Practical Ways to Strengthen Your Marriage Relationship

 



What makes a marriage's foundation strong?

Marriage can be one of the most rewarding experiences two people can have this side of heaven—or one of the most difficult. Too many couples enter into marriage relying solely on the strength of their feelings rather than developing healthy relational habits. But feelings come and go, and if that's all your marriage is built on, you're doomed. "Genuine love is not primarily a feeling," writes Mark Altrogge, "but a costly decision to sacrifice yourself for the good of another person."

Similarly, too many couples let their relationship "autopilot"—that is, they are not intentional about making their marriage a priority. Instead, they let life's busyness or other demands push their relationship to the sidelines, assuming that they'll have time to work on it later. When things settle down, they may discover that they have grown apart, functioning as roommates rather than marriage partners.

We've compiled a list of 12 habits and principles that will help you strengthen your relationship with your spouse. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it is a good starting point.

Ways to Strengthen Your Marriage Relationship:

Make an effort to spend time together and do things you both enjoy.

Quickly forgive. This may appear simple, but it is one of the most difficult aspects of many marriages. On the other hand, when you make a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness.

Surround yourself with people who will help your marriage. Spend no time with people who will undermine your marriage or tempt you to compromise your character.

Prioritize your sex life. A good marriage relationship is built on more than just sex, but it is an essential component of a strong marriage.

Maintain open lines of communication. Don't presume to understand what your spouse is thinking or feeling. Inquire of them, and pay close attention when they speak.

Join a thriving faith community. A good church and consistent fellowship with other believers can make a significant difference in your life.

Choose your battles wisely. Don't waste your time nitpicking. If you truly believe the issue is important, discuss it with your spouse in a respectful manner.

PRAY as a group. It is one of the most intimate acts a couple can share and will strengthen your bond.

Make an effort to be the most obedient servant in the house. Do not keep track of how well your spouse serves you. Rather, consider how you can better serve your spouse.

Remember that your spouse will never be able to meet all of your needs because they were not designed to do so. Look to God for fulfillment, and form friendships with people who will support your marriage.

Remember that you do not always have to offer solutions to your spouse's problems. A hug and a listening ear can sometimes communicate more love than your advice.

Remember that even in a strong marriage, both spouses rarely feel strong at the same time. It's natural for a husband and wife to take turns being strong for each other when the other is feeling weak.


We hope you find this list useful, whether you've been married for 30 minutes or 30 years. Please share any additional suggestions for strengthening a marriage relationship in the comments.
