Joey & I have been married for 3 years now & it's had it's ups & downs for sure. Marriage is so hard. I won't go into detail with what our problems were in our marriage, but honestly the most important thing would have to be "forgiveness." Nobody is perfect... Everyone has their faults & challenges. In a marriage it's our duty to work with another. Don't spite your husband and let him figure it out... Be there for him no matter how hard it is. I've learned it the hard way, but no matter what he has done I will always love him.
Communication: That's got to be my favorite. Talk. Talk. Talk. It helps a ton to just talk. Silent treatment does not work haha. You won't get anywhere.
Spend time together: Joey & I have some problems with that since he works so much, but we always find time to do at least something before he goes back to work.
Church: read scriptures together. Pray together. & attend church together. :)
Keep showing you love one another: You get into a "routine" each day (I know I do) but I still try to do little things for Joey to show him I love him.
*warning*
Making love: it is very important. Helps you connect with your spouse. Get rid of the kids & have fun with your husband ;)
Selflessness: Joey & I have to say this is our #1 problem. He's so busy he doesn't realize when he's being selfish. (Me on the other hand) ;) haha jk. We both are selfish sometimes & that's not okay in a marriage.
Complement: complenent each other :) I know I love it when Joey calls me beautiful & Hot :)
Say thank you: when Joey does something for me I always make sure I say thank you. May sound weird... But It helps ;)
KISS KISS KISS!! don't ever leave each other without giving a kiss. In my opinion it is super important :) even when I'm mad @ Joey & he's leaving for work.. I will still kiss him goodbye. One time I didn't & I was sad the whole day.
Every marriage is different. Very hard. But amazing. I love my husband :) I found a quote I LOVE!!
"A perfect marriage is 2 imperfect people refusing to give up on each other"
What drives me crazy is when people throw the words "divorce" "leave him" that's not okay (until something really BAD happens). I will never leave Joey. He's the love of my life & an amazing guy. He works super hard & sometimes the lack of sleep gets to him. Everybody has faults... Doesn't make them a bad person. I have my faults, but I still try my best to make my husband happy. :)
