6 Scientifically Proven Ways To Strengthen Your Marriage

4. Make quality time for your marriage

Michelle Weiner Davis, a marriage counselor and author of Divorce Busting, states, “I’m convinced that the single biggest contributor to the breakdown in relationships today is the fact that couples aren’t spending enough time together.”

She states that couples make other things priorities like work, kids, career, etc., but they dont’ make each other a priority. If you want to make your marriage work, make sure to take time to work on your marriage.

5. Wait to get married

Research shows couples who marry later (age 25+) are less likely to get divorced. So, if you’re in love, take your time. Don’t rush it. The rest of your marriage will benefit if you do.

6. Show your spouse he/she matters

Whenever you’re having a bad day, there’s a piece inside everyone that tries to tell you you’re unimportant and you don’t really matter. But in good relationships, the opposite happens.

Relationship researcher and founder of emotionally focused therapy, Sue Johnson, shows how strong relationships happen when both spouses are trying to show each other they are important and they matter. This creates a strong attachment and deepens intimacy. So, go ahead, let your partner know how important they are to you. Your relationship will flourish if you do.
