I came across this post titled The Best Marriage Advice today.

A few that stood out to me:

  1. Choose to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.

My husband and I have had downs, but we have worked through them and it has always and will always be worth it.

  1. Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.

This is something I struggle with. There are some days when I feel pulled in every which way that I have taken my frustration out on my husband. Since January I have worked to flip this around, and I have been seeing drastic improvements in our relationship.

  1. Never lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.

This was the foundation of our relationship. We both agreed to 100% honesty from the get go. Sometimes it is hard to share those deep thoughts or feelings, but it has brought us close together.
