If you don’t know, Lamar and I host a weekly twitterchat, #MarriageChat, where we are using the power of Social Media and the web to strengthen marriages across the globe! Every Wednesday at 9pm, we join folks (married and single) in a discussion about topics and issues that are relevant to sustaining healthy relationships. And each week. I leave the chat with food for thought and actions that could be implemented in my own marriage.

Last week, we discussed how to Maintain/Regain Those Loving Feelings that included topics such as intimacy, your spouse’s feelings, and opinions about sex. And we were honored to receive words of wisdom form our special guests Ayize and Aiyana Ma’at, relationship experts and the power couple behind the popular site Black Love and Marriage.

We know that the challenges of every day life can cause stress, resentment, anger, and space in a marriage. Check out our recap that includes 8 ways to maintain the loving feelings in your relationship by clicking each page below.

I am so encouraged by what I have been reading, wow! I'm just thinkin of how easy it can be lose the sense of the relationship. I was going through some of the "speed bumps" in my courtship. If it starts there, how much worse in marriage right? I recently just came out of an almost 2 year relationship with my boyfriend... ex-boyfriend. It still feels very surreal that we are apart, as it literally happened 24hrs ago. I've always felt i had to draw so much energy just for things to be smooth like the conversations (i would have to haul convos out of him sometimes) and i eventually just stopped trying, which in turn changed my feelings for him. I'd be extremely happy to see him the one moment, then be with him and the "convo-vibe" is not what I expected. There plenty of times we got along like a house on fire, then sometimes i just won't know what say around him and it feel like a balloon deflating. I don't know if my grounds for breaking it off were legit. He loves me to bits and i sometimes question my love for him because i find it hard to accept/gel with some of his characteristics. If i match up my love to the love in Cor 13, mine for him did not even come close! Was it a learned thing, learned kind of love?
