But how can you keep a marriage healthy <em>for life<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, researchers interviewed 700 people married for 40,000 years collectively. Some divorced couples were interviewed also.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the five keys to a successful marriage learned from this study.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Good communication<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good communication is critical to a healthy marriage. It\u00a0builds a stronger relationship.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Know each other well before you marry<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not say \u201cI do\u201d just because you are involved in a passionate romance. \u00a0Get to know the person.\u00a0 Learn about what they like and dislike. What their quirks are. \u00a0N<em>ever marry someone you want to change!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marrying someone you do not know well is a recipe for an unhappy, failed relationship. So is marrying someone you want to change.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Marry someone you connect with<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To cultivate a successful happy marriage, spouses need to connect.<\/p>\n<p>This means sharing basic values and agreeing on important issues such as finance and how to raise children.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Work together<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you marry, you both become one of two people in a partnership. \u00a0True partners consider each other\u2019s problems as problems for the partnership. Your spouse&#8217;s problems are your responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Working together to solve problems\u00a0strengthens a marriage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Marriage as commitment<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marriage is not a partnership for only as long as the initial passion lasts. It is a lifelong commitment\u00a0 <em>for better or worse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marriages in which one or both partners consider the relationship a contract easily broken end in divorce court. Solve issues and work towards a happy relationship when you hit a rough patch.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I each have one failed marriage.\u00a0\u00a0 From those relationships we learned what we want in a partner.\u00a0 Now we each have the partner of our dreams.<\/p>\n<h4>Soar like an eagle together with your spouse over life&#8217;s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Our crazy world needs this for sure&#8230;<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/cant-never-could-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words-eagle\/\">Can\u2019t never could succeed, can always does!<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Yes, you can make impossible possible in your life.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/game-of-life-encouragement-words-near-river-bj-rae-eagle\/\">Play the game of life\u00a0as though you are on the bench!<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s <u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five keys to a healthy marriage.
