We all know how important it is to bring joy and fun and excitement into our marriage. But with all the responsibilities at hand, and the everyday stress at work, we sometimes take for granted our partners. Spending quality time together becomes rare and sometimes we fail to discuss our future plans with our husband/wife.

Communication and positive interaction is one important key to a healthy marriage. In an interview, Aga Muhlach ( a local artist ) told Magandang Buhay hosts how he and his wife kept their marriage considering their busy schedules and their careers. And I quote:
"When we wake up everyday since we got married, we need three to four hours of talking everyday. Not a single day na walang ganun talaga. That's something that works for us. I am glad that it is like that."
Three or four hours might not work for us especially if both are working. But one or two hours won't take much of our time. Talking to our partners will help strengthen the relationship even more.

I recently read an article entitled, " Kidnap the One You Love". Did the title sound controversial to you? Well, you won't be imprisoned for so doing, I assure you. The title is very engaging that I noticed myself reading the whole article. By kidnap, the writer means taking your husband/wife out for a little surprise. Kidnap him/her from work, from the dishes, from the laundry and from stress. It doesn't have to be expensive. You can just walk together or have a candle - lit dinner or anything that both of you enjoy doing.
Who wouldn't be surprised if you are surprised?

Saying "I Love You" for me is also an important factor. As a wife, I wanted to hear these words from my husband. To others, this may sound OA but who cares? I just love to hear it. Weren't you excited the first time your boyfriend turned husband said I Love You? The longer the relationship, the more you need to remind yourself that you love each other. Saying it doesn't cost a penny.
That's all for now.
Have a good read fellow Steemians!
As always,
@jonabeth

It's the little things that are most important now like talking or just spending a movie marathon at home together. Nice post! God bless your marriage! :)
Talking to your partner is really important @iammrsjackieg. And yes we both love to watch movies at home even if it's 1am.
I couldn't agree more. My partner and I, we send messages sometimes saying sorry that we have lesser time together since our new baby came, and he always come up with simple plan of a weekend bonding for a movie together at home, he'll cook something special, or show me an article that we will read together and we'll share thoughts. Since I am on a night shift, we plan the mealtime so we can eat together that I am not sleepy at all. Sometimes I bring home food for breakfast that we can share together before I go to sleep
It's a matter of doing small things for the sexy love of your life to keep the fire burning.
Small things really matter @mystiquemitch. In my case, my husband is on a night shift. When he gets home from work, he'll bring me some food in school so we could at least say hi hello. Congratulations on your new baby.
Exactly @jonabeth small things make big difference!
