Relationship Tip #2

Again, from Daniel Amen's book "Change your Brain, Change your Life", here is relationship tip #2:

"Never take the relationship for granted.  In order for relationships to be special, they need constant nurturing.  Relationships suffer when they get put low on the priority list of time and attention.  Focusing on what you want in a relationship is essential to making it happen."

My Take:  Your marriage is a very important factor in your overall happiness.  Don't put more time into watching your favorite TV show than working on your marriage, or put more effort into your work than your relationship, and then expect your marriage to be a success.  A happy marriage takes time and effort, but the rewards for your overall health and happiness are well worth it.  Married individuals live longer and are generally happier than single people.  Set aside some time each day for planning, nurturing, and improving your marriage.  You will not regret the effort!  :)
