Keep Marriage Alive

And after reading Elizabeth's How to Have a Happy Marriage When You're Busy Parenting, I am now convinced that it's mainly because my husband and I have been unconciously doing things right. According to her, we should try to...
Look for the good, overlook the bad. I agree 100%. No one is perfect. It is always best to focus on the positive.
Give two compliments every day. This should make you both feel good about yourselves. As cheesy as we may sometimes sound, my husband and I do try to do this a lot.
The 60 second cuddle. I like those little signs of tenderness that comes spontaneously. There is nothing like being hugged for no reason at all. That is my husband's specialty.
Spend more time talking to and listening to your partner. My husband and I never fail to talk about our day at work or with friends during our drive home.
Spend time with your spouse. This is a bit challenging but we try to do this whenever we could.
With kids and the other practical things in life to consider, it is not surprising if our focus and priorities in life have changed. It could even put a strain in our marriage if we are not careful. Work on it. It surely is worth it!
