One of the tips that I would give to married couples is to be intentional about the time that you spend together, especially if you are in your 20s or 30s or honestly just in any phase of life, whether you're working or you have kids, if you're in school, it can be really hard to be together and to spend time together. But with the small amount of time that you do have together, make sure that you're present with one another, put your phone away, and also be intentional about the plans that you make. If you only have an hour, then plan something to do together in that hour. It doesn't need to be anything crazy like going on a walk together. So just make sure that you're intentional with the time that you spend together.

Remember these words. Happy wife, happy life. Happy spouse, happy house. Pretty simple. And remember, what's yours is hers, and what's hers is hers. That's it!

Don't be scared, be invested. It's a really stressful thing. There's a lot of anxiety involved because it's a scary thing that we've never done before. Or maybe we've done it before, but it requires everything of us. It requires the best of us. Don't be scared of it. The best thing you can do to your marriage is be committed fully and not back out, right? Be committed to push through and overcome challenges when you hit it. Be committed to every second. Love every moment that's amazing and mourn at every moment that's sad, but mourn with your spouse. Do it together. If the two of you enjoy your marriage together and make it your marriage, your family, and that's yours and the two of you rather than you individually, it'll be awesome.

Something that my husband and I started doing early on in our marriage is on Sundays after church and after we do Sunday chores and whatever we want to get done, we sit down and we look at the calendar and we tell each other like, hey I have a hard test this week, it'd be nice if you like showed up for me or hey like I have a project coming up that I could use your help with and just share important and exciting things with each other so that we can write them down in our own calendars and that way we can be more part of their everyday life. This is super important because my husband and I are still in school and working so we don't get too much time together and it is so easy to forget things when you're not the center of it so if you just share with each other what will be going on that week, you can better show up for your partner and just be excited with them and encourage them.

I would say be absolutely open about everything and anything. Sometimes I think it's natural for people to want to hide things or feel embarrassed about something, but your marriage will only get stronger if you're open and honest about things. Obviously, you know, there might be things if somebody has post-traumatic stress or there's other situations that may not be appropriate to bring up all the time. And I'm not a therapist, so I'm not going to say what to and what not, but in general, just be open, be honest.

Be grateful. Always show gratitude to your spouse. Show gratitude for the little things they do and for the fun adventures you have, the fun times. Just show appreciation to your spouse. Even if you feel like there's not much, which there often is a lot more than you see, but even if you feel that way, just show gratitude for the little things because it really helps you to feel happier. It helps you feel an increase in joy and unity in your marriage.
