More Daily Marriage Boost Tips


“Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things and I’ll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things.” ~ Lawrence D. Bell.

This insightful thought applies to everything in life, including marriage.

Big problems break up marriages, sure, but little problems can whittle away, silently and slowly, otherwise “good” marriages, too. Neglecting those small everyday issues leads to building resentment or, worse, apathy. How do you avoid growing apart? By staying connected through the small but mighty things you can do for each other on a daily basis.

My Twitter feed provide a Daily Marriage Boost that will challenge you to do one simple thing to strengthen your marital relationship. There’s no catch and no obligation. If you aren’t familiar with Twitter, it is a free social networking site. Sign up for your personal account (Don’t worry. No spam or identity theft issues here.) Then, sign up for my Twitter feed. My Twitter name is @BellaMarriage.

You’ll receive one Tweet from me per day that will begin with a “Daily Marriage Boost.” I considered calling it a “Challenge” or “Task of the day” but honestly, who wants more tasks on their to-do list? I thought about calling it the “Daily Honey Do List” but again, who wants to be told what to do?

A Daily Marriage Boost is just that: a boost for your marriage. Something that will bring a smile to your mate’s face. A little joy or laughter. A little love expressed. It can make a bad marriage better and a good one great. You’d be surprised at the power of a small but sincere act of love. One more tip: Don’t demand or expect your mate to reciprocate. It’s a gift from you, not a trade of goods and services!


TIPS 1-39 ARE IN THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE, "MARITAL HELP WITH DAILY MARRIAGE BOOST" OR ON TWITTER @BellaMarriage.

Daily Marriage Boost #40: Explore and expand your minds together. Discover something new via your cable television programming. Watch something informative and awe-inspiring.

Daily Marriage Boost #41: Afternoon delight? How 'bout a snuggly nap together on this lazy Sunday? Or whatever.

Daily Marriage Boost #42: Don't give up on each other. Believe in the best of both of you.

Daily Marriage Boost #43: List all the things you love about your mate. Add to it every day. Watch your appreciation grow and your resentments fade!

Daily Marriage Boost #44 :Forgive his imperfections as you would want him to forgive yours. He isn't supposed to be perfect. Just loved.

Daily Marriage Boost #45: Brew him/her a cup of tea. Any type. Soothing, healing. Marriage should be like this.

Daily Marriage Boost #46: Treat him like the king of his castle. Take turns being royalty. Unless you've bred some surfs to serve you both. ;)

Daily Marriage Boost #47: Take a hot shower when you come home to wash away the day. Feel fresh, clean and ready for a relaxing evening with your honey.

We all need transitions from work to home. Wash off any of the day's hassles and prepare to cocoon in your own refuge. It's so nice to be home together.

Daily Marriage Boost #48: Crank up some oldies from any decade you like. Fun memories. Dare you two not to bop to the beat.

My husband and I laugh to hear some of our favorites being played on a "oldie" station now. Sting, Michal Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan? We thought oldies were Glenn Miller and 50's music.

Daily Marriage Boost #49: Teach him some stretches or a few easy yoga poses. He'll be surprised how good it feels and may get hooked!

Daily Marriage Boost #50: Everyone likes to be admired for something. Go ahead. Admire him/her and say why.

Daily Marriage Boost #51:We crave approval from those we love the most.Stop the critical statements you make towards him/her or anyone else!

Daily Marriage Boost #52: If you love him/her, feel good about yourself. Self-care, self-esteem improves your marriage.

Self-care is a way to show that you love him. He wants you around. He wants you to feel good about yourself. A vibrant, happy YOU is a gift to him.

Daily Marriage Boost #53: Focus on his satisfaction and fulfillment, and he'll do anything to keep you happy, too.
