Top 5 Marriage Secrets
These marriage secrets are not really "secrets", but they are good things to keep in mind to keep your relationship on track.
1.
Keep the doors of communication open.
Always take the time to talk to each other, about what is going on in your separate lives, your life together, finances, family, everything that is important.
Once you stop communicating, a marriage can break down.
It is when you no longer communicate that one or both spouses seek other avenues and/or people to communicate with.
This is how many affairs start - because people are lonely and need someone to talk to.
Never give your spouse a reason to feel lonely.
2.
Spend time together.
If you have to schedule a "date night" once per week, then do it.
Make it a special time that you spend together and enjoy each other's exclusive company.
Get a babysitter, if you have to.
Shut off the cell phones and actually spend time together alone.
Losing touch with each other can spell doom for your relationship.
3.
Make time for the physical side of your relationship.
Making excuses that you are too tired, or stressed or whatever the reason may be, there really is no excuse for not being intimate with your spouse.
This is one of the main cornerstones to any marriage, once you lose the intimacy, your marriage is sure to follow.
4.
Never criticize each other or call each other down.
This kind of pattern can start off as a joke, of sorts.
The next thing you know, it can become bitter and severe.
Always search for kind things to say about each other.
5.
One of the best marriage secrets is celebrating your differences.
Opposites attract, as they say, and you need to acknowledge that you each have differences.
There are no rules about relationships.
The best idea is to work together to be happy for life.
