Three Great Marriage Tips

My husband and I have been married for twelve years. In that time, we’ve faced many hardships: deaths in the family, financial difficulties, having a child, and starting our own business. We used to just stumble through, hoping that because we loved each other, we’d be able to have a wonderful marriage.

But we found that there is a great deal to learn about having a powerful, rewarding marriage. So, we began learning from people who were masters at it.

From our studies, we’ve implemented great tools in our relationship that have helped us to easily build a great marriage.

Great Marriage Tip #1: Don’t Ever Talk Negatively About a Spouse To Anyone, Especially a Family Member – Assuming that your spouse is not abusing you, or doing anything else that is harmful, resist the temptation to speak ill of him or her. As spouses, you will forgive each other. Friends and family will not. Then, they’ll treat your spouse poorly and they’ll take sides, even when there are no sides to take.

This makes family gathering and activities with friends strained. If you need to speak with someone, talk to a therapist whom you trust.

Note: This tip includes trying to work out for a good solution with a friend. These conversations may start out innocently enough, but they slip into complaining very easily. If you talk to anyone, talk to your spouse. It may be rough going at first, but eventually, you’ll start to communicate.

Great Marriage Tip #2: Treat One Another With Respect – This seems obvious, but most of us don’t do it. We complain to our spouse and we feel entitled to take out our frustration on him or her. This compounds any problems that we had before, by creating more animosity between spouses instead of building a powerful team. When we treat each other poorly, we not only act in a way that is beneath us, but we also bring out the worst in our spouse.

A good rule is to act dignified, no matter the situation. This is an incredible thing to practice, taking presence of mind and discipline. But it can elevate our lives in unforeseen ways. The most important person with which to practice this is our spouse. When we do that, we build an invincible team, able to handle difficult situations with grace and ease.

Great Marriage Tip #3: Take On Your Own Life – This seems more about an individual than a marriage, but it helps marriages out a great deal. When we are committed and in action on those things that are important to us, a job, managing the house, being a great parent, etc., trivial things lose their significance. We get in fewer arguments. We just don’t have the time to argue or nitpick. Also, a huge reason for having arguments is to distract ourselves from our other troubles. When we have fewer troubles, we start fewer arguments.

The Three Emotional Blocks That Arise When One is Finding One’s Inner Genius

By: Dr. Isabella Santorini | 08/06/2008 | Advice
The important thing to remember when we’re stretching our ability to live a joyful life is that emotional upheaval will happen at some time or another. This is a given. Being caught between creating the life of our dreams and the limits of our emotional safety mechanism, doesn’t feel good. This can come in many forms. In my experience, however, the usual blocks to expressing our inner genius are as follows:

How I Deal With Blocks to Living My Life’s Purpose

By: Dr. Isabella Santorini | 08/06/2008 | Advice
One of the things that I have found so incomplete in my studies about personal transformation is the lack of addressing obstacles that get in our way as we learn to express our true nature, the genius within. The problem is that when we’re acquiring a new skill, such as using our unique talents and living our life’s purpose, we’re vulnerable, moving in uncharted territory. Having emotional upheaval just makes things worse. Here is what I've found that helps.

By: Dr. Isabella Santorini | 06/06/2008 | Home Improvement

Whether your storage room is at home or at work, the following advice applies. The key is always keeping the appropriate things in the storage room instead of allowing this room to be a place where things get put because there’s no other place to put them.

Thoughts can be incredibly positive, like thoughts of love and appreciation. But thoughts run amok can be destructive. Can they be changed? Indeed they can. But the funny thing about reprogramming our beliefs is that they’re hidden. We really don’t know what we’re going to be working on when we start on this journey. For this reason, I’m an advocate of having help from an expert. When I found my expert, I reprogrammed my thoughts and the benefits have flowed toward me ever since.
