Want to Make Your Marriage Work?
by Why is it that the divorce rate is so high? Is it because no one wants to put the work in to make the marriage work? I have some advice for you, marriage takes work and it will not live by itself it takes two for the marriage to be successful…
Sacrifice for your spouse. Do you consider them before yourself? Do you try to get what will please you only and not your spouse? When was the last time you done something for your spouse without them asking? When was the last time you left a love letter in her bible or a letter of appreciation on her mirror? I know we live in a selfish society but Christ sacrificed his life for us, so why don’t we do the same for our spouse?
Send the kids to Grandma house for the weekend so you and your spouse can spend some “what’s going on in your world” time. We try to cover up our marital issues by staying busy with the kids and when the kids go to college and the two of you are empty nesters, you don’t know each other because all of your focus went on the kids and not your spouse.
To the men, take your wife out to dinner and treat her like she deserves to be treated. Open and close her car door, pull her seat out for her when you’re at the restaurant and let her sit first. Look her in the eyes and tell her how beautiful she is and let her talk. Don’t interrupt her let her express what is going on in her world and don’t try to fix it.
Women, pleasing your husband are so simple! How to know what makes him want to rush home look at my article “how to keep it interesting at home.” Another ingredient to making your marriage work women is to not second guess him on every decision he makes. That is a big no, no and it tears down his ego so some women says “he is not good at decision making and he makes bad choices” well you married him (smile). If you are struggling in this area with your husband, you woman can help him by respecting him.
