, alongside their nine rules, on Instagram, saying: 'My marriage to Lisa is my highest priority.
'Why? Because nothing has given me more joy, ever. All the money in the world can't come close to having someone who lifts you up and pushes you to be better. My wife is my all-time favorite human,' he said.
'She is absolutely ride or die. And together, we have come up with a lot of rules, lessons, tips, and tricks for making your marriage the best thing in your life.'
The couple's post has since gone viral, with thousands of people praising the pair for giving them hope for their own relationship.
