Tricks That Make Your Marriage Stronger

Recent study has shown that over time, when relationships are not worked on, the long-life union between a man and a woman gets boring.

Being romantic, having a marriage therapist to talk to during a disagreement between you and your spouse and many more wont guarantee an amazing marriage BUT….here are some surprising tips that can enhance your marriage.

With sêx, aim for quantity over quality.

Most times we are too busy to even have "quality" time together excusing it on our tight schedules and how busy we are. The truth is, with sex, when you do not have enough time to go all the way, a quickie which does not need too much preparations before it happens will sure be handy. Don’t concentrate on having the whole day to yourself to have a good time with your spouse. The rule is, even if it is ten minutes, make it count!

Write about your fights.

This is believed to work wonders because there are ways things we write down stick to our consciousness, making us see reasons why we should or should not repeat the behaviors as situation demands. According to a study from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, couples who wrote for seven minutes three times a year about previous marital conflicts from a third-party perspective reported greater relationship satisfaction than those who didn’t.

Hug for 2 minutes and kiss for 30 seconds each day.

Many a times, we often deceive ourselves with  30 seconds pecks and embraces that have less benefits compared to having or giving out real kisses and hugs for same duration of time. Our body needs to feel the chemical reaction that oozes from kissing and hugging a loved one.

Match up your boozing levels.

Have you heard about a saying that says…."Couples who drink together stay together"? A study has affirmed that couples with equal amount of drinking level are likely to divorce while those with great difference in drinking habits are better breeding grounds for divorce. Although this does not give you both the ticket to be drunk all night but it does help you both to playfully unwinding the day’s tension.

Jot down your guy’s sweet deeds.

Most times, many little things done for us by our spouses tend to get overlooked by us because we see at as "one of those things" which ought not to be. In relationships, little things count. Are you a woman that feels you do not know how to appreciate your man? You do not need to start in a big way. Writing out a list of what your man did during the week and tagging it a "thank you note" and attaching it to your bedside where you know he would see it will definately make him feel special when he does.Maybe he filled up your gas tank without you mentioning it was getting low, or brought you flowers for no good reason, appreciate it!

Schedule rom-com date nights.

Always make it your duty to plan watching a romantic movie together, at least once in seven days. Talking and watching romantic flicks help married people to reflect on their own relationships using the movie as a yardstick to improving their relationships.

That said, do you have any other trick that has worked in your relationships that is not on this list? What are they?
