For successful relationships you must love yourself first before you love another.
You cannot give what you do not have .
Be mindful of how you spend your time.
Couples who don’t listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say.
Arguably, one of the most important traits couples can have is to actually listen to what others are saying to strengthen marriage against storms of life.
Sometimes that can be as easy as speaking less and asking lots of questions. Other times you may need to utilize techniques like not go with the flow into the conversation.
Overall though, getting back to communication basics is your best course of action.
I’m talking about making eye contact, not looking at your phone, and responding accordingly.
You may not like what you’re hearing, but that’s no excuse to lose your cool.
Marriage requires a lot of understanding on the part of both spouses and a certain degree of compromises too.
You need to accommodate some likes, dislikes, and lifestyles of your partner while expecting them to reciprocate.
If you are feeling like your marriage is not where you want it to be, there are many things you can start to do right now that can contribute to the improving relationship with your spouse.
Commitment is the part of the relationship that provides safety and security, so couples can express their thoughts, feelings, and desires openly.
The commitment you make to your partner to be their other half in life is a huge one.
There’s a goal of permanence and solidity between you when you announce commitment in a relationship .
A key sign of a committed relationship is in being the person your partner needs on any given day.
If you need to be the strong one, be the strong one. If your partner feels needy, show up and give them what they need.
Be faithful, be consistent, and be somebody that your partner can rely on to keep your word.
Communication is the key to a happy and prosperous relationship. It is a very important part, especially where love is involved.
It is the act of conveying meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs, symbols, and semiotic rules.
Relationship communication skills don’t come easy for everyone. Some couples will have to work on their techniques for years. But over time, they will be able to speak openly and honestly with one another.
Well, patience is the ability to tolerate or restrain yourself from reacting in anger or frustration.
Patience in marriage is fundamental for your relationship to flourish. To such an extent, that it’s one of the significant marriage skills.
Patience brings a sense of contentment to the family. If both the partners patiently listen to each other or to their children, there are higher chances of the family life to continue with stability.

Thank you ….Intimacy involves the expression of our most profound, and most vulnerable parts of ourselves, which includes our deepest hopes, fears, dreams, thoughts, feelings, and pain. These sensitive feelings are tough to express.
Real intimacy is vital to strengthen a marriage and keep it thriving. Without it, marriages may morph into routine, roommate-like living situations, which is hardly satisfying for either partner.
The need for intimacy in relationship is as important as the need for love and trust to build a healthy and fulfilling relationship. With the current divorce rate between 40-50%, many couples are in search of ways to strengthening their marriage.
A toxic relationship is one that demands more than it gives. These types of relationships can be with family members, friends, and/or others we deal with on a regular basis. Do what it takes to end relationships that are no longer beneficial to you or your marriage with your spouse.
Do you want to add a word or two?….
Life is a rat race and none of us are going to get out alive, therefore, it is best to face life’s challenges as a team instead of competing to see who can handle difficult situations better or more often.
To have a strong marriage, it is first necessary for your spouse to feel good about themselves. The old saying goes; “One cannot love another without first loving thyself.”
Be sure to remind your spouse how important they are to you and tell him, or her, how they make your life easier and happier.
As human beings, spending time alone is a necessity for achieving peace and clarity. Spend plenty of time with your love of your life but don’t forget to take time out for yourself as well.
A date night can be as simple as having dinner at a local diner, a picnic, or going on a short walk at your favorite place during the weekend.
Not only will this help to strengthen a marriage but also solidify a friendship as partners. Eventually, it will become an activity that you both look forward to. Oftentimes in a marriage, spouses tend to enjoy different activities from one another . The husband may prefer a round of golf while the wife enjoys the day at the salon.
Try finding out what your partner enjoys and try participating in the same – your partner will appreciate the gesture and do the same for you next time.
We all love to be pampered and/or spoiled by our loved ones and one of the best ways to show someone you care is to do something thoughtful.

A “happy sex life” is ultimately an underlying key for the success of any relationship. Both partners must be fully satisfied in the bedroom and it is great to try new things or “spice things up.”
Build upon your communication skills by allotting a set time for open discussions. During this time, nothing is off-limits and both spouses agree to only use words that are kind and never insulting; neither person can get mad, angry, or upset.
If this were to occur, the conversation should be closed and revisited during the next set time.
Regardless of how much you and your partner love each other, you would find yourself bickering and arguing about some silly and inconsequential things.
Stressing about little things that hardly matter is not a good practice and usually emerges in a relationship from either partner’s obsession with those little things.
Husband’s and wives’ experience of total daily stress was associated with greater same-day marital conflict and that conflict was greater on days both spouses experienced high levels of stress.
Letting go of excessive stress is one of the best ways to strengthen a relationship /marriage.
