Love in marriage is a verb
Filed Under Uncategorized |
When we date it’s full of actions or affection, words of love and promises for the future. Somehow when we get married those actions, words and promises gradually die off. Then we wonder what happened to our marriage, we use to be so in love and dedicated to each one another. Now we feel like two separate people leading very different lives. Here are some quick ideas to start making love an action rather then a memory.
1- Surprise Your Spouse- Do something for them that they aren’t expecting. For instance make them lunch for work and stick a love note in it. Come home from work with a new chic flick and ask to watch it with her. Go to the office and heart attack the inside of his or her car. Leave a message on their cell phone just saying how much you love and appreciate them.
2- Plan time Together- Each week plan time that is to be spent with just the two of you. There are several things that pull for your time. Some of these include: work, kids, friends, and hobbies. If we want our marriage to be successful, we must make our marriage a priority. We must also make choices that show our spouse that marriage is a priority.
3- Say I love you- It is hard to wear out the words I love you. Don’t let a day go bye where your spouse has to wonder and guess as to whether or not you love them. Just because you said it on the wedding day doesn’t mean you should wait for an anniversary to say it again. Say I love you every day.
4- Don’t be Picky- There will be little things that drive you crazy, frankly get over it. Learn to look past it and move on. Just because he doesn’t put the toothpaste in the right drawer or she doesn’t set the table right doesn’t mean there needs to be a huge battler. Learn to get over the little things and tackle the big things together,
5- Don’t let anything come between your marriage- You should be completely devoted to your spouse. Don’t let anything come between those bonds. When you make something more of a priority than you marriage, you will have problems. Marriage is all about priorities.
Marriage is a daily task. Working on your marriage is never finished. You can never say now that I have marriage, I can focus on my work. Marriage is meant to support you throughout life but it must be the priority or it will never fulfill its role. Make choices that portray to your spouse that they are priority.
