Be realistic about what marriage should be like. We often carry around a template of how our marriage “should” be, based on other marriage we observe, movies we see, and the like. Having these expectations creates more opportunities for your spouse to disappoint, as he or she fails to live up to this template. Take a realistic look at what you would like your marriage to be like, and drop those expectations which are not realistic or not that important to your overall happiness.

Improve your communication skills. There is a lot of technical sounding jargon regarding communication skills, but the most important thing to understand is how to listen. Often, we are thinking of our next point or retort, and not hearing what our spouse is saying. We all have an innate desire to really be heard. By giving the gift of listening to your spouse, not only will your communication improve, but when your spouse feels heard, he or she will be more likely to listen to you, too.

Be complimentary. One negative comment equals 20 positive comments. The negative comments are easy to make, but understand that they are quite destructive to the relationship. By verbalizing the things that you are happy with, as opposed to highlighting all the things you are unhappy with, you make your spouse feel good about him or herself AND you.

Show your appreciation. It’s the little things that count. As we grow more and more familiar with our spouse, many of the niceties fall away. We no longer as them if we can get them something from the kitchen, make their favorite meals, or do one of their chores—just to be nice. Bring back a more neighborly attitude with your spouse (do the things you would do for a friend who was visiting) and you’ll notice the difference. Chances are the niceties will come back to you, as well.
Don’t…
Have a sense of entitlement. Sometimes we find ourselves saying, “Well, if he is not going to take out the garbage, then I’m not doing his laundry.” All this serves to do is set up a cycle of negativity that is difficult to break. Attempting to punish your spouse is demeaning and counterproductive. Instead, decide how you will behave and stick to it, no matter what your spouse does. You spouse will notice your decorum and will be unable to engage you in negative patterns.

It’s one of those marketing ‘facts’ that everybody knows. Certainly the media reinforces this idea, bombarding us with dozens of scantily-clad women in every possible commercial outle

Say whatever comes to mind—especially with touchy subjects. In this day and age, we’ve learned that we have to say what’s on our mind. However, with your spouse, careful editing can go a long way toward getting along. You know your spouse’s buttons—you know what to say to really hurt his or her feelings and it’s tempting to do this when we’re feeling especially angry. But if getting your feelings heard is important, and it IS, you’ll get a lot farther by saying what you need to say carefully, without hurting your spouse’s feelings. It may take time, but your spouse will notice this change and will probably stop trying to push your buttons, too.
Don’t…
Stay in an argument just to win. If every time you argue you set out to win, you could ultimately lose your relationship. Trust and connection between the two of you tends to suffer the most. Approach an argument with the intention to understand the issue and work toward solving the issue in a way that you both feel satisfied. You may need to give a little, but in the end, it’s worth it.
Don’t…
Wait to seek help. With time, negative patterns become habits and hard feelings become more and more ingrained. With timely help, issues can be resolved relatively quickly without a lot of negative history getting in the way. Consider consulting with a licensed marriage and family therapist to determine if couple’s therapy would be helpful for your situation. Consider it a preventative measure against bigger problems in the future.
Note: If your marriage has physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or violence, don’t wait to seek help! Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE or www.ndvh.org
