Set aside uninterrupted time with your spouse to focus on each other.

I can live for two months on a good compliment. - Mark Twain 

Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation, are powerful communicators of love. - Gary Chapman

The Euphoria of the “in love” state gives us the illusion that we have an intimate relationship. We feel that we belong to each other. We feel we can conquer all problems. We feel altruistic towards each other. We can recognize the in love experience for what it was-a temporary emotional high -and now pursue “real love”.

Fill your spouses love tank

With empty love tanks, couples tend to argue and withdraw, and some may tend to be violent verbally or physically in their arguments. But when a love tank is full, we create a climate of friendliness, a climate that seeks to understand, that is willing to allow differences and to negotiate problems.

If we date better, then we marry better. If we marry better, then we parent better. If we parent better then we family better. And a healthy family is the foundation of a healthy society. - DeVon Franklin

You can pull with each other or against each other. - Chip Gaines

Their looks don’t raise your kids, their mindset does. - Denzel Washington

We talk in words but think in pictures.

Assumptions are barriers to effective communication .

The way we communicate ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

God. How to raise children. Getting along with spouses family. Finances. Shopping ( how much and when ). Self care. Dreams. Dating after marriage

Marriage is about oneness not sex. - Mark Driscoll

We have fallen into the Hollywood trap that all we need is looks, feelings and sex.

We desire individuality over oneness

Love requires sacrifice. Loving others always costs us something. Love does not do what it feels it does what is needed.

Love is not infatuation 

Love isn’t a feeling or emotion

Love is a choice
