First comes love, then comes marriage....Mmmm let’s go back to the first comes Love part
We discuss off by talking about the importance of marrying the person and not the image of marriage.
A few tips on how to make your marriage your own
Make your marriage a priority
- Communicate set goals for your marriage this may include setting up a monthly time to discuss things going on in your marriage/pillow talk ,
- Discuss your needs and expectations as a husband and wife,
- Set boundaries: Friends family coworkers anyone outside of your marriage/respect your marriage
- Taking advice and seeking wise counsel * Discuss the importance of having a “Marriage Mentor”
- Conflict resolution/fighting fair-Keeping score never ends well in marriage because they’re always be a winner and a loser but in the end you both lose let’s face it sometimes we will not always be on our best game we will miss the mark
- Granting grace /forgiveness and regrouping/moving on.- Not staying in the same negative space.
- Honesty is the best policy it’s about respect and responsibility in your marriage. You took vows and you should honor them. Create your own traditions.
- FUN, FUN, and More FUN! -Make time for fun enjoy each other create simple activities you can do together such as reading/ watching a certain TV show/movies whatever your thing is to do together creates a bonding time..
- And last but not least intimacy-make it a priority to connect emotionally and physically. Intimacy in marriage does not have to be boring it will be what you make of it.
