If You Are Not Doing These 2 Things Than Your Marriage Will Suffer

by Sarah Scott

Most important things first, no matter what the reason your relationship is coming apart, I am going to share with you is two ways in which you can improve your marriage. Other information you see all over the web are just surface level information that does not get to the base of why your relationship is going down hill. Yes, a good and healthy relationship has communication, trust, passion, and intimacy. Couples who are not struggling in their marriage have 2 things in common.

1. Be Aware of Your Partner

Do you know that absence of intimacy, communication and passion are all stemmed from a similar issue? Lack of awareness. These days, stress and negative emotions due to stress makes "zoning out" easy. Watching television, browsing the net, watching sports and so forth are how we relax from a busy day but if you like to do these activities instead of connecting with your other half, than your marriage will suffer.

This is when you have to "wake up" and become more mindful of your surroundings, your feelings, and your marriage. If you're sleep walking through life and allowing outside distractions to stop you from connecting with your spouse, than your relationship will head down the wrong road.

This doesn't mean that you should avoid hanging out in front of the TV or getting lost in a book, it is only damaging to your relationship if you would prefer to do other things than connect with your other half. With awareness and mindfulness, you will become curious about your spouse. You will remember your spouse as their own person with their own hopes, dreams and fears. Many times, when we get stuck in a relationship "rut" we forget to connect in a deep way with the person we fall asleep next to every night.

When you are with your spouse, be in the present moment. Breathe that moment in. Practice being in the moment when you are with your partner rather than stressing about the past and the future. This is going to help you and your spouse create more opportunities to connect in a deep and meaningful way.

2. Accept What You Cannot Control

Not resisting your reality will help you accept situations without adding unnecessary pain or suffering. Permit whatever turns out to be okay. This doesn't mean you can't feel your emotions and be upset. This only means to not fight the situation by trying to change it. If you and your partner are fighting because of different perspectives, instead of being angry because you can't get them to change their mind, just accept that your partner has their own thoughts and feelings. When you let yourself be a "yes" to what comes your way, you get a better chance of decreasing conflict and finding a solution to the issue. Remember, you can only control your own thoughts and feelings, and you can't control what your spouse wants.

Another example of not resisting something is when you don't EXPECT anything out of your spouse. You love and accept them for who they may be, and ensure you avoid putting your spouse in a box or on a pedestal. These tips may seem too straightforward but they are vital to having a good and flourishing marriage.
