Successful Remarriage: The Actions That Create a Happy Remarriage
Marriage - if only it was as easy as TV and movies make it look. In real life it takes a lot of work. The work doesn't end when you finally say "I Do" like some people think. Before the wedding, you're just practicing for the work that lies ahead AFTER you're married. Too many times couples think once they're married, they've achieved the prize and it's time to relax. WRONG!! If this is your second marriage, you may have experienced this the first time around. As a member of a step couple, it should make sense why one of my 6 ingredients to a happy and successful remarriage is: effort you put forth toward your partner. Whether your partner is currently putting forth any effort toward you or not, it is your responsibility. It's theirs as well but they may need some reminding from you. The most effective way to "remind" them is not through nagging and complaining. Modeling what you want is a much better alternative. If you're fortunate enough to have a partner who does put forth a lot of effort, you in turn, should reciprocate with actions and statements that let your spouse know you love them. Not because it's a chore, but purely motivated out of love. Yes, the laundry may need to be done or the lawn mowed, but your spouse may need you to stay in bed 15 minutes longer just to spend time with them. No, putting forth that extra effort may not be your first choice, but you choose to do these actions because they are what your partner needs. Meeting one another's needs is essential to any marriage's success. If we feel ignored or misunderstood, we usually start weighing our options. Remaining in the marriage doesn't seem to be worth all of the negative feelings being experienced. If you feel at a loss as to what your spouse needs from you, the easiest way to find out is to ask! Making sure you have an open line of communication is really important. Just a simple, "Is there anything you feel like you need from me that I'm not doing?" is a great way to open the door on this conversation. So, what are you waiting for? Have that conversation with your spouse today!
