All couples talk. Hopefully!
But what are we talking about?
The day to day conversations are always happening.
How was your day? What do you want for dinner? Some random thing that happened.
These are things that don’t require more than a few words or a grunt as a response.
But what about the things going on under the surface. The talks that require both people’s full attention.
The talks that are not always easy.
Every single couple out there is guilty of having some toxic marriage habits.
By no means does that mean they have a bad marriage.
It just means that they are human and not perfect! Yes, even those couples that seem to have it all. Don’t be fooled. They do not.
Do the little things in marriage really make a huge difference?
They most definitely do.
Those little things help build a strong foundation. They have the power to make or break a relationship.
The best thing about all those little things in a marriage is that they are easy. No rocket science required.
You don’t have to read a book to figure these things out. Although, books on relationships are great. And reading one can make a massive difference.
But this isn’t getting into the deep-down stuff. This is about those small day to day things that drift off over time.
Let’s talk date night! More specifically… date night movies!
Everyone loves movies. And it is definitely at the top of the list for date night ideas.
But what happens when it comes to picking the movie?
You want something both people will enjoy.
I get annoyed by the “chick flick” and “guy movie” thing.
I happen to think a lot of men enjoy a romantic comedy. Just like a lot of women enjoy an action film.
Looking for some advice on how to have a happy marriage?
Let’s get one thing out of the way. Fairy tale marriages do not exist.
But you know what does exist? Happy marriages. Really, truly happy marriages.
Healthy marriages.
Isn’t that the goal we are all trying to achieve. To feel happy and secure within our marriage. We want a sturdy foundation in our relationship.
Ever think about how to be a better wife?
Let me start this off by saying I know it takes two to make a marriage work. Team sports for the win!
But don’t spend too much time analyzing if you should try to make a change until your husband changes x, y, and z. Don’t do something based off of what your partner is or isn’t doing.
Look inside yourself. Think about how to be a better wife today!
An all-around better person.
This is not a competition to see who is doing more work and who is doing it better.
Where has the time gone? No really. Where? I think my 20’s fell into a black hole.
The hubby and I have been married for 9 years and together for 12!
That means I was a whopping 22 years old when we started dating. I would say take me back to being that young. But hold the front door. That is a HUGE NO!
Looking for some at-home date night ideas? You know those dates that don’t require a babysitter. Or leaving the house!
I have a confession to make. My hubby and I drop the ball way too often when it comes to date nights. I know! We need to up our game.
These at-home date night ideas make things a bit easier!
The worst part is I have to take equal credit for this issue. I can’t even blame 80% of the problem on him. Not that I would ever do that anyway. I know I’m flawed. Maybe just a tiny bit less than him?
The planning portion is a piece of cake. The execution is where it all goes downhill.
