Secrets to Staying Married
Posted: November 23, 2008By Dr Bill Maier
There’s no such thing as perfect marriage, but that doesn’t mean your marriage can’t be fulfilling and happy.
Building a strong marriage takes hard work and commitment. It takes two people who are willing to say to each other: ” I know that tough times will come, but I promise to stay with you , no matter what.”
When life get hard, even the best marriages are tested. And the ones that survive are those whose each party made a conscious decision to stay the course.
In fact, couples who perserve through trials almost always come out stronger than ever.
Take time to remind your spouse how committed you are to your marriage.
Use special occasions like anniversaries, holidays or other family events to focus on what’s important, and renew your love and devotion- both to your mate and your children.
Remind your spouse often, and see if it doesn’t strengthen your relationship.
And remember, strong marriages are built on loyalty and loyalty is a decision, not a personality trait.
