I think it’s possible to be married and still feel like we’re living with our boyfriend of years gone by.

Here are five ways that have helped me do just that, and I’m confident they’ll help you as well!

1. Remember the beginning:

Anticipation, butterflies, dreams of the future, how you felt, a dream come true… a dream come true, right?

2. Give up trying to change him:

Try changing yourself and see how hard that is… If you could change your bad habits, you’d most likely not care about his.

We only focus on others’ “faults” when WE are not busy enough improving ourselves.

How organized is your closet, your underwear drawer, do you need a pedicure, a haircut, to exercise, to enrich your mind, further your skills, strengthen relationships with family…

3. Focus on his virtues and remember his trials:

Too often we unfortunately forget that we’ve been through difficult times in life, the hurts that have shaped who we are now to a great extent.

When I remember my husband’s trials I love him so much more and have so much more compassion for him.

4. Appreciate him and his efforts:

What does your husband do, as a man, as a husband, as a provider, as a protector, that show you how much he loves you?

Too often after a while we neglect to notice and appreciate our husband’s efforts

Their contribution to our lives together

Their hard work and sacrifices

5. Allow him to be your hero, your protector:

Men want to be our heroes, our protectors, and to PROVIDE for us

When we allow them to be our protectors they thrive!

When we allow our husbands to just be men, we stress less!

When we become graceful receivers and allow them to give to us, we synchronize to each other’s natural innate energy!
