Most anger and meanness in a marriage stems from pain or disappointment, not ill-will. Seek to find out what's caused the hurt. #MW

When feeling unloved or disrespected, don't presume on your spouse's motives. Instead, believe the best and share how you feel. #MW

Men are born dreaming about the impact they will leave on the world. Don’t let your husband stop dreaming. Listen and encourage his dreams.

Talk openly and honestly with your spouse about family/in-law likes & dislikes. Respect your partner's viewpoint without condemnation. #MW

Develop a "marriage sentence" that defines your intentions with your spouse. E.g., Kevin's is, "I partner with Cetelia to create life." #MW
A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. - good marriage proverb! http://bible.us/Prov15.1.NLT

Provide support for your spouse during his/her stressful times -- even if it's only a hug, smile, or encouraging word. #MW #fb

"Pray for your pastors' marriage. They are better able to minister to marriages & families when they are not in threat of losing their own."

We all know how to push our spouse's buttons in a negative way. Instead, learn how to push his/her buttons in a positive way.

If you want to stay in love with your spouse, you have to continue to do loving things every day.

Your kids learn about marriage by watching you & your spouse. Are your actions teaching your kids lessons you hope they'll learn about love?

Get a 3 minute egg timer, and declare it the hug and kiss timer. When either of you turns it over, GO! #marriagetip
Treat your spouse so well that s/he doesn't even think twice about going elsewhere. #MW

Fantasizing about your spouse in a different time or place? Good! Fantasizing about someone else? BAD! #askyourself
It takes a lifetime to really, truly know someone, so always strive to be a student of your spouse. Where are you at in your education?
Golden rule of marriage # 1: relationships need attention. This means making it a priority- spending time together- talking and touching.

For a moment, stop blaming your spouse, and evaluate how your behavior is causing friction in your marriage. #MW
