25 Pieces Of Spot-On Marriage Advice From People Who’ve Been There

When Ashley and I got married thirteen years ago, we were young and in love, but we were also pretty clueless (me especially)! Along the way, we’ve had so many people share wise advice and life experiences with us, which has helped guide our family through good times and hard times.
Through the years, I’ve been collecting some of the best marriage advice others have shared with us (and some I had to learn through my own mistakes). If you apply these 25 principles below to your relationship, it could make a life-changing difference in your marriage.
1. Choose to love each other, even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.

2. Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling. When possible, try to keep your phone off when you’re together with your spouse.
3. Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the “currency of relationships,” so consistently invest time into your marriage.
4. Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage. Remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.

5. Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage.
Share moments of joy. And even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.
