What is the recipe for a healthy marriage?

let them have freedomWhat is the recipe for a healthy marriage?
Listen to each other.


Don't be afraid to have disagreements, it's better to get things out in the open than let ir brew for months at which point you explode at your partner.


Be nice, considerate and respectful, you can do this by remembering that your partner deserves the same respect everyone else does. Too often we think its ok to treat our own partner poorly.


I also find it important to do things together, at least once per week if possible. And that doesn't include grocery shopping, it has to be something special where you can actually spend time together. Even if its just a 5 minute walk down the street, just SOMETHING other than ordinary daily grind so that you can get out of the house and spend some time together.


Be a friend to your partner.What is the recipe for a healthy marriage?
Respect each other's needs and wishes, be attentive, put your partner before yourself, be honest, don't forget to appreciate the little things,try new things together to keep the relationship fresh, dont hold things inside but dont be over critical either,show affection,be faithful,be forgiving and listen to one another....its also important to keep God in the relationship! It's hard work!
.CHERISH YOUR WIFE. RESPECT YOUR HUSBAND.





The core emotional need of a woman is to be cherished. This is the husband's number one responsibility. That means making her feel loved and appreciated, that she's your number one priority.





A man's core emotional need is to feel respected by his wife. When he comes home, he wants to feel that there is at least one person in the world who thinks he's got what it takes. That means getting off the phone when he walks in the door.














2.TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE GOOD FRIENDS





Under the marriage canopy one of the seven blessings given to the bride and groom is that they should become ';beloved friends.';





The hallmark of friendship is that each person validates and respects the other person's feelings and needs. Validation means: What's important to you is important to me. It's a key way to make your spouse feel loved.














3. REMEMBER THE FOUR GOLDEN WORDS: LISTEN, COMPROMISE, REPAIR, AND GRATITUDE.





Agree to keep one basic rule at the beginning of your marriage: No matter how upset you are, never launch a verbal attack. Fighting with insults only makes problems worse and erodes the relationship. Instead, implement the four golden words:





Listening: It's essential for working together and solving problems. Allow your spouse to speak without interruption and then repeat what has just been said. This reassures your spouse that he or she was heard.





Compromise: Strive to solve problems where both of you are happy with the solution. Neither one should feel coerced into accepting the other person's point of view.





Repair: When you hurt each other emotionally, repair the breakdown and remove the lingering feelings of anger and resentment. Aim for 100% reconciliation. A little resentment multiplied 50 times can create a wall of bitterness.





Gratitude: You can never say thank you enough to your spouse. Try to notice everything your spouse does for you and acknowledge it with sincere gratitude.





4. ESTABLISH STRONG BOUNDARIES





Your spouse is your number one priority - not your parents, relatives, friends, children, work, or hobbies. Set strong boundaries that show you value your marriage and don't allow anyone or anything to weaken your relationship.





That means meeting your spouse's needs before your parents' needs, coming home with enough time left in the evening to have quality time together, and inviolate date nights.














5. GIVE EACH OTHER PLEASURE DAILY





Marriage is ultimately about making each other feel good and striving to give your spouse pleasure on a daily basis - on his or her terms. If she says she likes lilies, don't bring her roses because you think they're more romantic.





Learn how your spouse prefers to be given to - whether it's physical affection, words of affirmation, receiving gifts, acts of service (like helping out in the house, running errands) or spending quality time - and get in the daily habit of doing it.





You'll enjoy giving more than receiving.
God should be at the center of your marriage, it should have lots of communication and listening, open-mindedness, unconditional love, trust, honesty, respect, and the ability to share with each other

... I guess I shouldn't talk, I'm not married yet. But from what people have told me and from my own experience in my relationship with my man, those are the key ingredients! Faith in God and trying to do His will is HUGE too!
