With the divorce rate becoming alarmingly high, couples are struggling to keep their marriage intact.
However, with the seemingly difficult economy, most of our efforts are directed towards earning money to support our family.
So, with this concern, how can we strengthen our marriage? The good news is that there are 4 simple secrets which can help you achieve this, but such secrets will only work if you follow them consistently, and without fail.
1.
Set a weekly date just for the two of you.
Does this sound expensive to you? It does not have to be.
Your date could be as extravagant as a fancy dinner but it could also be inexpensive and yet just as memorable.
You can have a candlelit dinner at some quiet place like the beach, and this would not even burn a tiny hole in your pocket.
2.
Send out love notes.
Sweet notes can certainly endear you more to your spouse.
You can do this on a daily or weekly basis.
You can send a short email or simply slip a little note in his jacket pocket.
This is a sure-fire way to brighten up his day.
3.
Keep him coming back for more.
One of the most effective ways to keep your love burning is to keep the romance and passion alive.
As soon as he leaves for work, send him off with a long and passionate kiss which will leave him thinking about you all day, and make him more than eager to go home to you.
4.
Improve communication lines.
No, we don't mean the telephone.
We are referring to being able to talk to each other openly.
Ask him how his day was, and tell him about yours.
When he talks, even if it is about something you are not really interested in such as a baseball game, listen still.
Barriers occur when the other person feels he or she cannot openly talk to you.
