Effort.

What does that word mean to you? Do you put effort into your marriage? Maybe you used to, but you've run out of ideas. Maybe you put your effort into your kids and have run out of steam. Maybe you're so focused on your spouse's lack of effort that you've given up. You've come to this blog, so that in itself shows that you're ready to put some more effort back into the marriage! Let's do this!

THIS STUDY surveyed over 8,000 respondents and found that no matter the marital status (cohabiting, first marriage, or second marriage) effort was strongly and positively associated with  satisfaction and stability.  A first marriage had the strongest correlation, but it affects all relationships.

So, don't ever stop giving it your all! Your marriage is the most important thing you have. 

On this date, pay attention to every little effort your spouse makes, no matter how small. Share your list to him/her. Reaffirm to your spouse that you appreciate their efforts for you.
