  8. Make sex a priority. Sex in a marriage isn’t an issue, until it is.
  9. Renew your vows privately with whispers and memories. When God did a miracle in our marriage seven years ago, Terrell and I renewed our vows in a private “ceremony.” It was so moving to have our children witness our recommitment.
  10. Meet your spouse at the door. Terrell told me recently how much it meant to him for me to stop everything I’m doing when he gets home and acknowledge him. It’s a great way to respect mates who work outside the home.36 Ways to Make Your Marriage Solid part2
  11. Look your best as often as you can. It’s a big deal to your mate when you don’t care about your appearance. When you take care of yourself, your marriage benefits!
  12. Find tangible ways to serve your mate without complaining. When I go the extra mile and do something nice and thoughtful for my husband, he notices it. It doesn’t take long for him to reciprocate because of the way being served makes him feel. It’s a great cycle to create.36 Ways to Make Your Marriage Solid part2
