KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

1. Have a plan
   Marriage is a lifetime commitment. It requires thoughtful planning. Take out time to review your plans for your family's future. Set goals.

2. Quality time
   Couples need to take time out to enjoy each other's company. Make this a regular or twice a month, fixed night every month. Make sure this date is u movable and is priority above all else.

3. Quickly forgive
   Forgiveness is one of the foundations to building successful marriage. There will be times when your mate makes mistakes, causes hurt feelings and even frustration(and you will do the same). JUST FORGIVE! Let go and let God. 1 Peter 3;7

4. Listen
   This is for men mostly. We have hard time listening to our partners sometimes. If you can listen you can communicate better. Listening to the nreds of your partner will always keep communication open and will set the stage to help you both endure difficult times.

5. Be sensitive and proactive
   One of the results that married couples achieve with greaterror intimacy is greater sensitivity to one another's needs. Being sensitive and tuned into your partner helps to make you proactive about fulfilling their needs, which then increases intimacy. It's a cyclical effect that yields tremendous results!
