THRIVE TOGETHER

Marriage is hard and takes lots of work. No one inherently knows how to be a great spouse; it takes years to become proficient at being in a successful relationship. You can’t know if you can flourish as a couple until you learn the tools to create a happy relationship.

Here are five tips to strengthen your relationship with your spouse:

Learn to Process Your Feelings.

Couples should spend time talking about their feelings during difficult times. Just as important, if not more so, is validating each other’s experiences and feelings. People tend to want to rescue others from difficult feelings, but sometimes people just need space to process their emotions before they can fully move through them to the other side.

Have Meaningful Conversations.

Couples should try and find time to have meaningful conversations—even if it’s just 10 minutes a day. Ask each

other questions about your childhood, your current goals, and future hopes and dreams. Many couples find even after decades together that there are still things to discover that will deepen your knowledge of each other.

Find Time to Exercise.

Exercise, whether together or alone, is extremely helpful for increasing positive brain chemistry, and working out stress. Taking the time to go on a walk outside the house when possible gives couples a much-needed change of scenery.

Take a Break from Electronics.

Constantly having a screen in front of your face doesn’t allow for quality interpersonal communication. Setting aside a couple of hours a night or a day a week to go tech-free really forces couples to prioritize one another and practice more face to face interaction. It gives the mind a break and challenges us to find ways to reconnect intentionally with our significant other.

Help Your Partner.

Asking on a daily basis, “What can I do to help you today?” is a simple way to make sure you are actively working to meet your partner’s needs. Whether it’s a long hug, helping with laundry, or a listening ear, checking in to see what your partner’s immediate needs are is a way of putting a “deposit” in your love bank.
