MARRIEDPEOPLE MONTHLY

 

Each month, we share ideas and insights you can actually apply to your marriage. So try a few of the tips below and see how little things can turn into something big. You've got this—because you are better at marriage than you think!

How do you celebrate each other's differences?


Kim: When we were first married, I thought we agreed about everything. Over time, I've discovered we have many differences. We work intentionally to appreciate our differences, instead of being irritated by them. We realize that God put us together to complement one another and work together as a team. 

Everett is an 'acts of service' guy, so I try to thank him for the things he does for me, especially in front of others. I love spending 'quality time' together. He is gracious to take time to sit down and talk.

Everett: After 24 years of marriage I find that we are more in tune with each other than when first married. This goes for our needs, desires, and our differences. I no longer push against these differences as much, but realize they're part of God's plan.

When I embrace my bride's differences, it brings a new perspective and a greater appreciation of God's design for our marriage.

Kim & Everett Kvamme have been married for 24 years.

While there were times we didn’t see eye-to-eye about money, experience taught us that if we avoided the issue, it only made things worse. I recently learned that’s the case in a lot of relationships.

The Best Gift You Can Give Your Spouse Is a Healthy You


Social media can have a positive impact on our marriages—couples can stay connected even while apart, share photos of how much they love one another, and change the world with another clever wedding hashtag.

 

However, social media can also be a detriment for some marriages. In most cases, the constant phone checking can distract us from healthy conversations with our spouse. At worst, it can actually lead to relational temptation and even infidelity.
