Reconnecting With Your Spouse

We all know that marriage can take a lot of time and effort and sometimes it isn't always the most fun ride. Some people have tried marriage books and seminars but who actually has time to do all these things and still remain happy? At the end of a long and busy day whether you work a full-time job or you have been home all day with screaming kids and dogs that don't listen, you want to be happy. For a marriage to be happy I feel you should use these methods to reconnect with your spouse and show them that you truly care and want to be happy with them.

Kiss your spouse daily:

You should always kiss your spouse on a daily basis. It shouldn't matter what terms you are on, always kiss your spouse. Because when they leave the house you have no idea if that will be the last time you see them. Plus the need to be touched is in human nature. This simple act of love toward your spouse can show you care, you love them, and you want you both to be happy.

Laugh:

When was the last time you and your spouse sat down and actually had a good laugh together? Bet you can't remember. Laughter is good for the soul and it will also be good for your marriage. Take some time to sit down and laugh together. Have a good time and stop worrying about what's going on outside your marriage.

Show them thankfulness:

I know it can be hard to swallow our pride and actually thank our spouse when they do something for us. But showing just a little kindness and thanking them or showing them gratitude can change the entire mood of your marriage. Instead of fussing at your husband for dragging pickle juice from the trash bag all over the floor, thank him for taking out the trash when its 15 degrees outside and ask if he will help clean up the juice. You will begin to see a difference in not only your spouse's attitude but in your marriage as well.

Make your love known:

Make sure that your partner knows they are loved. I love to leave little notes around my house so my husband will find them and know that I am thinking about him and care for him. Even just setting out his uniform for the next day or waking up early to fix him breakfast. I know when I show gratitude towards my husband he absolutely loves it and I can see in his face that he knows I love and care for him. Making just the smallest gesture for your spouse can make the world of difference.

Avert from your schedule:

It can be so easy to get on a schedule and how things work day in and out. Mix it up a little. Maybe instead of making dinner and watching TV on a Wednesday night, go out and have fun as a couple. Mixing things up can be a great way to get out of the daily rut and enjoy some quality time with your love.

Last one and I feel it is the most important!

Always date your spouse!

When you get married you should never stop dating your spouse. Wear that outfit he likes, wear that cologne she loves, open the doors for her and ladies compliment his shirt. You should never leave the dating phase and always spend quality time with your spouse.

I know getting out of marriage ruts are difficult but if you follow these you will definitely see a difference in yourself, your spouse and your marriage. Just know this isn't the end and it will all work out.
