Sometimes, as newlyweds, there are times when we may feel that we need to focus on our marriage a bit more. These times could be if we have been busy with the new house and don’t feel like we have been giving the relationship the attention we need to or if you feel your partner is not giving the relationship the attention it needs, but to something else instead. (Hopefully in either case you have thought/talked about how to solve these problems.) I have also been told there is a phase in marriage where it can come more of a business partnership rather than an enjoyable relationship. If your relationship has gotten to that stage this may be another reason to focus on your marriage.

The question is: How do I focus on my marriage?! Sounds easy enough, but what can I do on a daily basis that will ensure I focus on my marriage in a positive way?

Dr. Karen, who deems herself a relationship expert, advises to do this:

Every morning when you wake up ask yourself:
1. What is one thing I can do today to help enhance my marriage?
2. What is one thing I can do today to help my spouse feel loved, valued, appreciated, and special?
Make sure to implement your answer to your questions that very day.
Every night before you go to sleep ask yourself:
1. What is the one thing I did today to help enhance my marriage?
2. What did I do today that helped my spouse to feel loved, valued, appreciated, and special?

The thing about this technique is you have to be honest with yourself. If you are lying to yourself about how you could enhance your marriage or if you implemented it that day you are not going to make any improvements! Really think about what you could do. Maybe even talk to your spouse about ways to make them feel loved. For me personally this is something that I may put in my journal. That way I could actually remember and refer back to what I had focused on previously. This also may be a good way to write down any responses/changes you see in your spouse and if you feel it is improving your marriage.

I believe our marriage is just like any thing else (career, hobby, etc). We must spend time focusing on our marriage to improve it and make it the best it can be. If you feel like you need to focus on your marriage try out this little technique and see if it makes a difference!
