8) Stay true.
Men, you shouldn’t be confiding in another woman if you have a girlfriend/wife.
— Haley (@haleyckurz) May 12, 2022
Women, you shouldn’t be confiding in another man if you have a boyfriend/husband.
9) Be sex positive.
Dear married sisters
— Mountain Housewife🌷 (@mtnhousewife) May 13, 2022
You simply cannot afford to be anything except over-the-top-sex-positive with your husband. 🌷
10) Connect before sex.
Sexy Time is more than a physical connection.
— Stu Gray 🙌 (@stugray) May 9, 2022
It's an emotional and spiritual connection too.
If those last 2 are lacking (before sexy time)
Then sexy time will likely feel like a chore, icky, or won't happen at all.
11) Listen to understand.
The key to resolving conflict is to listen with the goal to truly understand what your spouse is saying. Make the effort to focus & lean into trying to understand your spouse's point of view before you respond to share your heart.

12) Value your spouse.
HUSBANDS: Be the man who opens your wife's door, helps her with her seat, carries things for her, checks on her, and protects her ... not because she's helpless, but because she's valuable to you.
