Family Relationships Self-Care Living Assessments Newsletters

No one goes into a marriage planning on a divorce. But when life blurs your sight of forever and distorts or diminishes what made you fall in love with your spouse in the first place, it's easy to become complacent in your marriage.

You have to actively work on your marriage for it to last. Instead of losing focus, follow these 20 perfect pieces of advice that will help you keep forever in sight.

1. Think before you speak; you can't take back words

2. Let two heads be better than one - think together

3. Share openly ...

4. ... and listen intently

Do you ever feel like your spouse doesn't communicate with you often? That sometimes things tend to happen out of the blue. Or perhaps your spouse seems to be angry, but you don't know why? What if you would really pay attention and listen to your spouse when he/she is trying to communicate with you? It may seem like they are nagging, however, if perhaps you listen carefully and attentively, then your spouse wouldn't have to be repeating the same thing over and over again. In addition, if you show you care and listen with sincere attention your spouse will be more incline to express themselves with much more enthusiasm. This is communication 101 ladies and gentlemen! Let's be more attentive to each other so that when its your turn you get the same attention! #communication101 #listening #listening101 #relationshiprules #relationship101 #listen #expressyourself

17. Love more tomorrow than you did today

Did marriage turn out to be as you expected? If it has congratulations! If it caught you by surprise how challenging it is, you are not alone. Most people only dream of the day they get married and how everything will be peachy. But that's so far from the truth. People don't dream about all the challenges living with a different person brings. Or when they decide to start a family all the sacrifices they will need to make. And because of that, once they are faced with these challenges, they feel they can't handle them and they want to quit. Can you achieve happily-ever-after? Absolutely! There is no doubt you are capable of achieving your happily-ever-after. It will just take a bit more effort in learning how deal with those challenges, patience and understanding from you and your spouse. As the saying goes, if you dream it, and believe it and you want it, you can achieve it. Just like anything in life, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. So stay strong and keep the love alive! Please share if you think it will enlighten a friend. #bridetobe #dreamsdocometrue #believeinyourdreams #dreambelieveachieve #patienceisavirtue #believeinlove #justmarried #weddingday #foreverinlove #groomtobe #brideandgroom bridesmaids #weddingreception #groomintux
