Essential Tips I use for My Thriving Marriage
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a strong and healthy marriage can be challenging. After 13 years of being married I found out that, with the right tools and mindset, you can build a relationship that not only lasts but thrives. Drawing inspiration from the principles I outlined in “The Iconic Formula for Marriage Success” and recent scientific findings on predictors of divorce, here are five essential tips to help you and your spouse, that my family also uses to create a successful and fulfilling marriage.
1. Cultivate a Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is crucial for overcoming challenges and continuously improving your relationship. Embrace the idea that both you and your spouse can grow and evolve together. This mindset encourages open communication, mutual support, and a willingness to learn from each other. As highlighted in “The Iconic Formula for Marriage Success,” developing the mental fortitude to combat marriage challenges is key to long-term success.
Winners concentrate on victory, placing success at the forefront. For instance, divorce is seldom a topic of discussion in my marriage; it's not contemplated or considered. Winners direct their attention to the actions necessary for triumph, not on potential or existing failures. Change your mindset and achieve victory.
2. Develop a Shared Vision and Mission
Having a clear vision and mission for your marriage helps you stay aligned and focused on your goals. Sit down with your spouse and discuss your dreams, aspirations, and values. Create a mission statement that reflects your shared purpose and use it as a guide for making decisions and navigating life’s ups and downs. This principle is a cornerstone of the Iconic Formula, emphasizing the importance of a unified direction for your marriage.

When you feel good about yourself, you’re better equipped to contribute positively to your relationship. The Iconic Formula underscores the significance of self-love as a foundation for loving your spouse effectively.

4. Develop Effective Communication Strategies
Communication is the lifeblood of any successful marriage. Learn to communicate openly, honestly, and respectfully with your spouse. Understand each other’s preferred communication styles and adapt accordingly. Effective communication helps prevent misunderstandings and fosters a deeper connection. The Iconic Formula provides valuable insights into developing communication strategies tailored to your spouse’s needs.
5. Address Predictors of Divorce
By being aware of these behaviors and actively working to avoid them, you can strengthen your marriage. For example, instead of criticizing your partner, focus on constructive feedback. Take accountability for your actions to avoid defensiveness, and ensure you communicate openly to prevent stonewalling. Most importantly, show respect and appreciation to avoid contempt, which is considered the most dangerous predictor of divorce.
It is easier to see someone doing wrong and lashing out than it is to make take the extra step to respond kindly. Remember that you both are a team and that you are talking to someone you love. Your spouse is allowed to be their own person.
When my husband and I disagree, I don’t pick apart the parts that I do not like. Instead, we talk about where we can agree and figure out the rest together. He isn’t in my life to make it harder on us but to help. Remember that often.
Conclusion
