1) Love the whole package
– your wife may have an annoying laugh, or your husband may drag his feet
2) Nagging only makes
both of you more annoyed than to begin with. THE END.
3) No secrets – even tiny
secrets (with exceptions of Christmas, birthday presents, etc..) If you are
hiding something from your spouse than maybe you need to rethink what you are
doing…
4) Build up your spouse
with praise.
5) Love yourself – It is
hard to love someone who doesn’t love themselves. Don’t fret over your
imperfections. Your spouse chose you and loves you for who you are and being
self-confident is a very attractive quality to have.
6) Go out on a date
weekly.
7) Pray together –
Sometimes you don’t realize what your spouse is worried about until it comes
out in prayer. God is a partner in this marriage and it’s important to keep him
close.
8) Communication is key –
talk AND listen.
9) Do not gossip-
Complaining about your husband to others is inconsiderate and a violation of
trust.
10) Love through action –
Do the dishes, wash the car, hang up a wet towel off the floor, fill up the car
with gas… Do these things because you love your spouse, not because you feel
obligated too.
