Melissa Clark on the 5 Ways To Strengthen Your Marriage

Putting pressure on something exposes its weaknesses. This doesn’t just apply to physical things, it applies to relationships too. 2020 has put a lot of pressure on many of our marriages and highlighted the areas that aren’t as strong as we thought they were. Here’s a way to change that.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • How the pandemic has affected marriages 

  • 5 ways to strengthen your marriage 

  • About Date Night Success

Key Points:

  • Being side by side, holding hands, making eye contact allows our body to feel more relaxed and releases chemicals that bring connection between us and our spouse. 

  • The power of presence says I'm here, I value you, I see you, and I want to connect with you, even if I may not have a lot of energy to connect.

  • The more deposits you put in your “love bank”, the more it can withstand withdrawals. 

  • Values keep you anchored and moving forward.

  • The more you communicate clearly and kindly it will help to eliminate conflict and live with greater intentionality.

  • Very simple ways to create a culture of respect are by listening to what your partner has to say, putting your phone down, and just simply giving eye contact.
