How to Improve Your Marriage

I'm not sure where I found this, but I've had this laying around and it goes perfectly for Marriage & Relationship goals!!

1) Bring the Savior and his teachings into your homes and hearts.

2) Disagreements do not mean failure.

3) Never laugh at your mate either in private or in public.

4) Do not smother each other with excessive restrictions. Respect the other's needs and goals. Don't have expectations. (Happened once and recently. My husband wants this car, which I don't quite like. We do need another car, since now I will be working. But it's more of a high school guy's car....plus I get more car sick than I normally do in this car. I told my Jason how I felt....and well I was crushing his dreams. Plus he's doing fantastic with getting presentations for our business!! We talked it through and we might be getting the car, we shall see if it's still there at the end of harvest...and I will be okay with it)

5) Compliment each other sincerely and often. (My husband has a hard time with this, but I'm okay without it, it's not the most important thing, but it sure is good to have)

6) Never resort to not speaking to each other, or by extension, sleeping on the couch, or going home to parents, etc) (The only time he sleeps on the couch is when I'm sick, after he has taken care of me)

7) Say, "I'm sorry" and really mean it. Along with learning to say "I'm sorry" Learn to say "I forgive"

8) Never turn to a third party in time of trouble, except appropriate family members, your bishop, or stake president.

9) Retain the joy in your marriage. God intends us to find joy in life.

10) Pray often.
