Keeping the Spark in the Marriage

These articles interest me quite a bit. I come from a family who my parents just celebrated 25 years and I have only had three boyfriend who all lasted over 18 months. I think that keeping the other partner interested is very important. We as people like to feel important, loved, attraactive etc.. People need encouragement even after they are comfortable and have been married for years that they are still madly in love.

Listening to the radio this morning driving up from Seattle, The Wolf had some marriage advice on what to promise each other and I agree with these: (www.seattlewolf.com)

Fitz's 10 Commandments of Marriage by Fitz , posted May 16 2013 11:38AM

1-Thou shall not cheat 2-Thou shall get medicine in the middle of the night 3-Thou shall forego sexual contact every once in a while 4-Thou shall fight and scream during your fight 5-Thou shall compliment your spouse 6-Thou shall date each other (date nights) 7-Thou shall flirt with thy spouse 8-Thou shall laugh together 9-Thou shall rub feet and scratch backs 10-Thou shall cuddle sometimes without having sexual contact These may seem silly but they are the basics of how a relationship starts: flirting, compliments, dates, movie nights, giggles, late night make out sessions etc... If as soon as a couple has kids, theses should not all of a sudden disappear. A couple became a couple for a reason and it will take work to keep the couple strong but I think it is possible :).
