Secrets to staying married

There’s no such thing as a perfect
marriage,
but that doesn’t mean
your marriage can’t be fulfilling
and happy.

Building a strong marriage takes
hard work and commitment. It takes
two people who are willing to say to
each other: “I know that tough times
will come, but I promise to stay with
you, no matter what.”

When life gets hard, even the best
marriages are tested. And the ones
that survive are those where each
party made a conscious decision to
stay the course.

In fact, couples who persevere
through trials almost always come
out stronger than ever.

Take time to remind your spouse
how committed you are to your marriage.
Use special occasions, like anniversaries,
holidays, or other family
events to focus on what’s important,
and renew your love and devotion –
both to your mate and your children.

Remind your spouse often, and
see if it doesn’t strengthen your relationship.
And remember, strong marriages
are built on loyalty, and loyalty is a
decision, not a personality trait
