How to Make Your Marriage Healthy

Commitment
True Commitment means much more
Than simply committing to staying
married. Genuine commitment
Involves being committed to the
Growth and best interest of your
Partner.

Teamwork
Use the five most important words in
marriage: “Let’s try it your way.”

Communication
Without exception, every couple I have
ever worked with struggle with
effective communication. Part of the
reason is that two people with the exact
same communication style rarely
marry each other.

Meeting Emotional Needs
Discover and then meet the emotional
needs of your partner. How? Simple.
Just ask!

Resolving Conflicts
Conflict in marriage is inevitable.
Fighting is optional.

Apology and Forgiveness
On a regular basis, practice three A’s
of successful relationships:
Apologize for something from the past.
Appreciate something in the present.
Anticipate something in the future.

Creating Relationship Vision
Ask yourself and each other
these question:
“If we knew we couldn’t fail, and we
could design our relationship any way
that we wanted it, how would
we like it to be?
