How do you make marriage better?

I know, I know marriage is great. I know it is! My husband and I have had a lot of difficulties, but we seem to be making it alot better now. I'm just wondering if anyone has tips on having a better marriage.How do you make marriage better?
Open lines of communication, honesty, don't be quick to be offended if something is said that you don't like, always remember what made you fall in love with your partner and never go to bed mad.How do you make marriage better?
Respect each other! I cannot stress this enough. Yes, love, honesty, communication and all that other stuff is extremely important. I'm not downplaying it at all. But if you don't respect each other, none of that other stuff will be enough to make the marriage last. By respect, I mean, don't insult each other, call each other names or make comments just to make the other person angry. Always be considerate of your spouse and treat him or her as an equal.
The longer you are together the closer you become. Working through those difficulties you talked about, help to bring you closer and makes your marriage stronger. Taking time for each other, date night, cuddling together, and talking about the future and your dreams can make it better.
I would say the best way to make your marriage better, even if it is great, is to always rediscover your partner. husbands and wife's tend to grow use to one another and may at times do or say things that they wouldn't do or say had it been in the beginning of the marriage. Also sometimes us wife's get so use to our husbands that we tend to forget about our appearances and become normal housewife's in the sense of we never dress up for our husbands. The best way to make things better is to treat each other, the way you would treat one another, in the beginning of your relationship. you should grow together as well, a lot of marriages consist of husbands going out on men's nights and the wife's going out on ladies nights. That is the biggest no-no. If they need to meet more people they should rather go out together and meet other husbands %26amp; wife's together so that it is mutually beneficial to each one. When it comes to difficulties, the best way to solve it is communication. And you shouldn't try and Communicate in the heat of an argument. When you and your partner is sitting at home and it may seem like there's nothing to talk about, that's the time to communicate about the things you'd like to change or rearrange or just plainly things that might get you worked up. Also when communicating keep in mind that its just communicating and not a time to pass blame...





I personally believe that any man and woman who decides to get married can be happily married, because if both are willing to put in a 100% and if both focus more on their partner than themselves they will keep each other happy. If both partners make it their challenge in life, to fulfill their partners needs, they will have a lasting, happy and succesful marriage.
Have you ever seen the movie Fireproof? Omgosh, awesome movie. There's a book they use in the movie called Love Dare. You can buy it at any Christian bookstore and probably Wal-Mart. It's a day by day book and each day gives you a different task to do for your spouse. My parents did it and they really liked it. And you should watch the movie too! It's so sweet!
try to keep talking, stay open %26amp; honest. don't get easily offended, don't be a suspicious person....





try to make him happy, %26amp; hopefully he will do the same... marriage now seems more like a board game than marriage.
laugh together but dont be afraid to cry together too. Keep open lines of communication and dont lose yourself.
spend alone time together. go out on dates. share a secret with him. ask him to do the same.
