Are you saving?

There are several things you could be saving when it comes to your relationship. Here are just a few.

• Saving your good energy for your spouse’s sake is also an excellent way to ensure your marriage is rich. Your spouse doesn’t usually deserve the pissed off and angry you. We can’t bring our problems from work into our home. Home is a safe haven and a space where peace needs to dwell. Each individual is responsible for creating and maintaining that. We have to learn how to shut out the world and focus on our best friend and lover. Negative energy hurts feelings and ruins relationships.
• Saving all your love can include flirting and enticing your mate. A marriage rich in passion, attraction, and sexiness is a wealthy one indeed. As we get dressed, we should be thinking how good this will look to our spouse. Whenever we need some attention, our spouse should be the first to know. Our love is their love and vice versa. It should be exciting and make our partners anxious for more.

Are you investing?  

Your commitment is real. Marriage is lifelong and everyone who enters has to be ready to fully invest. We can’t expect to have a happy marriage if we haven’t contributed anything to actually make it happy.
