Hi ,Something that can get you in real trouble is fantasizing about someone other than your
spouse.
Research shows that successful couples do less "alternative monitoring."
That means you don't think about what marriage would be like with someone else. Focus!
Do you give your spouse your undivided attention?
Do they have your full focus?
Or do you often find yourself wondering what marriage
would be like with someone else?
A great way to strengthen your marriage and stay in love is to spend quality and quantity time together just as you did in the beginning.
I wrote a post today on the myth of quality of time. You can read it here:
The Quality Time Myth
Here's my advice if you've been fantasizing what
marriage would be like with someone else lately:
Start listing what you like and appreciate about your spouse. And let them know! Shift your focus!
This is a great way to break free from the alternative monitoring trap.
Until next week, this is Mike and Gayle Tucker and we want you to be mad about marriage!
