8 Marriage Ruts You Should Avoid!

I caught this over on MSN… I posted the list but for the complete details on each one go here

Rut #1: Watching TV During Dinner

Rut #2: Going Too Long Without Sex

(You all should definitely be against this one :-) )

Rut #3: Going a Whole Workday Without Talking to Your Sweetheart

(Even though me and TheMom have very busy days we make a point to talk to each other at least once.)

Rut #4: Tuning Each Other Out

Rut #5: Not Fighting

(Do you think fighting is good for a relationship?_

Rut #6: Going out More with Friends Than with Your Spouse

Rut #7: Being Too Close

(You’ve got to follow the link to read the explanation for this one, then come back and comment)

Rut #8: Sharing Too Much with Your Parents or In-laws

(I hope you already know this one, don’t get caught in the trap…)

BMWK, what do you think about this list? Are all 8 on point, can you take or leave something? What would you add yourself. Has your marriage ever been in a rut and if so how did you get out? Please share. You know how we do… let’s talk about it.

    This list is spot on. My wife and I have been married for 11 years and we work to make sure that the aforementioned issues don't stifle our marriage. It is a daily struggle, but we do our best to keep our marriage fresh and remain connected. Mocha Dads last blog post..Black Moses

    Great list. The only thing I'd say is that having dinner together while watching a really good movie is fun. If it's just something mundane, a couple does better skipping TV and sitting together. Kit (Keep It Trill)s last blog post..Hard Rocks Love - Lesson 5: Treachery & Toxic Secrets
