Here are five simple ways to keep your marriage warm and alive. Daily doses of hugs and kisses Make it a habit of hugging or kissing your spouse early in the morning before leaving for work. This may look trivial but it will become a second nature once you do it every day. This act of love, albeit simple, is very powerful indeed. It helps to break down barriers easily should you faced with future conflicts. Offering compliments We often forget that before we are husband and wife, we are men and women. As time passed by, you forget how gorgeous she looks in that red dress or how good he smells in the aftershave. Put an effort to compliment each other even if it’s out of your way to do so. If you forget, just text him or her! Date nights After having kids, spending time together is proven to be so much harder. However, a loving relationship between husband and wife is the essence of a happy family. Invest in hiring a babysitter at least once or twice a week so that you could s...

1. SEE THE BEST IN YOUR PARTNER AND THE RELATIONSHIP Research on perception and attention shows that we see more of what we look for, so if you’re looking for signs of kindness, that’s more likely to stand out to you. How you think about and interpret your partner’s actions, intentions, and words also affects how you feel and understand a situation with them, which in turn affects how you behave toward them. Put it into practice: Spend a week looking for anything and everything your partner does “right.” You can even jot down anything you notice for each day if you choose. 2.

Put it into practice: Choose an activity with your partner that you’ve never done together before that you would both find engaging and fun, such as t...

1. Do the things you did the first year you were dating. As the months and years roll on, we tend to slink into our proverbial sweatpants and get lazy in our relationship. We lose our patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and the general effort we once made toward our mate. Think back to the first year of your relationship and write down all the things you used to do for your partner. Now start doing them again. 2. Ask for what you want. Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we don’t need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership and connection. Keep in mind that “asking for what you want” extends to everything from emotional to sexual wants. 3. Become an expert on your partner. Think about who your mate really is and what excites him or her (both physically and...

M ost of us want to meet and settle down with the “right” person, and most of us want such a relationship to last. At the same time, the majority of romantic partnerships end in dissolution. What are some of the major causes?  Below are 9 reasons why relationships fail!! 1. TRUST ISSUES. Trust issues may include factors such as jealousy , possessiveness, unreasonable rigidity, emotional  infidelity , physical/sexual infidelity, relational game playing, lack of reliability and dependability, lack of emotional support, lack of financial compatibility, and lack of mutually-supportive  goals . If you believe trust is a major issue in your relationship (or was in your former relationship), examine whether the lack of trust is based on a pattern of evidence (such as significant broken promises), or mostly subjective emotions (such as jealousy without proof). Consider honestly whether the lack of trust is based on tangible substance or unjustified fears. 2. Diff...
