Not one person can be solely responsible for what happens in the marriage. Both partners need to be involved in order to work out what’s better together.

Yet, someone has to be the one to take the initiative.

It’s kind of like a hockey game. You can have all the hockey players on the ice with their sticks and the puck, but until one person hits the puck, the game hasn’t started.

Your marriage doesn’t live on dreams alone. The house with a white picket fence, two kids, and a handsome husband feels great in your fantasy world. But in reality, it takes action to move mountains for your marriage.

When you realize that actions speak louder than words, you can shift your marriage overnight. Certainly, it will require consistency in your actions, honesty, plus forgiveness. There are proactive steps you can take.

Here are three proactive steps individuals can take to ignite motivation and create a fulfilling marriage:

1. Speak with Actions: Open and honest communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Instead of waiting for the other person to initiate conversations, take the lead in discussing your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. Actively listen to your partner and strive to understand their perspective by asking questions. By fostering a culture of open communication, you can strengthen your bond and resolve conflicts more effectively.

2. Show Appreciation: Expressing gratitude and appreciation for your partner’s efforts can go a long way in reinforcing your connection. Don’t wait for special occasions to show your love; small gestures of kindness and acknowledgment can make a significant impact on your relationship.

Take the initiative to celebrate your partner’s achievements and support them through challenges, demonstrating your commitment and care.

3. Spend Quality Time Together: Building shared experiences is essential for strengthening your relationship. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment to spend time together, prioritize quality moments in your daily life.

Whether it’s a simple dinner date, a weekend getaway, or a leisurely walk in the park, carve out time to connect and enjoy each other’s company.

Investing in your relationship through shared activities and bonding experiences can deepen your emotional intimacy and build a lasting connection that is almost impossible to break.

By taking action and proactively nurturing your marriage, you can create a fulfilling and sustainable partnership that works for both you and your partner.

Remember, in marriage, it takes one to start and two to finish.
