- Marriage is Hard work! 1. When your spouse doesnt understand what youre saying, explain your point more clearly instead of raising your voice. 2. Have a sensitive issue to discuss? Consider setting up a time to talk about it when youll both be attentive. 3. Marriage fail when spouses talk at each other, rather than to each other. 4. Listening means listening, not fixing the situation. 5. When both partners try to rule each other instead of submitting to one other, the marriage begins to break. 6. A marriage built on a sound foundation can withstand & outlast its tense moments. 7. There arent any shortcuts to building a marriage that lasts. Be prepared to invest yourself, time, and money. 8. Plant seeds now in your marriage that you want reap later. Planting is a belief in the future! 9. To connect more deeply with your spouse, offer yourself more fully. 10. Yelling is a destructive way to handle conflict. Why? Because the tone is whats heard & remembered, not the message.
