By Lucy Morgan-Rowe




Do you need help with your marriage? Do you want to have a more loving and affectionate relationship? Do you want to feel less stress? Do you want to worry less and laugh more? Do you wish you could go back to acting like newlyweds?

Of course you do. Who doesn't? You wouldn't be reading this article if you didn't want help with your marriage. And that's great. It's easier to try to save your marriage and make your relationship work now, even if some cracks are showing, than it would be to pick up the shattered pieces and try to glue it back together.

To begin, think back to when you were newlyweds. With the possible exception of children, what's really changed between then and now?

When you first got married, you likely had money troubles, demanding jobs, chores, and other forms of stress and time-eaters. And yet, back then, you made time for each other and acted like lovers and friends and not like the battling Bickersons or worse. It's possible that now you may be so indifferent that you don't even care enough to fight with each other. Instead, you're just two people that share responsibilities and share a house and maybe, just maybe, share a bed. Other than that, it would be hard to see any resemblance between the couple you are now and who you were as newlyweds.

Again the question is...what's changed?

What's changed is you. Somewhere you've allowed your love affair to slip away.

Of course the newness of your relationship may have faded over time, but why did everything else have to fade? The answer, of course, is that it didn't. But here's the bright light at the end of the tunnel. You can turn the clock back and act like newlyweds again. Seriously! Here's all you have to do to help your marriage.

1) Review your priorities and move each other to the top of the list. You'll still do your jobs, you'll still take care of your children, and you'll handle all of your obligations. But if you share those duties and make each other a priority, then everything won't seem so overwhelming and it all will be less stressful because you're sharing it together.

2) Schedule time together - alone time. If money's tight, make arrangements with another couple in a similar situation to watch each other's kids every week or so. Go out. Stay home. It doesn't matter what you do, just spend some alone time. However, when you're together you must forget about the bills, the family, your jobs and anything else that would take you out of the mindset of newlyweds.

3) Say "I love you" at least once a day and mean it. Say it out loud. Say it at unexpected times. Say it often and sincerely.

4) Kiss and repeat. Not that perfunctory kiss you may give each other as you head out the door, but a real, sweet, tender kiss.

5) Touch more often. Purposely brush up against each other as you pass in the hall. Stroke a face. Caress a back. Hold hands. It's amazing what a simple touch can do to renew the fire in your relationship.

6) Do chores together. There's no reason that the wife has to do the housework while the husband does the yard work. Do it together. It will all get done but you'll be doing it together instead of in separate parts of your home.

7) Laugh more, fight less. Find the humor in situations. There is something funny in almost every situation. You just have to look for it.

8) Be kind to each other and practice the Golden Rule.

9) Respect each other.

10) Surprise each other.

11) Return to the person you were when you first got married.

If you really want help for your marriage, you'll do what's necessary to start acting like newlyweds again. It may feel strange at first, but before you know it, couples will be looking at you and wondering, "Why can't we act like that?" Start today. You may start a trend. And wouldn't that be a much nicer way to live.
