Who Else Wants To Know 4 Alternate Ways To Help A Marriage Prosper?

By Sarah Scott


Remember that you married the man or woman of your dreams. Why else would you commit to if you were not sure your other half was "the one?" It's very common for many people's relationship to go stale after they are married. It doesn't mean that your relationship is over.

Just like with life, everybody has our ups and downs. Same goes with our relationships and relationships. There'll be days that reminds you why you married your partner and there'll be days that makes you wonder whether this is what you really wanted.

Many people go into a marriage (especially women) expecting the relationship to be on "fire" all the time. That right there is an impractical expectation. The person whom you selected to co-habitat with in a committed relationship is not perfect and neither are you. If you have certain expectations on what a perfect marriage looks like, let it go because there's no such thing as an ideal marriage. Marriage will take work and effort to keep everybody happy and satisfied. Here are 4 good habits to get into to help your marriage flourish.

1. Share Experiences Together (Even If It Is Not Your Thing) We all have our differences. We may love doing one thing where as our partner may hate it. Try showing an interest in what your partner likes. I am not suggesting you have to love it but it's sweet to take interest in each other's hobbies. You could be slightly taken aback at how much fun your having at something that you thought you hated. Remember the couple who plays together, laughs together.

2. Make a Routine Out of Connecting Together

Life can be very hectic. That's why it's even more vital to make time out of your day to connect with your partner. Talk it up with your partner. Couples who chit-chat about tiny things generally have an easier time debating about the vital things than others who have a much harder time bringing up the issue.

3. Write In Your Journal

You'll be stunned at how writing in a book can control your anger. When you're upset about something, cool down by writing in your journal. Writing about your feelings is a great way to let go of bad emotions instead of taking it out on your partner.

Many times, stress from life places us in a bad mood. Rather than snapping at your other half, decompress your emotions in your journal. When your irritated and furious at the world, it's so simple to snap at the ones we love.

4. Publicly Praise Your Partner

When you're out with a group of friends or have people around you, praise your partner. It's great to hear compliments about yourself from other people. Think how AMAZING it would feel to hear your spouse brag about you in front of others. Nurture your spouse's self-image. Words of praise can bear as much weight as the malicious words that leaves scars.
