Being married is one of the greatest things that we can be a part of on this earth. The bond that a husband and a wife share is something that can't be replicated. Part of marriage is learning how to rely and lean on your spouse. As a husband or a wife. we should be our partners best friend, advocate, comforter, etc. We are their person. When interviewing my cousin about her marriage, she says that one thing her and her husband do to say close is to intentionally tell each other things first. Important things. They go to each other first, and that in turn builds trust in their relationship. They also make it a point to have very open and honest communication with one another. They always want to make sure that the other knows they are safe to come to the other with anything that is on their mind. I really like these two things.
Some other things that a couple can do to stay connected are doing menial tasks together, such as housework, errands, etc. Even though these things are boring and not special, I think it helps to strengthen that bond. It's important that you can enjoy being with your spouse even if you aren't doing something "fun."
Keeping Christ at the center of a marriage can make a huge difference. When you remember Christ in all things when it pertains to your spouse I think you will be able to make better decisions, have better feelings towards them, and love them better. Christ is the ultimate example of selfless love. Marriage isn't always easy, in fact, it is something that is always going to be hard in some way! Learning how to communicate, compromise, make decisions, endure trials and much more are all things that come with a marriage. The more we allow the trials of marriage to refine us the better person we are going to become for our spouse. The key is allowing it in.
