#1 Showing respect – Every individual deserves respect – ESPECIALLY your spouse.
#2 Be affectionate – Love makes people feel valued, so show your spouse you love them and don’t be shy. Hold hands, kiss your spouse goodbye and hold on a little longer when you hug
#3 Always communicate – Your spouse is not a mind reader! Tell your spouse what you need and clearly communicate this to them
#4 Forgive quickly – No one is perfect and a good marriage thrives on forgiving and letting go
#5 Show kindness – A happy marriage takes two people who are kind to one another – always
#6 Appreciate your spouse – There is nothing worse than being taken for granted. A simple thank you is all it takes
#7 Loyalty – You should only ever have eyes for your spouse as if they are the most important person in your whole world
#8 Balance your time – A good marriage has balance between work, friends, family and each other as well as time for yourself
#9 Be honest – The fastest way for your spouse to lose trust in you is when you hide or lie about major things in your home. It simply isn’t worth it
#10 Consult in decision-making – It is from the sunnah to consult with one another in all big decisions – and doing so increases your love and respect for one another
