How Do You Show Love? #BlackMarriageDay

March 25, 2014 by Future Foundation

10 Ways to “WOO” Your Spouse

  1. Physical touch (i.e. hugs, cuddle, hold hands, kiss, sexual intercourse, etc.).
  2. Say “I love you” daily.
  3. Eat at least one meal or snack a day together.
  4. Send love notes, romantic texts/email messages, telephone calls, facebook, tweet your spouse daily (note:  it should not end on the wedding night).
  5. Establish date nights regularly.
  6. Plan a getaway or vacation at least once a year.
  7. Wear your “birthday suit” on a regular basis.
  8. Compliment or give words of affirmation to your spouse.
  9. Be your spouse biggest fan/cheerleader.
  10. Give a gift…just because!

Marriage Survival Tips

  1. Practice conflict resolution (i.e. refrain from yelling, walking away when being spoken to, etc.).
  2. Never think the grass is greener on the other side (i.e. don’t assume other relationships are better than yours and/or you will be better off/happy with someone else).
  3. Don’t flirt with other people (i.e. roaming eyes, over complimenting, never give someone else what you should give your spouse).
  4. Never let your kids overshadow your marriage (i.e. spending more time with your children instead of your spouse).
  5. Go over your finances together (i.e. budgets, allocating funds, balance accounts, etc).
  6. Set short and long-term goals.
  7. Don’t let friends’ advice influence your marriage.
  8. Don’t go to bed mad and always sleep in the same bed.
  9. Communication is KEY…never stop talking.
  10. Keep others out of your household (i.e. parents, siblings, friends, coworkers and family).
  11. Always be your spouses’ #1 fan (i.e. support, affirm, encourage etc.).
  12. Learn to compromise.
  13. Be creative in the bedroom (i.e. let lovemaking be an experience to look forward to).
  14. Learn to apologize when you are wrong and accept responsibility for your actions.

Never make divorce an option.
