服务对方。刻意用心。我们都对我们做的小事情非常周到的服务。这是关于把别人的需要放在自己的前面。越多你的服务和满足你的伴侣的需求,你的配偶会服务来满足您的需求。
8. Communicate. Effective communication is critical for any marriage to last. This is especially important during difficult periods. Learn your spouse’s communication style and the way he or she needs to hear what you have to say.Then communicate with them in a way that is consistant with how you've learned they best received your message.
沟通。有效的沟通是至关重要的任何婚姻持久。在困难时期尤为重要。学习你的配偶的沟通风格和他或她需要听到你说什么。然后以你了解到的他们最容易接受的方式和他们沟通。
9. Freedom in intimacy. You know what we mean. Make it a priority.
亲密的时候给对方空间。你知道我们的意思。使它优先考虑。
10. Take care of yourself. This includes everything from your physical appearance to the clothes you wear. Do your part to be an attractive mate.
照顾好自己。这包括一切从你穿的衣服你的外表,做好吸引你伴侣的部分。
11. Don’t use absolutes. This means not saying things like, “You always…” and “You Never…”.
不要使用绝对。这意味着不要说这些之类的东西,“你总是…”,“你从不…”
Earlier in our marriage,I mean this is something we did talk about. I mean there were times that I would say to her and she would say to me."You always…" or "You Never…", and it immediately put the other person in a defensive positon. So we've made a commitment to not use those words again.
我们刚结婚的时候,我们的确讨论过这件事。我们有时候就是会指责彼此“你总是……”或“你从来不……”,这立马让对方产生了抵触心理。所以我们都承诺以后不再用这些词。
