Marital advice and tips for building a healthy and successful relationship Part 3

Marital Advice No: 9 – in building a successful marriage is Ask your partner how you can be a better spouse to them

This particular marital advice is linked to effective communication. Its an advice that I learnt from a success coach called Jack Canfield and although when I learnt this success principle from him it wasn’t in relation to marriage, I have since adapted the principle to marriage.

Every successful business understands the importance of customer satisfaction and are therefore always looking for feedback from their customers on how they can offer a better service to them in order to retain their business.

As a married couple you can apply this same principle and marital advice. If you want to continue to have a happy and successful marriage, you need to get regular feedback from your spouse on how you can be of better service to them, so that you can meets their needs and keep your relationship profitable and fruitful.

If you don’t get a good service from a supermarket for example you wouldn’t want to go back there again. In the same way if we are not serving our partners and meeting their needs they might be tempted to start looking else where.

My marital advice is this, make a constant effort to ask your spouse what you can do better, how can you better meet their needs, what habits do they want you to develop, what habits do they want you to drop. By doing this you will continue to know the needs of your spouse and meet them, which in turn will lead to the continued success of your relationship.

Marital Advice No: 10 – in building a successful marriage is Keep your marriage healthy

Many marriages fail because couples stop monitoring the health of the relationship. Ignoring your physical health by eating junk food and not working out can lead to diseases, in the same way ignoring the health of your marriage can lead to its break down. click here to learn more about building a healthy marriage.

Marital advice No: 11 – in building a successful marriage is Resolve Conflicts.

Don’t sweep it under the carpet. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger. Develop effective ways of resolving conflicts. You should even assess the common reasons for conflicts in your relationship. What does your spouse complain about regularly, what are the common reasons for arguments that you have noticed in your relationship? How can these be avoided?

Whenever there are conflicts in a marriage they need to be effectively resolved so as not to lead to greater problems in the future. The problem is that many couples lack effective conflict resolutions skills and therefore end up arguing and fighting, making the situation worse instead of reaching a solution.

Marital Advice No: 12 – in building a successful marriage is to Give.

There are many more marital advice I can share with you, I will continue to update this site with more and more of them so keep coming back to check or sign up to the newsletter and you will receive regularly information about updates to the site.

The last marital advice I will be sharing in this article is to develop the habit of giving to your spouse.

The giving of gifts, your love, and your time sometimes speaks louder than words. Be spontaneous in your giving, buy your wife a new bracelet just because, don’t wait for special occasions before you buy her something, and when she asks “what’s this for” (like my wife always does), tell her its just to let her know that you love her. Wives do the same for your husband.

The evidence of Love is giving. God loved the world so much that he gave his son to die for us. You cannot claim you love someone when you don’t give. You can’t say you love your wife yet you don’t give her your time, you can’t say you love your husband yet you won’t help him out financially. Love gives.

Giving to your spouse will help reinforce the love you have for them, it helps them feel secure in the relationship, giving is a way of saying to your husband or wife “I still care for you, I still love you, you still mean the world to me”. However, giving is not to be substituted for telling your spouse that you love them, the two need to go hand in hand, and your spouse still needs to hear the words “I love you” I had to emphasise that because a lot of men think giving gifts automatically tells their wife that they love them, yes she will appreciate the gift but she still needs to hear you say it. As a matter of fact if you are a man reading this STOP! right now and go tell your wife you love her.

So take this marital advice and practice giving regularly to your spouse. “I love you” sounds so much better when it comes with a gift.

Wish you all the best in your marriage as you begin to implement all the marital advice you discovered here.
