Number one- It is absolutely essential that your spouse is number one on your list of priorities, especially if you want to know how to save marriage. Make a list, giving special attention to where you husband or wife, work and family fits in. If your spouse is on any spot except one your can prepare for problems sooner rather than later in the marriage. Although work and children are very important facets of your life they should not take-up the majority of your efforts, thoughts and emotions, your spouse should.
Time- Time is very limited in these fast paced times. However it is absolutely imperative that time is allocated especially for your better half, even if it requires making an appointment a couple of days or weeks in advance. During these times the couple should do things that both enjoy. Chat freely and openly. Steer clear from confrontations and fights, which make the time more of a burden than pleasure.
Invest in yourself- Do a little investing in yourself. Marriage does not have to mean dull and boring spouses. Buy a couple of new outfits especially sexy underwear or maybe no underwear. Go on a bit of a diet and work-out a proper exercise programme suiting your lifestyle and body. By looking and feeling wonderful your spouse will feel immensely proud of and attracted to you. Remember the bottle of perfume or aftershave you know your spouse loves.
Be reliable- There are few things in life more disappointing and heartbreaking than having an unreliable spouse. Trust takes time to build. If something should happen to break the trust chances are good that it will take a lifetime to rebuild. You want someone you can trust and lean on, that is exactly what your partner wants in you, not someone cheating and lying about everything and everything.
Just human- It is important to remember that your partner is only human with plenty of failures and flaws. Perfection is something you will never achieve, so if this is your aim in a marriage you will be gravely disappointed. You fell in love with this person with all their glitches, so get use to it. Forgive and forget mistakes, past or present. Make sure that your spousal expectation are positive and realistic.
Small is special- It is the small things in life that count and usually it’s the things that are for free, requiring just a little more effort than usual. Take time to think about small things you can do for your spouse to make them feel great or life a little easier. Write him or her a love letter and put it by their bedside light, coffee in bed, wash the dishes or do the laundry without being asked. Pay attention to your other half’s needs and you will without a doubt know how to save marriage.
