Lessons For a Happy Marriage
Plan your life and plan to
love The love you feel for each other is
just the beginning. It gets better every day, And here is how! Forget those people who tell
you how your love and passion will take a back seat to the so called realities
of life. What do they know! Just because everybody says the same thing
doesnt make it true either. Remember not too long ago everyone believed if
you sailed too far west you would fall off the edge of the world. Ignorance is
ignorance no matter where it comes from. You have the ability to have increased
love in your marriage and it aint hard! The first thing you need to
do is not do anything dumb (any more). Fights are no longer acceptable forms of
communication. If you feel the urge to be rude go stand in front of the mirror
first and take the aggression and anger out of your system by forcing a smile
on your face (it is your face and it must do as it is told). Say to your image you are
so awesome and beautiful, nothing can make you angry. If you get angry you
wont look beautiful anymore and you will feel like a dope later. Have a drink
of water and remember how amazing your lover is. Next, replace the
destructive notions with powerful ideas of praise for your spouse. Crowd out
the rat thoughts that are nibbling on your happiness with loyal thoughts of
praise and admiration. Recall the qualities that won you over in the first
place and dont even allow thoughts like nobody is perfect in your mind. It
is your mind and you can make it think and feel any way you wish. Plan to say something to
your spouse that will make them feel special every day. Plan to understand more
about your spouse every single day (dont be a pest - be subtle). Praise your spouse every
single day - can be for the same thing as yesterday Tell your spouse I love
you as often as possible Hold hands even when you
dont feel like it Always respond affectionately
to affection The one you married is your
ideal spouse and co-parent. Appreciation is always appreciated and expectations
always lead to disappointment. You will have the best
marriage that ever was. You will be a newlywed forever.
