Bring back the love with some of these
suggestions to help you recapture the
happiness and excitement in your marriage
Lost That Loving feeling?
Improve
Your Behavior
Treat your spouse like a cherished, wonderful,
sensual person. Where to begin?
Pay attention to personal hygiene –
bathe, shave, use deodorant!
Treat your spouse to “company”
manners -- no farting, nose-picking, belching.
Dress for your spouse as you would for
a special occasion.
Compliment your spouse often.

Replace
Arguments with Compromise
Stop battling about who’s right
and who’s wrong. Prove that you
understand your spouse’s position
in a disagreement. You don’t have
to comply – or agree – but
you have to understand. Keep your voice
pleasant, even if firm, and seek to resolve
rather than win a dispute.
Try: “I understand
you’re upset that I’m late.
It was unavoidable, but I understand.
If I were waiting, and waiting, and waiting
for you, and you hadn’t called to
tell me you were running late, I’d
be awfully disappointed, maybe even angry.
Is that how you feel?
Avoid: “Get off
my case! You know why I was late, so quit
bugging me about it. All you ever do is
complain!”
