25 Ways To Save Your Marriage
Before It's Too Late
Lately, it seems like everywhere I go, I've been hearing about marriages...and sadly many of them falling a part. With such sky-high divorce ratings, and so many broken marriages, many people fee like their head is being held under water.
There is help. But perhaps, to start off, we just need to go back to the basics.
1. Stop looking to your spouse to complete you.
2. Get ready to step up you game. You're going to have to really fight for it.
3. Don't treat your spouse like you're mother or your maid.
4. Pray together.
5. But don't JUST pray. Do something. Put action behind it.
6. Love never fails. A soft answer turns away wrath.
7. Don't give up. Ever. Marriage is a commitment...not until the feelings run out.
8. Get help from an outside source. Not your single buddies advice!
9. Don't leave your dishes in the sink...or underwear on the floor...or socks...or..
10. HONOR. HONOR. HONOR. With both actions & words.
11. Out of all the people in the world, remind yourself why you fell in love with them.
12. Write a note or letter explaining your feelings.
13. Watch your tone, attitude and body language!
14. Make time to hang out just as friends, away from everything else.
15. Don't fantasize about other people. The grass is NOT greener on the other side.
16. Admit when you are wrong... actually always be the first to apologize.
17. Put your spouse before your kids unless you wanna be strangers on graduation day.
18. Husbands, take the lead spiritually, with love. BE the man she's needs.
19. Build trust where trust is broken, be vulnurable.
20. Be physically intimate, but be emotionally intimate first.
21. Celebrate each other's small victories.
22. Let go of the past and forgive each other.
23. Get free from addiction.
24. Trust in God and make Him the foundation to build your marriage on.
25. Attack the issue......NOT each other.
