1.Respect.
Acknowledge each others roles in the marriage. Recognize and appreciate each others efforts. No matter how tempted you may be,don't be quick to point out the negatives in your partner. Focus instead on the good. The positive.
2. Pay attention to your partner
Listen to partner when they speak. Acknowledge them if they have a new look or went out of their way to do something different. A simple smile will go a long way.
3. Give each other some privacy
Don't interfere too much in every little thing your partner does. This could cause uncalled for arguments that will ultimately bring stress into the marriage.
4. Avoid very close relationships with the opposite sex
Behavior such as flirting can create mistrust and lead your partner to feel insecure. This could strain the marriage.
5. Be positive and focus on the future
As much as it is important to learn from past mistakes, don't dwell on the mistakes. Say kind and positive uplifting words to your partner. Constantly pointing out the weaknesses in your partner and keeping a record of all that they did wrong in days past can lead to low self esteem and cause strain in the marital relationship.
6. Distance makes the heart grow fonder
Being together at all times and knowing each other too much can create irritation and tension. Spending some time apart gives both partners a chance to miss each other's company and presence and value what they have. It is important of course to not spend too much time apart.
7. Don't be selfish
Always endeavor to do more for your partner as opposed to always expecting them to always be the more giving one. Be supportive and helpful to each other. Always putting the other person's needs and feelings into consideration.
