The health of a marriage depends on both partners. Marriage hardly works when no coordination is pumped by the two involved. For long, we have been told that intimacy is key for success of a marriage. Yes, but there are other things that are similarly crucial for the success of a marriage.
Here are three other things that can build or strengthen a marriage.
1. Love
This does not require any deep explanation. Love is paramount for any marriage to take place. However, some couples lose the feeling of love after few years in marriage. This is an absolute reason why marriage breaks. For a strong marriage, love has to be grown and this is a responsibility of the two in the tie.
2. Respect
Respect; another paramount requirement of a relationship. Where respect does not prevail, there can be no peace. Love does not find its place in a house where there is no respect. As a man you have to respect your wife and as a woman you have to respect your husband. Respect ensures strong and healthy marriage.
3. Attention
Attention revolves around time; giving each other time and care. As a couple, you have to show care and give time to each other. Always be there for a one another so that whenever need arises you can solve it together. Failing to give your partner time and attention is a sign of negligence and poor commitment.
In summary: As a couple, do not rely on intimacy as the only way to build your marriage.
