MY TWO CENTS ON MARRIAGE
1) Go to weddings- (or work at them) -you can't help but fall in love all over again watching others make this awesome commitment.
2) Hold hands when you start to become irritated with one another (before it ever rises to the point of an argument, it really settles your frustration and smooths your tone). This isn't easy to do!
3) Spend time with other married couples at all stages of marriage (newly, with kids, no kids, empty-nesters); you'll remember what you thought you would never forget and you learn what you need to remember.
4) Find out one another's love language and be sure to communicate to them in their's (not yours, like we all will tend to do without intentionally knowing the other's desires).
5) Consider re-writing vows to one-another at different points in your marriage; it is great that we make the all-encompassing ones at the start, but there are stages in our lives together when we need to be reminded of specific unwavering depths of commitment.
6) LIfe can be way too serious--laugh, laugh, laugh together.
7) Don't stop dating each other; the pressure of life creeps in quickly, so set real time aside on the calendar and while you are out--share your latest dreams.
8) Pray together daily--it is vulnerable, healthy, humbling, and unifying!
