Always take the time to praise your spouse when he or she puts effort into something. regardless of the situation.

Do you make eye contact with your spouse during conversations? Not doing so can make you seem distracted and disengaged with what your spouse is saying.

"When you initiate romance in your marriage relationship, you communicate to your spouse that he or she is desirable to you." -Jimmy Evans

Where did you and your spouse go for your honeymoon?

The next time you intend to say something critical to your spouse, just don't. For once, delete it and let the incident pass without comment.

Share your expectations with your spouse about things like finances, parenting, upcoming plans, household duties, etc. This prevents future arguments and protects you both from disappointment.

Do you remember when you and your spouse first met?

Look for opportunities during the day to show gratitude for your spouse.

Don't criticize your husband or wife in front of other people– including your children.

When was the last time you had your photo taken together– just the two of you? Hire a local photographer and get some updated pictures!

Set aside time at the end of every day for the two of you to just talk. When you do, be honest and open. Share information. Talk about your day, your worries, your goals for the future.

"What you are willing to give up for your spouse shows how much you think he or she is worth." -Jimmy Evans
