Positive Motivation For Spouses

When you married your spouse, obviously romantic love and intimacy were a part of the relationship

, but you likely were also keenly aware that you were entering into a lifelong partnership. You knew that the two of you would be together through thick and thin for the rest of your lives. Yet as your days together as a married couple grew into weeks, months, and even years, the day to day frustrations and challenges of life can really have an affect on your marriage. The task of being a support system of positive motivation for each other can lose importance over far less important but daily challenges such as getting your spouse to load the dishwasher and put dirty socks in the hamper.

If you have realized that you are a source of negative energy for your spouse, you are not alone. It is incredibly easy to full into a rut of nagging, griping, and talking about your worries constantly. Yet it is important to understand that when your relationship transitions to a point where this is the only or main type of communication that the two of you share, both of you lose by missing out on offering the incredible support system and source of positive motivation that marriage can provide. The good news is that it is never too late to make a change for the better and change the messages you are providing to your spouse.

Instead of focusing on dirty socks and dishes left in the sink, which certainly can be a source of irritation, consider the larger picture and offer supporting words and positive motivation for your spouse. Simply telling your spouse how proud you are of him or her, or asking what you can do to help him or her out today can really change the dynamic of your relationship. You both will once again be reminded of your partnership in life and will be reminded of how great life can be when you have the solid support and encouragement of a loving spouse behind you.
