Hey my friend, check out this video. I'm going to teach you how to have a strong
marriage. 4 amazing tips to have a strong marriage.
Hey my friend, I want you to know I have had a marriage that is now lasted almost
28 years and going strong. I want to share with you a little bit about what
I've done and my husband has done together to just increase that strength
that were in our marriage. You know, in a marriage, sometimes it seems like you're
on 2 different pages. Doing 2 different things going 2 different
places. And my husband and I we've we've decided that, you know, in order for us to
really feel like we are on the same page is once a week, we actually get together
and we get calendars out and we look at the plan, we look at the schedule, we look
at what's coming up with both ourselves and with our kids. And it really helps us
to get on the same page. When I'm on the same page with my husband and what with
what he's doing and he's on the same page with what I'm doing, it really helps
us to feel like our marriage is important. It helps me to feel like he
thinks I'm important and that I think he's important. And that really increases
the strength of a marriage. In the past, we would be on 2 different pages going
to different places. Him going this way, me going this way. And it just created
challenge in our marriage. And that one tip alone. Being on the same page when it
comes to our scheduling on our calendar make such a difference. When you
take the, you know, schedule that time like once a week. We do ours on Sunday.
And so once a week, we get together on that day and it's something we do every
single week. It's just part of our routine and that allows us to think
together, plan together. It's also the time when we plan our, you know, getaways.
We like to go on vacations together. And on Sunday, that's when we decided where
we're going to go. And as a couple and then also where we're gonna go as a family.
And that really increases the strength in our in our marriage. So tip number 2
for you is to schedule a date night. Date nights are so... They make such a
difference in your relationship. When you spend time with each other it's like
that connection away from work, away from home, away from family. That time that you
get to connect and just really talk and invest
each other in your relationship with each other. And I've got things I
love to do about date... With date night is we take turns. Like sometimes Kirk will
schedule the date night. Sometimes I'll schedule the date night. And it'll be
totally different, you know, things. Sometimes we'll go out
to dinner. Sometimes a movie. Sometimes we'll go to a bookstore we'll just like
look up books together. And or sometimes we'll just literally walk go on a walk
in the neighborhood. Date night can be really simple. It could be very complex
and we have... We've done simple and complex in our relationship. And I love
that. I love being able to connect with my husband at least once a week. At a
time that's completely like dedicated for each other and it doesn't have to be
like a full-on expensive experience. Honestly, sometimes
even just going to the grocery store together can be a date night. Now, I like
to add you know dinner and grocery store. But hey, you know what? Those are the
types of things. When you... When you know that you're calling it a date night and
you're out together, sharing with each other,
falling in love with each other again. As long as it's just the 2 of you and
you're, you know, away from your family, you're away from your work and you get
to totally focus on each other. Now, date nights with other couples, those are
awesome awesome also. But I think once a week, it's important for you to get
together just the 2 of you. So you 2 can talk and collaborate an experience
and fall in love again. I know that really makes a difference for me. I love
being able to look forward to that date night once a week. My husband and I, we
work hard, we do a lot. And so in the week, if I know I can count on that
moment of that date night together, it really gets me through the week. I know I
could... I can pretty much do anything because I know I've got that moment in that time
that we're going to be spending together. So, date night is definitely a must in
creating a stronger marriage. Tip number 3. You know, a mature and strong
marriage when you understand that each of you need alone time. Time to be by
yourself. I know for my husband, the first thing he would say for his alone time
would be, "I'm going fishing." And I always know that when he goes
he's going to come back so happy and just so rejuvenated. He's going to want to be
with me. And for me, I love having a day where I can just be by myself. If I want
to read a book, if I want to organize something, if I want to just go shopping.
Whatever I want to do. I get to do whatever I want to do. There's not
anybody that I have to answer to. I love those times when I get my cup full and I
feel like I've recharged my battery then I totally want to be with my husband. And
I want to have that romantic experience with him. But it really makes a
difference when we have time away from each other. Not like time working but
time being away, doing something you really just want to do for yourself. That
keeps your marriage alive. When you fill up your cup first and make sure that you
feel great then when you get together and you're together like on your date
night, it's just saucy and amazing. Okay, I've
got tip number 4 for you. And this one is actually my favorite one of
everything. And that's when Kirk and I, we have what we call pillow talk. And that
can be right before we go to bed at night or it could be right when we're
waking up in the morning. That's a time where we just have together. Like just
just even for just a few moments. It could be even like 3 minutes of time
where we just snuggle together and we talk. We talk about the day, we talk about
what what's coming up for the day. We talk about, you know, what dreams we
have. What visions we have for a marriage in our life. One of my favorite things
that we talk about is when we're going to go on our next vacation together? That's
something I love talking about during our pillow talk time. It's just that
connection that is so intimate and loving and I feel so safe because I'm in
my bed comfy and just in my husband's arms. And he is in my arms and we
just get to have that really amazing beautiful connection together. Where
we're talking and and I'm connecting. Now, if it's in the morning, you might need to
have your little mint sticks to your bed so that you can put one of those in your
mouth. So you can actually have a really intimate close, close conversation. So,
mints next to your bed would be a really good idea. So that's my number 4 tip
for you that will just really create that amazing strong relationship with
you and your husband. Hey, I know you you're watching this video because you
