WAYS TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE IN TWO MINUTES
HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW TOWARD CERTAIN ACTIONS
Over the years, couples tend to forget why they chose each other and focus on the things that bother them. Research shows that the longer you are married, the more likely you are to give daily actions a negative rather than a positive reason, and this can have serious consequences. The more positive the statements about a partner’s behavior, the more likely a couple is to stay together.
Therefore, focus on your husband’s positive qualities rather than his negative ones. For example; Instead of thinking that he leaves dirty dishes in the sink because he is lazy, think that he is so good at work that he is too busy to wash them before going to work.
KISSING IS NOT JUST FUN, IT IS IMPORTANT TOO…
One in five married couples don’t make time for kissing, usually because they are too busy. Make an effort to kiss your partner once a day for at least a week. Kiss her on the cheek or lips with an intimate kiss. Researchers from Arizona State University revealed that couples who crown their relationships with a kiss experience less stress and also have a decrease in cholesterol levels.
CELEBRATE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL
Researchers from UCLA and the University of Rochester examined four ways spouses respond to each other’s successes: Excited, supportive but quiet, no response, and actively discouraging.
It turns out that couples who react discouragingly to each other’s successes are less happy in their marriages. Also surprisingly, people with quietly supportive spouses also had lower levels of marital happiness. Therefore, be excited about successes and make a difference in your marriage with small celebrations.
When you receive news of your spouse’s success, celebrate with a special meal.
