If you do not have a hobby to do together, then find one! Many couples choose to go fishing together, while others choose to travel together. I not only love fishing with my husband, but I also play video games with him. Those are two hobbies that we do together. In my opinion, sitting there watching movies isn’t a great way to connect, so it shouldn’t be considered a hobby.

I always told my husband that we would not fight over money. Sure, money is needed to survive, but fighting over it is not going to get you anywhere. Instead of fighting, sit down and come up with a solution to get through the situation. It always worked for me!

Sure, some couples leave their children with a babysitter, but I can never do this when I’m going out to dinner. Take your children along with you and have fun. This is a good way to connect with each other, all together as a family!

The minute you got married is the moment you devoted your life to your partner. Make sure you stay faithful. There should be no other guy or girl in your marriage. A big part of divorces are caused by people who could not stay faithful. If you are looking at other people, then maybe it’s not meant to be.

See, there are 8 ways to go about having a great marriage. In the end, I would also like to add that no one is perfect, so you should not expect your spouse to be perfect. What about you? Do you have any tips?
