Thriving Marriages

The moment you do or say something that hurts your spouse, you stand at a fork in the road, whether you are aware of it or not.

Every marriage bond can slip if the couple doesn’t recognize the warning signs of stress in the marriage and address them.

What do you do when you're not feeling it? Most marriages go through this. You might not want to hear it, but love is a choice.

It’s not a matter of if, but when, you will have an argument, but did you know there is a right way to do it? Arguments can be a good thing.

What is the key to a sexually satisfied marriage? Do you have sympathy or empathy for your spouse? It’ll show between the sheets.

But, you say, there’s no such thing as ultimatums in marriage. Really? Sure there are. Only they’re disguised as boundaries, conditions, even as love. It’s time we each wake up and realize there are conditions with love and relationships.

I’m talking only about scenarios where the inhibitions are a problem. If you and your spouse are fine with how inhibited you are, great!

I have no regrets about listening! I’ve never thought, “Why did I pay such good attention to that person? Why was I so empathetic?”

Often cited as the number one problem is the lack of communication. I don’t believe that’s the case. I believe there's a deeper problem.

Do you help your spouse see both the person they are and could be? You can change your spouse — here's the secret.
