If you want to experience more joy and happiness in your marriage, then you will have to take some time to nurture your relationship. It’s plain and simple as that. If you want a happy marriage, you have to work for it.

The National Healthy Marriage Institute says:

“..relationships are like plants. You can only neglect them for so long before they begin to die.  The longer you neglect plants and relationships, the more time and effort it takes to revive them.”

In the work that we do for this site and our movies, we hear people complaining about their marriages all of the time. And immediately after their complaint, they provide us with various excuses as to why they have not or will not do anything to change their current circumstances.  And most of those problems (excuses) can be easily resolved.
