THINGS YOU CAN DO TO

IMPROVE YOUR MARRIAGE

3 Keys
to a Junk Free Marriage.
www.fancylittlethings.com 2. Keep talking! Dont allow junk
to infiltrate your marriage because you have let things go
unsettled. Talk to each other. Keep your walls down. The
minute you allow something to fester that silly wall begins to
build again and, left unaddressed, your new wall will likely
have some new defenses to go along with it. Some of the
best advice we ever received before we were married was,
Dont go to bed angry. Thankfully we listened and have truly
built our marriage around this principle. There have only been
a few times we did allow ourselves to go to bed angry and by
the time we got around to dealing with the issue days had
gone by and the initial hurt had only amplified. Be open minded and strive to hear, really hear what your spouse is trying to
tell you listen to their heart in the matter even if their words
arent clear to you. Remember you love this guy.
