MARRIAGE, LOVE
& FRIENDSHIP
Connie Durham
Host of The Extraordinary Marriage Podcast
Too often the "Wedding" becomes the destination.
Marriage is a Journey of overcoming life's obstacles together.
Sometimes you need some assistance to do that.
#1 Make sure your spouse knows that they are number one. (sometimes the kids wiggle into this spot)
#2 Lift and Support one another by truly listening, encouraging, and affirming.
#3 Turn up the communication by talking about your day, ideas for your future, and yes.....even feelings.
#4 This is a BIG one, don't sweat the small stuff, (and do know the difference) and be forgiving. Think.....how much does this REALLY matter?
#5 Build trust by keeping your word and lean into each other, acknowledging the things you are each good at.
Be the person you want them to be. Be kind, thoughtful and helpful. It's important that you LIKE your SPOUSE, and you want them to like you too!
"To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it"
Mother Teresa
