10 Tips for a Successful Marriage

10 Tips for a Successful Marriage script: At the Event Consultants, we want to make sure that you are blessed with a happy Marriage for many years to come.   My name is Karen Tambellini.   As an owner, and Consultant of The Event Consultants, I would like to share some ideas to make your marriage more successful.   I have been married for 30 years, and I would like to share my ideas with you.  We not only want to make your wedding more fun and memorable, but we want your marriage to last a lifetime!  Below are some tips that I hope will help:

1.  Start every day in prayer as a couple!  Bring your praise reports and requests to God and put Him  first in your marriage.  A family that prays together, stays together! Remedy for a Happy life:  God first, others second, self last!  

2. Do not expect your partner to fulfill all of your needs.  Marriage is a compromise (give & take) and it is not like a  “Day at the Beach” every day!  Take the good times with the bad!   Remember, no one is perfect!

3. Do not compare your partner with anyone else.   Everyone is different, with various upbringings, and do not expect your partner to be like someone else that may seem better on the outside, but not always what you see on the inside.  Be content with the person you married!

4.  Divorce is not an option!  Go into the marriage with the idea that divorce is not an option, and that you will do everything in your power to make your marriage work.  It may be hard at times, but have perseverance , believe, and do your best.  It will be worth it in the long run!  Only the Strong survive!

5.  Find the good in each other, and do not dwell on the negative faults.  There is always something good to find in your partner.  Write those qualities down and dwell on them.  Remember the Bible  verse that says  “ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things” .  Dwell on the positive!  

6.  Every couple has disagreements.  You cannot always agree on every subject, so accept that your partner has different opinions and ideas than yours.  Try to  come to a compromise that will work for you both, and try not to condemn each other.

7.  Start every day and evening telling your partner that you love them.  Those are words that re-confirm your feelings and give comfort to your partner!

8.  Write notes to each other during the day and “thank you” notes letting them know how you appreciate the little things they do.  Do not take each other for granted.  You can always find “something” special in your partner.

9.  Never speak in a negative manner about your partner to your parents and friends.  This will only cause resentment and hurt feelings later when you make up.  If you need to speak with someone regarding a serious problem, get professional “unbiased help” or go to a pastor or someone that you can trust for help.  You may forget the problem, but families and friends will not!

10.  Do and say positive things that will make your partner happy, even if you do not feel like it.  Make sure your partner feels special.  Sometimes it is hard to do with pressures and stress, but try to go beyond that, and let them know that they are special and that you are happy that you married them! If you ever get into an argument, take out your Photos and Video,  and “Re-live” the moment.  Memories of your special day will remind you of why you got married in the first place and will “rekindle those old flames” years later.

We wish you many years of happiness, and we pray that God will bless your Marriage!!!!
