This article is from a husbands' and fathers' perspective, and highlights some really great suggestions, ultimately emphasizing the importance of taking the time to communicate our appreciation to and for our spouse/loved one.

I want to add that not only does this improve your relationship and strengthen your marriage, but if you have children, it's a wonderful example to set for them on what's important in a relationship and how to treat your significant other in life.  We tend to forget that children absorb everything.  What they see in their home is what they internalize for themselves and their future relationships.  It’s not what we tell them, its what we show them!

As this article states, it is often difficult when you have trouble in your marriage, especially when it's to the point you're actually thinking about divorce.  However, it doesn't have to be hopeless, and it doesn't have to be irreparable, IF you are willing to put in the time and effort into making reparations and rejuvenating your relationship.

As we have said time and again, marriage is hard work.  It's important to have open, honest communication, and to actually listen to each other, as there is a difference between listening and hearing.

This article discusses several key points on how you can repair your broken marriage.

This article shows how quickly a relationship can go wrong from the beginning.  Often, we look for someone who is interesting and different.  However, after connecting and developing a relationship, we often then look to change that person to be more like ourselves.  It's never good to enter into a relationship thinking that you can change someone, whether consciously or unconsciously, as it will set the foundation for disaster.

This article gives the current pulse on what therapists are hearing from couples in marriage counseling.

With all the demands of life, emotional distancing has become a problem for many.  Ironically, working from home and being together more often can actually create distancing and lack of intimacy because everyone involved is being pulled in multiple directions with multiple distractions.

However, there is a simple solution:  make time to talk on a regular basis and work out your problems together.

This may sound like a simple fix, but just spending some short regular quality time together, like eating breakfast or having a cup of coffee, can really help things improve.

People are even wondering whether they have to make time and schedule intimacy or make an appointment for sex. Please note however that there is a difference between intimacy and sex.  If things have staled, you may have to rejuvenate the intimacy between each other and know what you love about your partner before you jump start your sex life.

It's extremely important, notwithstanding the “love fog” that starts when you meet somebody and fall in love, to take time to really slow down and get to know one another on a deeper level. Beginnings of relationships are happy and fun and can move exponentially fast.  The great first impression everyone gives when they are dating is not a true reflection of who they are as a person.  You really need to dig deep and find out about each other before you choose to walk down the aisle.

You want to know and see the “true character” of the person you are planning to be a significant person/partner with in your life.  Their character alone can shed light on the compatibility of a future together.

This article highlights seven other items that you should really explore and get to know about each other, your families and what you wish and dream for the future.
