Best Things You Can Do Right Now to Improve Your Marriage

Are you looking for ways to improve your marriage? Some couples make marriage look easy. And when you see them, you secretly say to yourself:

“I want a relationship just like theirs.”

Or,

“If only my spouse treated me that way.”

Or, sometimes you secretly hate on them and think:

“Oh Lord, here they come again…they think they’re perfect…but I bet they can’t stand each other at home.”

But, you really don’t get to see all of the energy that they are putting into developing a good marriage. Let’s face it,  if you want to have a healthy marriage, then you’re going to have to work at it. And I know you’re saying, “There she goes again with that ‘work’ word.” However, it doesn’t always have to be hard work!

Lamar and I just recently came back from a marriage conference, and one of the presenters said .Being in a constant state of gaining new skills helps you stay out of dysfunctional relationships.

All couples hit bumps in the road. How you respond to those bumps in the road makes a big difference. Do you view those bumps in the road as an opportunity to build and grow your marriage? Or do you allow problems to cause you to grow apart? Sometimes people just resign themselves to a mediocre marriage. However, if you don’t work on the relationship and your marriage is only mediocre to begin with, you’ll be entering into dangerous territory when you hit some bumps in the road. Strive to make your marriage the best it can be. Take stock of the areas in which you could improve on and work on strategies to improve the health of your marriage on a daily basis.

So, I took the liberty of pulling together 7 simple things that you can do help your marriage now:

Do a Marriage Challenge Together

Marriage challenges provide great ways for you and your spouse to connect on a daily basis. Just query a search engine for “Marriage Challenge” and you will be presented with a variety of options to choose from. Blogger Sheree Adam

“After you take the challenge, you may want to do it again…and again. Be sure to challenge other couples to take it as well. It doesn’t matter if you start in the middle of the month. Just do it. What’s important is that you realize how important it is to connect, re-connect and STAY connected to your mate. Just watch the bond between you and your love grow stronger!”

Kiss Every Day

Relationship coach Tiya Cunningham Sumter says touching regularly is one of the Tiya says: “Holding hands, kissing, gazing into each other’s eyes and making love always produce a stronger relationship. Keep in mind we can’t argue, fuss or fight while we’re physically connected.”

Follow Marriage Focused Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts

Social Media is being used to embarrass, bully, and humiliate people every day. But we can also use those same tools to uplift and strengthen marriages. Follow a few social media accounts that send positive messages and links to articles that support healthy marriages. These are particularly good on days that you are feeling down or are having marital issues.

Learn about Each Other’s Money Habits

Finances and money problems are among the top conflicts between couples. Syble Solomon, creator of Money Habitudes says: “When couples have a healthy relationship with money and can productively discuss and manage their differences in spending and savings patterns, they will likely experience fewer challenging conflicts in other areas of their lives together.” Money Habitudes is a fun and easy way to for couples to talk about money

Read a Marriage Book Together

Reading a marriage/relationship book together is a cheap and easy way to strengthen your marriage. Read a few chapters and then discuss them together It’s a great tool that couples can use to increase their intimacy.

Pray Together

A great way to start your day is saying a prayer together. In the article 

Dr. Michelle Johnson urges couples to nurture their spiritual connection (as well as their physical and emotional connections). She says:

Spiritual intercourse, in my opinion, is the most powerful kind of intercourse because it’s the closest to God, who is a Spirit. When your physical bodies are tired or just unable to engage sexually, and when you’re too angry or hurt to speak to each other, you can call on your spirit to remind you why you fell in love in the first place.

A lot of relationships have problems because they start off heavy with the sexual, skim the surface of the emotional, and rarely ever reach the spiritual. Or, if they do touch on all 3, they fail to nurture them consistently. And when you don’t nurture something living, it dies. Which is the precise reason why it’s important to have this discussion and to be intentional about growth and balance. More of one type of intercourse and none of the other is not good either.

Be Present Every Day

It’s literally possible to be in someone’s presence every day, but not really be present. Make sure that you are connecting and engaging with each other every day. And when you are talking to each other, make sure that you are in the moment and focused on “now”…not work..not the bills…nor something you have to do tomorrow.

How To Satisfy your Man In Bed and Make Him Remember You Forever

For a longlasting relationship,one of the vital aspect in a relationship,is the the sexuality trait.

When you talking about satisfying a man in bed is far important as how women take care of their skin ( skin deep). The notion that men are simple sexual creatures could be descibe as men being intricate as women.

Satisfying a man sexually and have him remember you always isn’t the easiest thing to do,i really must be sincere.

There are tips to share on Ways To Satisfy Your Man In Bed

1. Take your time – Some women think that men care only about lovemaking and not the process it requires. This is a wrong notion. Even as it is important for a man to orgasm,they also enjoy the process of romancing too. That’s why the series of foreplay a woman takes part goes a long way that a man would always appreciate every moment.

2. Change positions – Men are crazy about varieties of foreplay and it’s easy for them to get bored if your lovemaking follows the same pattern over and over again. To easily change that all you need to do is change your sexual positions from time to time. Some positions can be more pleasurable for both of you, and you might find one which you haven’t tried before that gives you extreme pleasure, so it’s worth trying out new stuff.The Missinarry style is the oldest and most common sex position.Men would really appreciate varieties of sex styles.

3. Don’t be stiff during love making – One of the things men complain about is that their woman doesn’t move in bed. “All she does is just lie there in which I’ve heard a lot of men say. Your man wishes to see that you’re flexible in moment. If you don’t seem like an active participant, it takes a lot of the fun away. Also, adding your own movements to his will increase his pleasure speedly, not to mention yours.

4. Use your hands – We all know that the male genital area is sensitive to the touch. Your hands can do wonders to get your man into the mood and send him into ecstasy. Make sure to use irregular strokes and change the pace often. One tip which I found immensely helpful is to use some baby oil on your hands. This can literally send your man into pleasure shock.

5. Oral Sex – One thing which all men enjoy is oral sex. To really please your man sexually, you have to give him some good oral sex. Men are naturally grateful for women who do that, and you’d probably get some special treatment in return. Make sure to take your time and experiment with different techniques.

Tips For love & Relationship Bliss

• One of the most common questions we hear is, “How do we make our relationship work?” The answers are complicated, varied, and, after a while, can start to sound like muddled platitudes. But these commonplace sayings get repeated because they work. With this in mind, we pulled together 12 cliches that, in fact, reveal simple, tried-and-true advice for having a healthy, happy relationship. Read on and let us know what you think
•    Mind your manners. ”Please,” “thank you” and “you’re welcome,” can go a long way in helping your partner remember that you respect and love him and don’t take him for granted.
•   Variety is the spice of life. Studies have shown that dullness can lead to dissatisfaction with a relationship. Trying something new can be as simple as visiting an unfamiliar restaurant or as grand as a backpacking trip through your home country. Discoveries you make together will keep you feeling close.
•   The couple that plays together, stays together. Find a sport or hobby that you both love (no, watching TV does not count) and make that a priority in your relationship. Camping, biking, building model trains… whatever it is, find something you enjoy doing together
•    Fight right. In order to have productive arguments, keep these rules in mind. Don’t call your spouse names. When things get really tough, take a break from the argument. Let the other person finish his/her sentences. Don’t initiate a discussion when you’re angry
•    I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine. No one likes demands (unless you’re in a BDSM role play), but everyone can appreciate a compromise. If you want your lover to do something and you’re not sure he’ll be agreeable, the quickest way to avoid a confrontation is to sweeten the deal. For example: “Sure, I’ll watch Monday Night Football if you take me to see the next movie of my choice.”
•    Two heads are better than one. Being in a relationship basically means you’ve made a merger; you’ve not only joined assets but inherited the other’s problems as well. Rather than looking at his problems as merely his own, tackle them together. For example, if he’s gaining weight, rather than pushing him to diet on his own, enroll in an exercise program together
•   Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Maintain your own friendships and occasionally have a night out without your significant other. Doing things without your s.o. not only makes you miss him or her, it also keeps you sane. And, in case the relationship doesn’t work out, you’ll still have your friends.
•    Sound it out. It other words: communicate! Talking out the tough subjects—money, religion, fidelity, raising kids—will not be the most fun you’ve had, but it’ll be valuable
•   Laughter is the best medicine. Learn to laugh at yourself and at silly mistakes. If he throws your $300 cashmere sweater in the dryer, laughing it off is, in the long run, better than getting angry. It’s is just a $300 cashmere sweater, not the end of the world.
•    Keep your eyes on the prize. Yes, he forgot your co-worker’s name for the tenth time, but it probably doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about you. If you keep your perspective fixed on the goal—to be in a happy, functioning partnership—you’re less likely to get tangled up in every minor annoyance. Remember, you both want the same thing.
•    Quitters never win. Find a ritual and keep it alive, no matter what. Whether it’s always kissing each other good night, renewing wedding vows every year, sleeping in as late as you want once a month or committing to doing something with a lot of fun once a week, pick something that makes you both feel good and stick to it, even when you’re tempted to skip.
•    When the going gets tough, the tough get going… to therapy. Studies show that couples who seek counseling during rocky periods are more successful in resolving their issues than those who don’t. Whether its from a religious figure, counselor or mental health professional, getting an expert to help sort out strife is as wise as forgoing self-installation and hiring a plumber to put in a new sink.Culled :Tango
