Invest in your marriage on a daily basis.
Like exercise, romance is cumulative: You may not have time to exercise for an hour every day, but even if you get moving 15 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at lunch, those small efforts pay off.building little efforts into your day to accomplish your goal. It’s the same with romance. You may not be able to escape for a long, romantic weekend very often, but you can show small amounts of appreciation and display affection daily, and those efforts really add up.
Beware of Facebook (and other cyber-social connections) as a “Gateway” to emotional and physical affairs.
Know the danger signs of bad behavior related to Facebook so you can protect your marriage. Beware of looking up exes on Facebook, especially high school sweethearts.
Be more like the family dog.
No one is happier to see us walk through the door than our dogs. They greet us, look us in the eye, and show us how happy they are to see us without saying a word! They accomplish this with wagging of their tail and a wet, sloppy kiss. When your spouse comes in — try to do the same.
Stop what you are doing for a moment to welcome him or her home. Look him in the eye. Tell him you are happy to see him. It’s a small effort that will make a big difference over the years. Wagging your tail takes some specialized training , but husbands wouldn’t mind being greeted with a sloppy kiss and a happy dance. Showing that you are focused on your spouse, even if it is just for one moment during the day, can foster intimacy and trust in a relationship.
Additional rules.
