Recently I came to appreciate this Buddha's teaching that attachment to thing or person that are by nature impermanent brings suffering. Once you can let go, you can truly be free and at ease. no longer worrying. Because if you are constantly worrying about losing it, it only bring you suffering. What is meant for you, will always be yours. You don't have to worry about others snatching. If the thing is not meant for you, why worry about losing. It is just wasting energy and time. As a Buddhist, I strive to practise the five precepts;
1) To refrain from destroying living creatures.
2) To refrain from taking that which is not given.
3) To refrain from sexual misconduct
4) To refrain from incorrect speech (lying or gossiping)
5) To refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness. (Oops, I only drink wine during wedding dinner)

If you can practise the five precepts, you will be happy. At least, it gives you peace of mind.
I look at people who are happily married for decades are happy because they trust each others. Only trust and commitment to each others help cement happy marriage.
