One of the best ways to strengthen your marriage is to show your love for your spouse. This can be done in many simple ways, but it is nice to take the time to do it in big ways occasionally as well. It is important to remember to express your love for each other on a regular basis, and to remember what you are working together on in your marriage.
One of the best things you can do to remember your vows is to attend the temple together. If you have the opportunity you may want to spend time completing sealings. The time you spend together in the temple can help you to refocus your relationship and it helps to remind you that you are working together for an eternal marriage.
You can also demonstrate your love to each other by showing affection towards each other. Greeting your loved one when he or she gets home from work with a hug and a kiss can go along way in showing that you love and appreciate them. Also saying good-bye in a similar fashion can help with this as well.
A quick email, phone call or text message is a great way to let your spouse know that you love or appreciate him. This only takes a few minutes or seconds, but it can really brighten your spouse’s day. You can try to do something like this every day, but you should vary the delivery to keep it fun and meaningful.
There are opportunities for bigger demonstrations of affection as well. Doing the dishes for your spouse one day, or taking time to give a back rub are other great ways to express affection. As you spend time together alone, you can talk to each other and communicate. Try to remember what it felt like when you were first married, and think of the things you did for each other or together. Then take some of those things and try to add them to your routine.
Just expressing your love for each other can strengthen your relationship, and demonstrating it can do a lot more. If you are feeling particularly underappreciated or unloved, then take the time to find more ways to show more love to your spouse. This will work more effectively then complaining about it. This is one of the best ways to help strengthen your marriage.
