SECRETS FOR A JOYFUL LIFE
WHAT ARE THE
SECRETS FOR A JOYFUL LIFE BETWEEN A LOVELY COUPLE?
Choose
to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other.
Love is a commitment, not a feeling.
Always
answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling and when possible, try to
keep your phone off when you’re together with your spouse.
Make
time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the
“currency of relationships” so consistently invest time into your marriage.
Surround
yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage and remove yourself
from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.
Make
laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy, and even in the
hard times, find reasons to laugh.
In
every argument, remember that there won’t be a “winner” and a “loser.” You are
partners in everything so you’ll either win together or lose together. Work
together to find a solution.
Remember
that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It’s
usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the
moments when the other feels weak. Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It
takes more than sex to build a strong marriage, but it’s nearly impossible to
build a strong marriage without it!
Remember
that marriage isn’t 50-50, divorce is 50-50. Marriage has to be 100-100. It’s
not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they’ve
got!
Give
your best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to
everyone else.
Learn
from other people, but don’t feel the need to compare your life or your
marriage to anyone else’s. God’s plan for your life is masterfully unique!
Don’t
put your marriage on hold while you’re raising your kids or else you’ll end up
with an empty nest and an empty marriage.
Never
keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.
Never
lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong
marriage.
When
you’ve made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be
quick to say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
When
your husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly which
will promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You
should be quick to say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”
Be
patient with each other. Your spouse is always more important that your
schedule.
Model
the kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good
husbands and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.
Never
talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect
your spouse at all times and in all places.
Always
wear your wedding ring. It will remind you that you’re always connected to your
spouse, and it will remind the rest of the world that you’re off limits!
Connect
into a community of faith. A good church can make a world of difference in your
marriage and family.
Pray
together. Every marriage is stronger with God in the middle of it.
When
you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your
spouse, say nothing every time!
Remember
that a “perfect marriage” is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on
each other.
