The Best Marriage Advice Ever
Choose to
love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other.
Love is a commitment, not a feeling.
Always answer
the phone when your husband/wife is calling and when possible, try to keep your
phone off when you’re together with your spouse.
Make time
together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the “currency
of relationships” so consistently invest time into your marriage.
Surround
yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage and remove yourself
from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.
Make
laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy, and even in the
hard times, find reasons to laugh.
In every
argument, remember that there won’t be a “winner” and a “loser.” You are
partners in everything so you’ll either win together or lose together. Work
together to find a solution.
Remember
that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It’s
usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the
moments when the other feels weak.Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It
takes more than sex to build a strong marriage, but it’s nearly impossible to
build a strong marriage without it!
Remember
that marriage isn’t 50-50, divorce is 50-50. Marriage has to be 100-100. It’s
not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they’ve
got!
Give your
best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone
else.
Learn from
other people, but don’t feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to
anyone else’s. God’s plan for your life is masterfully unique!
Don’t put
your marriage on hold while you’re raising your kids or else you’ll end up with
an empty nest and an empty marriage.
Never keep
secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.
Never lie to
each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.
When you’ve
made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be quick to
say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
When your
husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly which will
promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You should
be quick to say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”
Be patient
with each other. Your spouse is always more important that your schedule.
Model the
kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good husbands
and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.
Learn from
other people, but don’t feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to
anyone Else. God’s plan for your life is masterfully unique!
Never talk
badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect your
spouse at all times and in all places.
Always wear
your wedding ring. It will remind you that you’re always connected to your
spouse and it will remind the rest of the world that you’re off limits!
Connect into
a community of faith. A good church can make a world of difference in your
marriage and family.
Pray
together. Every marriage is stronger with God in the middle of it.
When you
have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse,
say nothing every time!
Never
consider divorce as an option. Remember that a “perfect marriage” is just two
imperfect people who refuse to give up on each .
