Rescue Your Relationship

Here are 5 essential ingredients for making it works:
1. Empathy - The ability to see things through your partner's perspective.
2. Listening - Active listening is some of the glues that holds the husband and wife relationship together. Some studies on heart disease have shown that poor communication can result in rapid fluctuations in blood pressure which isn't good for your heart!
3. Putting Your Partner First - When we dated all we could think about was the things that we could do to make our partner happy. And that seeing him or her happy brought us joy.
4. Excitement - Studies show us that we bond better when we share new and exciting experiences.
5. Patience - Marriage requires a life change for newlywed couples, but that change doesn't come all at once. Even along the way, one or another partner will make a mistake. Don't expect change to come overnight.
