Before we get to the good stuff, there’s one important thing I have to share.
Every marriage out there will always be a work in progress. Always! Every single one.
Of course, these simple ways to improve your marriage will help you make positive changes to your relationship.
When it comes to how to make a relationship work, the answer will be different for everyone.
No secret recipe for success that your family just forgot to pass down.
Relationships are tricky. No way around that.
They are messy. They are full of moving parts that don’t always line up as they should.
These marriage rules are going to make marriage so easy.
You and I both know that is not at all true. But dang, I wish it was!
Why does marriage have to be so hard?
This was a thought that kept running through my mind last night.
The idea of relationship rules may seem a little strange.
Maybe rules aren’t your thing. Maybe you thrive when rules are there. Or maybe you love to push the limits on rules. Shout out to all my rule breakers!
But building a healthy relationship is all about consistency. And rules are a great way to prioritize certain ideas. Rules can help you build consistent patterns in your relationship.
Ready to talk all about how to have a healthy marriage?
Great, me too! Let’s dive right in!
First, let’s make one thing very clear.
Can you define what makes a good relationship?
I can.
Do you know the exact steps to follow to learn how to have a good relationship?
I do. Sort of. Kind of. To a point.
We are all different. Every person individually and every relationship. And there’s tons of different relationship advice out there. SO MUCH ADVICE.
A healthy relationship.
Yeah, I’ll take one of those. How about you?
Silly question. Of course, you want to be part of a healthy relationship.
But when it comes to how to have a healthy relationship, it takes a little more effort than just saying we want one.
Let’s talk about relationships! One of my favorite things to talk about.
OK, I actually love to talk about anything and everything. The only problem I have with talking is stopping.
Sorry, not sorry!
But back to the point. We are going to dive deep into the idea of how to have a better relationship.
Are there things we can do that will make building a better relationship a smoother ride?
A better coffee maker. A better phone.
Better sheets for your bed. Better face lotion.
Most of us have thought about things like this. Things in our lives that may be in need of a little upgrade.
Has the thought of how to have a better marriage ever popped into your head?
Would you say you have a good marriage?
Would you describe your marriage as happy?
Here’s the thing. When it comes to how to have a good marriage, there isn’t a secret handbook out there that has all the answers.
