Your financial future
To keep your marriage alive and growing,
it requires that you invest time, energy and money
in your relationship. Too often, couples invest time in their work and in themselves but do not
invest time to help their relationship grow.
While a plant needs nutrients, water and sun to continure to blossom and
grow, marriage also neesds attention and support. Growing together as a couple means sharing
feelings, ideas and goals, and to
continually work to achieve them as as couple.
Most couples spend a great deal of time, energy and money on their wedding ceremony, which only lats
a few hours. However, they oftern invest little time building
relationsip skills that will help them have a more satisfying marriage.
It is much easier to prepare for a successful wedding than for a successful marriage. While a wedding involves concrete tasks that need to be completed, a successful marriage requires that
you also take time to share feelings, both positive and negative.
Growing closer to each other requires sharing feelings, ideas
and goals. Too often couples simply spend time and take each
other for granted and wonder why their relationship is less satisfying.
To help prevent problems and keep your relationship growing, we recommend daily compliments and dialouge.
Giving each other compliments is easy to do and it even encourages
your partner to compliment you. This helps you both keep focused on your
strengths and the positive things that brought you together. Italso prevents your
relationship from becoming routine and from taking each other for granted.
For most couples, the first year of marriage is sometimes difficult
and frustrating. To help you deal with these issues and continue
to strengthen your marriage, we encourage you to participate in various types of
marriage enrichment programs.
