Marriage Monday

It has been a few weeks since I have posted my daily marriage tips on here for Marriage Monday.  Here are the latest ones:

33. No matter how long you have been married, women still like to be romanced : ) Open the door for your wife, surprise her with flowers, slow dance in your kitchen, even if there is no music.


34. Forgive and Forget. Love holds no records of wrongs. Don't keep bringing up problems that you already hashed out in the past to your current arguments because it doesn't help anything.

35. Hold hands : )

36. Selfishness in a marriage is like unleaded fuel in a diesel truck...IT DOESN"T WORK!

37. Replace the 7 deadly habits in a marriage with the 7 caring habits. The 7 deadly habits are criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, threatening, punishing, and bribing.The 7 caring habits include supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting, and negotiating your differences.

38. Make your spouse feel special : )

39. Sometimes you will love your spouse and not be loved in return. This is true love.

40. Pay attention when your spouse talks to you. Really listen to what they have to say.

41. Realize what you have before it is gone. Appreciate your spouse!

42. Be considerate and have respect for your spouse! (1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers)\

43. Treat your spouse like a king or queen : )

44. Write your spouse a love note! You can do it on post its and stick them around the house so it is like a treasure hunt!

45. Couples that pray together, stay together.

46. It takes atleast 3 postive comments to make up for 1 bad one. You should edify your spouse, not tear them down.

47. The first step to saving your marriage is realizing that your marriage is worth saving.

48. If you are not happy with your marriage and you keep waiting for your spouse to change and be better than you will never be happy. Someone needs to take the first step. Why not start doing really nice things for your spouse even if they don't deserve it and have not done anything nice for you in a long time.

49. We are not born being able to love someone unconditionally. It is not natural. We are selfish creatures. This is something we must learn to do.

50. Call your spouse for no reason at all other than to tell them you love them and miss them today : )

51. When you are weak, God is strong. So if your marriage is weak it only makes sense to rely on God to strenghthen it!

52. Finding financial peace will lead to more peace in your marriage.

53. Turn off the TV and talk to your spouse.

54. Practice forgiveness always.

55. Marriage is a contract founded on commitment, NOT on feelings.

56. it is never too late to save your marriage

57. Try not to think of things as mine and yours. Think of them as ours.

58. Try focusing on the positive qualities your spouse possesses. Make a list and share it with them : )

59. Love NEVER fails. Love your spouse with all your heart!

60. It is true that with marriage comes responsibility, but with that comes growth and opportunity

61. Every action causes a reaction. Make your actions toward your spouse positive ones so that in turn the reaction will be positive.

62. Your attitude towards your marriage will set the tone of your marriage.

63. You should not keep secrets from your spouse. Share your passwords, let them look at your phone, etc. It is not being nosy, it is accountability for you and reassurance for your partner. If there is nothing suspicious then this shouldn't even bother you : )

64. Always conduct yourself in a manner as if your spouse was right next to you, even if they are not, so that your behavior is never questionable.

65. Do you want to settle for a marriage that meets the standards of society or go the second mile and have a biblical, Godly marriage?

66. Admit when you are wrong.
