Ten Ingredients of a Healthy Marriage

leer este blog en español

The ingredients for a healthy marriage are like those for a wonderful cake or a delicious pie. You must include the right amount added at the right time mixed together with the right blend and baked in the heat of an oven for the right amount of time. As couples work to include the best ingredients for marriage, we are aware that the benefits and ramifications are significant for our churches, communities and country.

Ten ingredients for a healthy marriage

Communication

Commitment

Compassion

Intimacy

Respect

Appreciation

Partnership

Acceptance

Hope

Love

The foundation and bedrock of a healthy marriage include Communication, Commitment and Compassion. These allow the healthy marriage to grow and flourish within a bowl of understanding, devotion and tenderness. When Intimacy, Respect and Appreciation are included in healthy marriages clear signals can be sent and received that say I want to connect with you, honor you and am grateful for who you are. Partnership, companionship and friendship add a sense of common purpose and destination to a healthy marriage. Adding Hope to this mixture is the ingredient that if included there is perseverance and if missing there is frustration. Finally, as in any recipe, there is one ingredient used in greater quantity than any other. In a healthy marriage that ingredient is Love. When the good of the other person is the goal of both husband and wife, a healthy marriage can be seen baking in the midst of the oven of life.

Why do females get more stressed?

Women have a completely different hormonal system, which as a result causes them to react more emotionally and become more exhausted on an emotional level. Furthermore, they are exposed to more stress factors as they have to assume many roles in their day to day.
