On Marriage: Twelve Secrets to Having a Successful Marriage

We do grocery store date nights too. It's actually kind of fun to go to costco together.
I totally get not being able to sleep--and what works for me won't work for everyone. I try not to get into a fight before bed--just put the reason I'm upset on hold until tomorrow.
But honestly, we usually don't fight much. I think a lot of that is not letting resentment build up.

Great advice. The love language tip has worked wonders in me getting a better understanding of what my children need from me.
And yes, men need and appreciate a direct clear need statement. I would deny my wife and children nothing that they need and I feel the worst when I fail them out of ignorance.
I agree that forgiveness is key. Life only gets bad when we let disagreement build and fester.
If I were to add something I'd say a couple needs a unity project. Like working together to get out of debt, remodel a home, or run a business. Something where you sink or swim together that isn't your marriage. It will teach you life lessons where the consequence of life growing failures do not have to impact your most precious asset. Your family.

I definitely use the love languages with my kids too. And the unity project certainly brings us closer together. Thanks, Luke!

Those are good notes to keep, Amber! Sometimes, it isn’t all about love, but on how to keep it sustained through all the odds the couple might face along the way. The married life is more like being in a basketball game. The couple have to work as a team to keep on earning points, and win every game they have to go through. Thanks for sharing!

Most women don’t know this... but even if a man is attracted to you or even says he loves you...
...chances are he still feels something is missing.
Because there is a secret, emotional need hidden within his heart that he craves more than anything.
And in most cases, is not being met.
The problem is, if it’s not being met, his attention will inevitably wander until he finds a woman who can give it to him.
Maybe one in a thousand women knows how to do this instinctively, and they usually rise to unbelievable levels of influence and fame.
But most women, or men for that matter, don’t even know it exists.
On the other hand, when you have this 1 simple secret...
You won’t believe the shocking effect you have on the men in your life.
Here’s a video I discovered that shows you exactly what I’m talking about:
Here’s how: ==> He’ll give his heart to the first woman who does THIS... ]
Best,

Amber, thanks for being so candid and real sounding. One thing that has really helped us is making a real effort to have date night once a week. It may be completely lame, like going out for fast food or quick groceries, then going home to watch a movie at home without kids because we are exhausted, but calling it date night and reserving time to be together has made such a difference. (I can NOT go to bed after a disagreement without some sort of resolution because I can't sleep, but that is just me. For all those who can, kudos!) Thanks for your blog!
