10 Relationship Tips To Create Magic In Your Marriage

We all know we reap what we sow, and in marriage this principle is a virtual flashing red light. The more work and attention you put into your relationship, the better it gets.

And more importantly, the more joy you feel.

Any time you see a happy couple, you are looking at a couple who works at their marriage. It doesn’t just happen, it’s intentional and IT’S WORK. A lot of work. A lot of hard work.

I was miserable in my marriage when it was all about “me.” But when I became a Christian and I learned to give up self, that’s when my marriage began to get better and better.

The key to a happy marriage is the willingness to put the other person first.

Daily.

Even when you don’t feel like it.

1.-

Honor and respect your loved one all day and every day: There are no off days in marriage. Showing kindness, honor, and respect is a continued urgency.

 

2.-

If something is important to your partner, you make it important to you: If we value our spouse, we value what they value.

 

3.-

Keep your spouse a priority: Even above the kids. A child centered home (always putting your children before your spouse) is damaging not only to the children but to the parents as well.

 

4.-

Say thank you often, even for the “little” things: Thank you, thank you, thank you, we all like to hear those words.

 

5.-

Be mindful that life is not all about you!: Too focused on self and you’ve got a recipe for a crash. Marriage is about loving another not demanding what you want.

 

6.-

Enjoy each other: Keep the bedroom fun. Really fun. I don’t think this needs an explanation.

 

7.-

Consider your spouse in your decisions: Marriage requires “we” thinking not “me” thinking.

 

8.-

 

Get used to saying, I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me: Be ready and willing to be wrong and to express your love and devotion often.

 

9.-

Forgive, Forgive, Forgive: One could call marriage the forgiveness ministry. Any long-term marriage is comprised of two people who are proficient at forgiving.

 

10.-

Spend time with God every day and pray for your spouse every day: It is through God you will receive the ability to think of your beloved before yourself. It is natural to always think of me, me, me, it is supernatural to consider the needs of another.

As soon as I didn’t see my marriage as a chance to “get all I wanted” and realized marriage was about giving and serving that’s when the magic happened.

And it can happen for you, too.

Fondly,

Lu
