Happy marriages just don’t happen; you make them happen. If you care so much about your marriage and don’t wish for it to end in a divorce, you have to work on protecting your marriage.
Below are 7 ways to protect your marriage from divorce
1. LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER
If you can’t control your anger, your marriage might be in trouble sooner rather than later. Avoid making statements when angry because you might say hurtful things that could damage your marriage.
2. BE YOUR PARTNER’S CHEERLEADER
You can’t protect your marriage from divorce if you are not willing to encourage and support your partner. You don’t have to agree with everything your partner does but try to be supportive.
3. ALWAYS SEND LOVELY MESSAGES TO YOUR PARTNER
Send your partner special messages every day. Your partner needs to know you think about him or her while they are away. Your partner also needs to know you miss and love them too.
4. SHOW AFFECTION
When was the last time you said good morning to your partner with a kiss? Be affectionate. Kiss and hug your partner when you say good morning, when you leave for work, when you get back home and before you go to bed.
5. APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS
Never get tired of saying “thank you”. One mistake most couples make is taking their partner for granted. Don’t just assume it’s your partner’s responsibility to make you dinner or do the dishes; show appreciation for the little things they do.
6. INTIMACY
Your partner needs to feel desired every day. I don’t mean you should have sex every day but show your partner you desire them by cuddling, hugging , and kissing.
7. EXPRESS YOURSELF
Don’t keep things inside and expect your partner to read your mind. This attitude is a huge relationship killer. Don’t assume your partner should know. Learn to express yourself to your partner. If you are sad about something, talk about it with your partner instead of assuming your partner should know about it.
