Sometimes we need a little help in starting a conversation to improve our marriages. While we all know communication is vitally important to a healthy marriage, it is amazing how difficult it can be at times to openly discuss our challenges, needs, or desires.
Here is a very simple technique that you may find enormously helpful. It only takes a few minutes but can provide you with some valuable information to help you and your partner know how to make your marriage more fulfilling and fabulous.
Here is what you do:
1. On two pieces of paper write the two questions below. Each partner gets one sheet of paper.
2. Both you and your partner answer the questions then guess how your partner will answer them. (Four answers each).
3. Share your thoughts! Discuss your answers!
Simple enough right?
What are the two questions?
1. How can I make our marriage better?
2. What would my partner like me to do to keep our marriage alive and vibrant?
Most of us, when we stop to think about it, know there are things we can do to improve our marriage. The problem is, sometimes we are too busy, too distracted, even too tired to take the time to contemplate and bring to our mind what we know.
And, sometimes we are so into our own stuff that we don't take the time to consider what are the needs of our partner. We may be caught up in complaining, or wishing for something different that we forget to focus on our partner.
OK, one last step, (smile) act on your information!
Now that you have some great ideas and have hopefully opened up some discussion, it is time to reinvest in your marriage and do all those little things that can nourish your relationship!

Simple, sweet and insightful. Love it. Hank and I will definitely give this a go over the weekend.
You are so right...sometimes we use communication more like a "weapon" than as a way to CONNECT. It's so hard to LOVE when what you're mostly feeling is ANGER...and this is a great way to start the love flowing no matter what else you're feeling. Thank you, Sarah
I love it! Each person probably does know what would make the marriage better, and what their partner would like them to do. So, rather than telling them, you're ASKING them. And if they don't know, they can ask each other. What a perfect setup for great communication. What wonderous discoveries lie ahead.
hi
nice to be here
I like this simple and sweet tips.. and I guess very effective tips on saving a marriage.
And I agree with it.. communication is really important in a relationship, especially in marriage.
I like this idea, honestly.
Thanks.
I like this idea! I agree that with a little thought and communication, couples often find that they know what they need. The simple question format has a lot of implications, too. It can be easily modified to uncover intimacy desires and needs.
I am struggling because my husband complains about our marriage and has yet to show the actions to change. He said last night what we needed, and today, played video games for 8 hours. I am sad. Can you write about what is going on? I need some help.
please?
