Wedding
Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries.
141. Compliment each other every day
It doesnt take much to make your spouse feel good. Be sincere and when youre given a compliment, even if you dont agree, just say thank you
142. Shut up and listen
You do much more learning with your mouth closed and your mind open. You have one mouth and two ears so you can listen twice as much as you talk.
143. Argue softly
How you say things can have a larger impact that what you say. Remain calm and speak in a normal tone of voice.
144. Be cautious and think before you choose the words you use
Before you speak ask yourself this: if you or your spouse died that moment, would you want what you are about to say to be the last words you shared?
145. At least once a month have a special evening out with another married couple so you can laugh and learn from each others relationship
Have at least one romantic night out per month and bring the romance home with you
146. Take a class together
There are some restaurants that will teach you how to make a meal from start to finish or you can both learn to play a musical instrument. Its a great way to spend time together and see how each other learns.
147. Take turns making decisions
Its no fun when someone asks you for your opinion and you say, whatever you want. If all they wanted was what they wanted, they wouldn't have asked you. Be polite and give a complete and honest answer.
148. Exercise together
Being healthy and taking care of yourself shows your partner that you want to be around for a long time and will be able to care for them if they get ill.
149. Appreciate your partner s strengths as well as their weaknesses
They chose to be with you because there are aspects of your personality that they can learn from and absorb. Show them how much you love them by being supportive when they are weak and proud when they are strong. Listen to what they say, you may learn something.
150. Do the little things
Waking up to a hot cup of coffee or an ironed shirt, or coming home to lit candles are little ways to show that you care.
