Valentine's Day Marriage Repair

Feb 14, 2023

On this Valentine's Day, it may be a great time to focus on repairing and improving your marriage. Remember, repairing a marriage takes time and effort from both partners. But you can use Valentine's Day as a starting point to focus on your relationship and commit to making it stronger and more fulfilling for years to come.

 

Here are some tips to get you started.


You must learn to practice forgiveness. No marriage is perfect, and it's important to be able to forgive your partner when they make mistakes. This doesn't mean that you should ignore serious issues, but it does mean that you should be willing to let go of things that are a hindrance as you focus on the bigger picture.


You must show appreciation and affection. It's easy to take your partner for granted, especially if you've been together for a long time. Make a conscious effort to show your appreciation and affection for your partner on Valentine's Day (and every day!). This could be as simple as a heartfelt compliment, a thoughtful gesture, or a loving touch.


Focus on your partner's positive qualities. It's easy to focus on your partner's flaws and shortcomings, especially if you're feeling frustrated or disappointed. Make a conscious effort to focus on their positive qualities instead. What do you love about your partner? What qualities make them unique and special to you?


Work on your intimacy. This may be difficult if there is tension, but it is doable if you take baby steps. Intimacy is an important part of a healthy marriage, but it can be difficult to maintain over time. If you and your partner are struggling with intimacy, make a plan to work on it together. This might involve scheduling regular date nights, trying new things in the bedroom, or seeing a couples therapist.


Reflect on your early relationship. Think back to the early days of your relationship, when everything was new and exciting. Remember the things you loved about your partner and the things that made you feel most connected. Write down these memories, and share them with your partner. By remembering why you fell in love and got married, you can gain a renewed appreciation for your partner and your relationship.


On this Valentine's Day, remember that coaching and counseling are still important. However these our things that you can start doing today!
