It is always a work in progress. Not just from one side but both. I am not saying stay through abuse or true deal breakers.
I encourage husbands and wives to work on active listening and communication. It’s important. Remember that other hear and listen to what you say better when you keep an even voice tone. The moment the voice rise humans shut down and stop hearing.
Don’t forget to continue to date. Those with young kids it can be done without a babysitter put the kids down and have a picnic in the living room or a candle lit dinner at the table. Go outside and stargaze.
I encourage everyone to set time aside read together or listen to audiobooks on marriage. We are living in a time and what’s attacking marriages and spouses is different. The age of social media and having a computer in your pocket allowing you to check out is putting marriages in danger. We should do our part to be mindful of this and limit it as best we can. Use that computer in your pocket to do research on marriage and there are marriage counseling worksheets online if you can’t afford MC.
Have an amazing weekend and wake up every day as a new day and remember to love yourself. Self help and give yourself a possible affirmation every morning while brushing your teeth and look at yourself in the mirror in your own eyes to do this.
