Over my life I have learned that creating good relationships takes effort. As our children grew up we had habits that brought us together each day. They included dinner as a family, scripture study, praying as a family and for a period of time we did “family core” which consisted of push-ups, sit-ups, and planks. Those daily habits gave us time to touch base with one another, grow spiritually, laugh, and connect. Now that our nest is empty, we have continued most of those habits because we know that spending time together doing meaningful things will keep our marriage strong. Additional habits we have are kissing each other good-bye and hello whenever one of us leaves or comes home and speaking kindly. Now we’re of course not perfect and there are surely some habits we could add to build up our marriage into an even stronger relationship. The daily habits we’ve established have helped us through 32 years of marriage and will get us through many more as well other habits that we create as time goes on.
Share in the comments below habits that have built up your marriage. We’d love to get your ideas.
