How To Keep Falling In Love

Instagram

  • Keep having fun. Don’t let the daily/weekly grind stop you from the art of PLAY and JOY with each other. Smile more. Make eye contact and smile with your eyes too. Make great love. Laugh. Connect. Enjoy. Don’t be too serious too often. Be playful. Muck around. Set a culture of joy in your relationship. #thehappymarriage #marriage #joy #love #relationshipgoals #lovequotes #marriagegoals #fun #cheeky
  • Hard conversations are essential. Dr Adam Matthews from the amazing @foreplay_radiosextherapy podcast said this in a recent mailbag episode. How these tough conversations start and then navigate the issue generally determines the outcome. We have always found that being kind at the start and then as we talk helps us love and respect each other and enables a far more positive outcome. The @gottmaninstitute also revealed that happy marriages have 5 positive interactions to every 1 negative one during conflict! Have the chat but keep your love on! #thehappymarriage #marriage #truelove #hardconversations #husbandgoals #wifey #love #reallove
  • Asking how you can help, especially in a busy, stressful or full season can really help take the edge off for your spouse. Aside from earning a few easy points, this is a good way to start a conversation, show your support, help practically, lend a listening ear or simply let them know you’re thinking of them. #thehappymarriage #happymarriage #relationshipgoals #happywife #husbandgoals #wifey #howcanihelp
  • Marriage is a continual choice to love no matter what. Keep choosing him. Keep choosing her. Love is sometimes simply a choice to lay down your life for them despite how you feel. Despite even what they might have done! Keep reminding yourself. That you love her. That he is yours. Of how blessed you are. Of what you’re building together. Appreciate. Enjoy the small things. The little moments. All of these will help you keep choosing to love. #thehappymarriage #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes #happymarriage #lovequotes #happywifehappylife #happyhusbandhappylife #bothand #husbandgoals #wifey
  • Sometimes it’s like this! 😂 Thanks Emmett for showing us how to communicate properly... despite not being able to listen! Honesty, transparency and humour are 3 essential traits to good communication. #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes #happymarriage #lovequotes #truelove #laugh #connect #marriage #marriagegoals
  • One of the BIGGEST challenges to intimacy and closeness is drift. Drift is the slow, constant movement that separates your hearts, heads and lives and makes you feel less connected to each other. To help, make sure you connect DAILY and have a weekly checklist that helps you ask the important questions and get up to date with your upcoming schedule, etc. It’s time to stop the drift and intentionally connect. Do it! :) #happymarriage #love #truelove #happywife #wifey #husbandgoals #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes #lovequotes
  • It’s a wonderful, never ending journey of learning, discovery, conversations and growth. Tastes change and morph so stay up to date. Learn something new today by asking questions. @marriage365 have an awesome new book which can help. Enjoy! #thehappymarriage #marriage #truelove #happywife #wifey #family #love #relationshipgoals #relationshipquotes
  • Feeling really CONNECTED to your spouse doesn’t happen by accident. You both have to make time, carve out space, get the kids minded or do it with them! MAKE the time. TAKE the opportunities. Put DOWN your phone (I’m slowly getting better at this...) and look st your spouse and ask questions. Stuck for questions? @marriage365 have just released a book of 365 connecting questions to help you connect. Where can you carve out time this weekend and next week to connect?? #thehappymarriage #marriage #wifey #husbandgoals #relationshipgoals #connect #love #sex intimacy #walkthedog #together #unity #agreement #reallyconnect #feelconnected
