The Fire Within The Couple

You know how when you first start to like your spouse while you were dating? You could text until 2:00AM, facetime for eight hours, talk of the phone every day, and basically spend every minute with each other. While you are dating you can't get enough of each other! Why is this? Because you are curious about them, you want to get to know as much about them as you possibly can. For some couples this changes after they are married for a while. Where did the curiosity go? What happened to the magic? How do we keep the heart of love pumping and alive? Dr. Gottman, a well known marriage therapist has advised that when there is no humor, fun, or interest in our spouses, we can eventually come close to getting a divorce. As we have admiration for our spouses, serve them, and are interested in their lives, I think we can keep the heart going and not fall into the trap of boredom. Turn a new leaf, find something new or interesting about your spouse today. Keep the heart pumping.

You split time and holidays for both and try your best to include both families because one day you will have your own family and that will mean that you will want your own kids to share time and be a part of your family as much as the other. Time is precious and it is important that it is shared as equally as possible. You can't make everyone happy, but you can try your very best to be as fair as possible.

Be Cautious

Marriage is a special union. And that union involves intimacy. We were created to be attracted to the opposite sex as well as marry and procreate. It is a sacred power that is to only be within the bonds of marriage, one that will bring a husband and wife together. And only between a husband and wife. These days there are so many people who think of fidelity as only physical. The problem is that there are different kinds of affairs, emotional and physical. And most if not all of the time emotional affairs lead to physical and can be more harmful than anything else. So, be aware of your relationships with others other than your spouse, and make sure that they are appropriate.
