Don't BLOW Your Marriage

Posted by Ronda Conger on
Don’t become another statistic… Each year the divorce rate increases, if you want to keep your marriage or relationship alive you must always continue to learn, grow, and not let yourself get lazy. In short, take a look at a few of the 16 Ways I Blew My Marriage by Dan Pearce. Or the ways to NOT blow your marriage. Yes, it’s from a guy’s perspective but women need this too! Soak it up, share with your husband, wife, spouse and please share with others!  
 
1. Don't stop holding her hand.
When I first dated the woman I ended up marrying, I always held her hand. In the car. While walking. At meals. At movies. It didn’t matter where. Over time, I stopped. I made up excuses like my hand was too hot or it made me sweat or I wasn’t comfortable with it in public. Truth was, I stopped holding hands because I stopped wanting to put in the effort to be close to my wife. No other reason.
 
IF I COULD HAVE A DO-OVER: I’d hold her hand in the car. I’d hold her hand on a star. I’d hold her hand in a box. I’d hold her hand with a fox. And I’d hold her hand everywhere else, too, even when we didn’t particularly like each other for the moment.
 
2. Don’t stop trying to be attractive.
Obviously when I was working to woo her, I would do myself up as attractively as I possibly could every time I saw her. I kept perfectly groomed. I always smelled good. I held in my farts until she wasn’t around. For some reason, marriage made me feel like I could stop doing all that. I would get all properly groomed, smelling good, and dressed up any time we went out somewhere or I went out by myself, but I rarely, if ever, cared about making myself attractive just for her.
 
IF I COULD HAVE A DO-OVER: I’d try and put my best foot forward throughout our entire marriage. I’d wait to fart until I was in the bathroom whenever possible. I’d make myself desirable so that she would desire me.
 
BONUS! when you trim your man hair, guess what. She returns the favor.
 
3. Don’t poop with the bathroom door open.
I don’t know why, but at some point I started thinking it was okay to poop with the bathroom door open, and so did she. First of all, it’s gross. Second of all, it stinks everything up. Third of all, there is literally no way to make pooping attractive, which means that every time she saw me do it, she, at least in some little way, would have thought I was less attractive.
 
IF I COULD HAVE A DO-OVER: I’d shut the damn door and poop in private.
 
BONUS! When she does think of your naked body, she’s not going to be thinking about it in a grunting/squatting position.
 
4. Don’t stop kissing her.
It always got to a point when I’d more or less stop kissing her. Usually it was because things were stressful and there was tension in our relationship, and so I’d make it worse by refusing to kiss her. This of course would lead to her feeling rejected. Which would of course lead to arguments about it. Other times I had my own issues with germs and whatnot.
 
IF I COULD HAVE A DO-OVER: I’d kiss her in the morning when she looked like people do in the morning. I’d kiss her at night when she’s had a long day. I’d kiss her any time I felt like she secretly wanted a kiss. And, I’d kiss her even when my germ issues kicked in.
 
BONUS! She feels loved when you kiss her. That’s bonus enough.
 
5. Don’t stop having fun together.
Age shouldn’t matter. Physical ability shouldn’t matter. Couples should never stop having fun with each other, and I really wish I wouldn’t have gotten into so many ruts in which we didn’t really go out and do anything. And, I’ve been around the block enough times to know that when the fun is missing, and the social part of life is missing, so also goes missing the ability to be fully content with each other.
 
IF I COULD HAVE A DO-OVER: I’d make a rule with her that we’d never stay home two weekends in a row.
 
BONUS! Awesome stories and awesome memories come from doing awesome things. And so do cherished embarrassing moments.
Seems simple enough right? Don't stop there though... finish the article here. There are many more important things that you should never forget or never stop doing to your spouse. It's hard work and takes effort. But we're all a work in progress here, so keep truckin' along.
