The ones that are still head-over-heels happy? It is INTENTION!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key factor in how strong your marriage is, is the intentional effort made by both husband and wife. It is your everyday decisions, words, and choices that make the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marriage doesn\u2019t make you happy- YOU make your marriage happy! There is no love in marriage. Love is in people!

Let your spouse finish their thoughts before sharing your own.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen with the intent to UNDERSTAND, not just with the intent to REPLY.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to put yourself in your spouse\u2019s shoes and look at things through their unique perspective.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t understand their view or perspective, ask questions!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you don\u2019t have to think alike to think together.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is not to determine who is right and who is wrong. The goal is for both of you to enlarge your perspectives &amp; gain a greater understanding of each other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid placing blame on your spouse. Use \u201cI\u201d statements instead of \u201cYou\u201d statements. For example, \u201cI feel overworked.\u201d Instead of, \u201cYou don\u2019t help around the house.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid exaggerations such as \u201cI always\u2026\u201d, \u201cYou never\u2026\u201d, or \u201cWhy don\u2019t you ever\u2026\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, that these questions are just a starting point. We encourage you to go beyond just answering the question into deeper, heart-felt dialogues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">End your communication session with expressions of love &amp; affection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Great for All Couples<\/h2>\n<p>As a new couple, we found books with questions for married couples and we devoured them in our conversations.

Usually there is one spouse who does not naturally feel comfortable being vulnerable, opening up, and talking about their deepest feelings. It can feel scary!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that we can be the \u201csafety net\u201d for our spouse so it\u2019s not so scary. By being vulnerable first, we make it easier for them to join us. It only takes one person inviting the other to come closer to them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s some tips to consider when asking your spouse to communicate with you:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain why this is important to you &amp; how you think it will benefit your relationship.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be honest &amp; vulnerable when expressing your desire for more connection with them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create safety by listening lovingly &amp; never using their words against them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make it fun!
