How to save your marriage
How to save your marriageHow can you save your marriage unless you look for advice. This article will give you ideas on how to accomplish this like forgiving, don't bring up the negative past.
You can save your marriage. You want a permanent relationship, don't you? You and your spouse were in love when you first got married. Why can't you re-kindle that love now?
Remember when you fell in love and married. How did you act toward each other? Repeat those little favors nowadays. Cook his favorite meal; have his paper in his favorite chair; place his house shoes ready for him to slip into; bring him a cup of coffee while he's resting. Pick a flower and bring to her; help her with the dishes after you eat; slip her a bill and tell her to buy something special; surprise her with a gift other than on her birthday. It's those little things that show 'you care for her/him.'
If you have a flat tire on your car, you don't say, "I want to get rid of it." No, you fix the tire or have it fixed. Don't say anything about ending your relationship. Fix it.
If you are getting stale on your sex life, take time to be together, talk to each other. Reminisce about your young love. Go on a vacation. Maybe it will be just an overnight stay at a motel, but don't let your work bog you down. Companionship is important for a healthy marriage.
Start to save your marriage NOW. Don't look back and pick up the negative. Forget the sour times; don't remind the spouse of past faults.
Begin today to add sweetness in your married life. Be positive.
One woman told me her husband had a girlfriend. She said she could not forgive him. I asked her if he had girlfriends before they became engaged.
"How did you win him from the girls, then? Begin today, to win him away from that girlfriend." Show him you think he's the most important man in the world. Make yourself and your home life so attractive he will not want to stray.
Why do you fight? All couples have disagreements. Talk over the difference and you will discover the argument was minor. Learn to be silent when you differ.
Don't let your grievances linger; get it over with. Don't have a fight before other people or your children. Never hit your mate. Be honest and understanding.
Jealousy has lead many a couple to the divorce court. Mindy frets when Monty is 5 or 10 minutes late getting home from work. "Where have you been? Who were you with? Were you with some woman?" What can her husband do in 10 minutes with another woman? Monty accuses Mindy of flirting with the men if she speaks to them.
Some husbands say, "I wouldn't want a woman who wasn't attractive to other men." I heard a wife say, "Just so he doesn't kiss her or spend any money on her." I think both are good ways of thinking toward one's spouse to keep out the envious attitudes.
Show your companion respect and affection. As one person said, "Be sure it is your wife/husband you're in love with, not yourself." So many married couples love themselves more than they love their partner.
Every day say to her or him, "I love you." And put meaning from the heart into those words.
