Having a happy marriage shouldn’t feel like some elusive goal. Despite all the negativity you may hear or see, happy marriages do exist. They don’t just happen by chance, though. A happy marriage is something that happens when each partner is willing to do some individual work, and together the couple is willing to work on their marriage.
A happy and healthy marriage requires a happy and healthy you. It saddens me to see anyone put every thing they’ve got into a relationship, while pouring nothing into themselves. You matter more than anything. How can you really give a relationship your all when you are not in a good place? How can you build a strong marriage when you haven’t built your personal strength?
Women have the tendency to give and give to the people they love most—especially spouses and children—while failing to take the time to make their own needs a priority. So many women put themselves at the bottom of the priorities list, meeting their personal needs only when the needs of everyone they love have been met.
I believe that the women who are truly happy in their marriages have made an effort to take care of their own needs. By making self-care a priority, these women are able to approach their marriage with clarity, calm, and a sense of wellness that both partners should have to make things work.
Below are five things every woman needs in her life to have a happy marriage. Focusing on these things won’t change a struggling marriage overnight, but I do believe they can really help change your outlook on life, and your marriage, in a very positive way.
