Habit that will make your Marriage stronger
Posted on
Every newlywed hopes for a strong, loving marriage. After years of marriage, couples can fall into routines that focus more on taking care of the household than building a strong connection you’re your spouse.
Building a strong marriage does not happen overnight. It takes a daily commitment to let your spouse know how much they mean to you. Here are five habits that will make your marriage stronger.
Say I Love you several times a day.
It’s a little thing that costs nothing but speaks volumes. Human beings are creatures that need to feel loved and cared for. Telling your spouse that you love them reassures them of your commitment to them. It also makes you feel good to express how much you care for your spouse. In a marriage, you cannot say “I Love You” too many times, so find an
occasion each day to tell your spouse you love them.
Spend Quality time together daily.
Take time each day to enjoy each other’s company. Quality time requires interacting with your spouse in actions and words. At the end of the day, you may be tired from work. Rather than sit in front of the TV or computer, snuggle on the couch with your spouse. Sit and talk about the high points of your day. The time you spend with your spouse should be a time of
loving and caring that bonds you together as a couple.
Make a Physical Romantic Connection every chance you get.
When spouses go too long without a sexual physical connection, they lose that connection. Not every connection has to be a long evening of lovemaking. Have a quickie in the morning or the shower. Give your spouse a deep loving kiss before bed. Ten minutes of focused intimacy can reignite your physical connection and desire for each other.
Thank your spouse-even for the little things.
All too often, we take what our spouses do for us for granted. He mowed the law, took out the trash, or did the dishes. She dusted the furniture, cooked a meal, or ran the errands. Slip a “thank you” note into his briefcase or her purse or tell thank you for a specific thing they did. Acknowledging even the smallest things your spouse does makes them feel appreciated.
Laugh together every day.
Laughter really is the best medicine for boredom. Share a text of something funny you heard or read. Send a funny YouTube video or picture to your spouse. Tell each other about some funny incident that happened during your day. Keeping the humor in your marriage keeps the playfulness alive.
