Husbands and wives, do not make your children the center of your life to the detriment of your marriage.
One day, your children will be grown and gone, and it will again be just the two of you. Don't lose who you are together in the process.
Be quick to say sorry when you mess up.
Be quick to forgive when you've been wronged.
Fight with respect.
Make sex a priority.
Spend intentional time together after the kids are in bed.
Put the phones away.
Look at each other when you speak.
Make out just because.
Don't nag.
Resist the temptation to focus on the negative.
Never wave dirty laundry in public.
Say "I love you", and say it often.
Drifting apart during child rearing years until you feel like roommates rather than soul mates and lovers is easy.
Being intentional with your relationship in today's world of distraction is hard, but produces so much good.
Love is not simply a feeling - feelings are conditional.
Love is a promise.
