Over time, when marriage includes that consistency of loving unconditionally, extending grace, and learning to do life together, it opens both hearts to grow closer together as time passes. What you want now takes time. Love did it again.
And it does it again over and over because you commit every day.

If you haven’t noticed, the honeymoon phase fades away after being married for a few years and beyond, leaving little room for the bubbling-over romance. Real life creeps in, and life takes over your schedule and sometimes your heart.
But if we all were to buy into this thought, no one would stay married. Everyone would find a way or reason to divorce. Yet, just like fine wine, marriage gets better with time.
So what if you could have that fine marriage you really want, are you willing to put in the work and the consistency?
I guess that you most certainly are!
What would that take for you to commit? To actually say every day that this is the marriage you want and the way you will go?
It’s all in the decision!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Decide!
Here are three key strategies for couples to stay dedicated to each other and nurture their bond, knowing that love has the power to transform and grow:
1. Practice Active Listening: Communication is the cornerstone of a strong and healthy marriage. Take the time to truly listen to your partner without interrupting or forming your response in your mind. Show empathy, understanding, and validation towards their thoughts and feelings. By actively listening, you demonstrate respect and care for your spouse, fostering a deeper connection and trust in the relationship.
2. Prioritize Quality Time Together: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy for couples to become caught up in their individual responsibilities and neglect quality time together. Make a conscious effort to carve out moments for just the two of you to bond and connect. Whether it’s a weekly date night, a weekend getaway, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, investing in shared experiences strengthens your emotional intimacy and reinforces your commitment to each other.
3. Celebrate Each Other and Your Growth: As individuals, we are constantly evolving and learning. In a marriage, it’s important to support and celebrate each other’s personal growth and achievements. Acknowledge and appreciate the efforts your partner makes towards self-improvement and encourage them to pursue their passions and goals. By cheering each other on and being each other’s greatest cheerleader, you create a supportive and loving environment that nurtures the growth of your relationship.
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
