Steps to a happy marriage don't have to be complicated. Infact, simplicity is key with these simple marriage advice ideas. Use these steps to a happy marriage and learn about your partner and yourself.

How do I have or continue to have a happy marriage?… is the question.

Over time marriages can become more like a business partnership rather than a spouse relationship. When this starts to occur for newlyweds some get a bit confused and don’t understand what is going on. It is important to understand that this is the natural flow of progression, however things can be done to make sure we keep the loving, caring, nurturing side of our relationship going along with the business side that must be attended to.

One relationship expert says:

The key to a healthy, happy, loving, connected, bonded, lasting, and successful marital relationship is to water the plant of marriage each day.

She then says to water the plant of marriage you need to:

  • Make the time and take the time and do not take your marriage for granted.
  • Make the time and take the time and do not take your spouse for granted.
  • Make the time and take the time and spend quality time with your spouse.
  • Make the time and take the time and get to know your spouse throughout your marriage.
  • Make the time and take the time and pay attention to your spouse.
  • Make the time and take the time and be supportive of your spouse.
  • Make the time and take the time and be a dear friend to your spouse.
  • Make the time and take the time to behave in a manner that is trustworthy, reliable, and responsible.
I like how she puts “make the time”, but also “take the time” to do these things. Sometimes it is a matter of changing our schedules or habits to create the time to work on our marriage. After we create the time we then must actually take that time to do so!
Take a moment today to write down one thing that would help you in each of these areas. For instance: Thanking God for my marriage, thank my spouse for working each day and helping provide for me, ask him how his day was at dinner and really listen to him, ask my spouse what goal he is currently wanting to work towards, etc. Make sure to write your list! After you write one down for each topic start implementing them before the week is over!
You are taking steps to ensure you have a happy marriage when you water the plant of marriage daily!
