Most of us would say our marriage is a priority, so why not try the 15 Minute Marriage Boost?
It’s true, research has shown that by spending just 15 minutes a day communicating with your spouse you can reduce your chances of divorce. Learning how to effectively communicate and love your spouse is the key to a great marriage. By investing just 1% of your day to your husband, you could transform your marriage! Now how does that sound?
In The Marriage Clinic, John Gottman, Ph.D., examines various research about why people divorce. He concludes, “ In summarizing these research projects, ‘feeling unloved’ was the most commonly cited reason for wanting a divorce (67% of women)…and sensitivity to being belittled (59% men and women)…We must conclude that most marriages end…[as] the result of people…not feeling liked, loved, and respected.”
The 15 Minute Marriage Boost
- Commit to communicating with your spouse 15 minutes a day, set aside a specific time. (Here is some help!)
- Be an active listener.
- Maintain eye contact or hold hands
- Give your spouse the freedom to be the person God created them to be.
- Laugh!
- Be compassionate and understanding just as Christ Jesus has been to you.
I’ve been married for 30 years and have six children. I believe that by making it a priority to connect with my husband every day we have been able to weather the storms of life with God’s help. It doesn’t take a lot of time but I promise you will reap rewards for years to come by applying The 15 Minute Marriage Boost to your life.
I rarely recommend products, however, this tool has been so good for my marriage that I would like to recommend these WONDERFUL Date Night Cards by Gathering Around! Sometimes it’s hard to get a conversation started with your husband, often we are exhausted by the day, that is just one of the reasons I love these Date Night Cards. I highly recommend these charming cards to you!
