Here is how I do it. Different ways work for different couples. When you work at your marriage and enjoy it, you will see that things may just develop in a more loving manner and have better harmony. The couple must remember to take care of each other know matter what it takes. 1. Marriage is a partnership and companionship by becoming as one. Both parties must work at the relationship to ensure that both are actively involved in the marriage and with one another. 2. Take a break from each other and have some me time as well as best friend time. Take turns allowing the other this opportunity and you watch the kids. 3. Surprise each other on a regular basis to keep the fire burning. Do NOT let your marriage be complacent. The small things make the biggest difference in a marriage. 4. Do NOT let money dictate your relationship. Talk openly about the finances and make all decision together. 5. Make time for each other. Take lots of mini-moon meaning taking time for at least an overnight trip with you and your spouse. Leave the kids with someone else you trust. 6. Focus on the family as a whole. Do things together regularly and have planned family time each week. Let each member take the lead role for an activity. This will strengthen the couple and the family at the same time and have the most fun. 7. Tell each other you love him or her each day and never leave upset at each other. Sometimes you may just need to let it go. Find a word to use and when one of you says it, the topic is closed. We use the word whatever and it just came about over the years. 8. One of the best question a spouse can the other is What can I do to help? This is an easy question to ask, but you must remember to act upon and do the best you can. 9. Be prepare for however happens in life. There will be many unexpected situation throughout life from accidents to celebrations. 10. Each spouse will have to make sacrifices for the other whether it of for work, changing a habit that may bother the other or one may put his or her goals on hold to assist in the others achievement. All these are ideas work when the spouses put their marriage first and focus on togetherness. This does take work. Keep it spiced up regularly and remember the simple things make the biggest difference. Marriage is both emotional and physical for both members. The kids can make it more challenging when the parents forget about themselves. Yes, everything does seem to focus on the kids and that is very important. But the couple must still remember themselves because a loving family can make all the difference in the world of the kids providing the best example.About the Author:
