Before we talk about how to get your marriage back on track, let me ask you a couple of questions.
Yep, we are starting with questions.
One of these questions is simple and straight forward.
The other question is simple too but it’s more about my curiosity.
Marriage can often seem like a big picture idea.
But it is time to rethink that. That’s where these little ways to work on your marriage every day come into play.
My marriage improved by leaps and bounds when I started to view it as a small picture journey.
When I started to really pick apart the day to day interactions, that’s when the big changes started happening.
Fight and fair. Do these two words go together like PB & J?
Maybe not that well. I mean, PB & J is such a classic and perfect combo.
But the way a couple handles fights or disagreements has a huge impact on the health of the relationships.
That’s why it is so crucial to figure out how to fight fair with your spouse.
When it comes to how to have a happy relationship, it’s not rocket science.
First, you fall in love.
Then you live happily ever after.
Wait! I think we missed something!
No relationship out there is perfect. No relationship is free of challenges or struggles.
So the thought of how to improve your relationship is something that has crossed all of our minds.
And that’s a good thing. It’s a good thing to make your relationship a priority. It’s a great thing.
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.
