As a wife, I believe that I have to adapt serious practices to make our marriage in great shape. Just like any couple in their first few years of marriage, Steve and I are learning a lot from each other, our differences included. And I would say that we have a looong way to go. *:)
But how are we going to keep that love burning in our marriage journey?
Below are simple things we want to share with you. Things we learned and are adapting to ourselves in keeping our marriage healthy. Here are some ideas you can also practice in your marriage:
- Hug and kiss each other every morning before one of you leaves the house. (Research indicates that marriages that practice this simple discipline are much healthier than those that don’t.)
- Make your spouse hot drink or coffee in the morning (if a coffee drinker).
- Call or text a message mid-day just to see how the other is doing.
- Ask him or her to meet you for a quick lunch break.
- Reach across the table, the front seat of your car or the couch to hold his/her hand, even if only for a few moments.
- Set the table if your spouse is doing the cooking.
- Open the car door for her; pull out the chair for her at the dinner table; help her put her coat on.
- Fix his favorite meal without him having to ask.
- Clean her/his car together.
- Pick her some wildflowers and walk through the door with them.
- Go an entire day without saying anything to your spouse except praise…affirmation for who they are, what they mean to you, and so on.
- Compliment your spouse in front of your family and children.
- Find creative ways to tell each other “I love you,” like in codes.
- Add a candle to the dinner table as a way of telling your spouse you consider the evening special and romantic, simply because they’re there.
- Always be positive and find humor in every situation.
- Go to bed at the same time. Talk, read or share the quietness together.
15.Pray together as a couple. Don’t forget to say prayers of thanksgiving, safety and guidance for each other.
Simple acts of love are just that – simple.
They don’t take time to prepare or money to maintain.
