3 Tips To Cheat-Proof Your Marriage


  1. Be an active listener: Stop what you're doing. Really hear your partner and when they feel understood that will go a long way in helping the two of you feel validated as individuals and as a couple. 
  2. Have a couples play date: With our kids, we see the importance in creating and keeping fun in a relationship. Invest the same fun factor into your marriage: Dance around the kitchen, or if you can't go on a date, create space where you can re-energize your relationship and just have fun together. 
  3. Stay curious about your spouse: Remember in the beginning when you asked so many questions about one another? Of course as a relationship/marriage progresses we get lazy -- and we assume we know what partner is feeling and thinking. But like any relationship or friendship, if you stop engaging in conversation, asking questions and really connecting with that other person, the relationship will simply cease to be vital. Our marriages are subject to the same issues, they are not made of reinforced steel. They too will crumble if we are not constantly nourishing them... so STAY curious about your spouse!
