Marriage can be life giving…or the opposite. It seems the deepest wounds most people carry come from a marital relationship. I ran across the simplest set of 5 things to keep in mind in a marriage relationship. I’d like to share them
1. Love alone isn’t enough to hold a marriage together.
What truly sustains a marriage is commitment, effort and the willingness to adapt.
2. You’re going to fight … a lot
It’s not the fighting that damages relationships — it’s how couples choose to handle their disagreements. Healthy conflict can bring you closer
3. Your partner won’t — and can’t — meet all of your needs.
Don’t expect them to.
4. Without constant maintenance, your marriage will crumble.
The honeymoon phase may feel effortless, but over time, life’s responsibilities — work, kids, finances, health — often puts the relationship lower on the priority list.
5. You are both going to change individually.
Embrace change, don’t resist it. Be a part of your partners journey through life…not the one trying to hold them back
