• Nurture the love that brought you together as a couple. Intimate relationships will not thrive automatically--they take effort.
• Be intentional about making plans to have fun together as a couple. Dating should not end with "I do."
• Make every birthday, anniversary and holiday a time to celebrate your relationship.
• Take time frequently for a date or romantic getaway.
• Become true partners in planning your future. The excitement of fulfilling shared dreams can reignite the flame of love that once brought you together.
• Let your partner know, as often as possible, what you admire, respect and love about her or him, just like you did when you first fell in love.
• Encourage each other to grow as individuals. Growth and development of each person’s unique strengths and gifts will, in turn, strengthen your union as a couple.
• Learn together some valuable tips and insights from relationship experts.

If your marriage is stressed and you are struggling to remain faithful to your spouse, marriage expert Mort Fertel makes this offer: Is your marriage in trouble? Get FREE advice. And get a FREE marriage assessment. No strings attached.

Family Relationship Advice and Resources For Parents

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes (insert your name here) with a baby carriage." Did you jump rope to that little ditty? I did. Though these relationships do not always follow in that order, parenting is often the result of our love for one another.

Understanding our children, and keeping communication open, can be as challenging as our relationship as a couple. Author Gary Chapman offers his advice about parents and children in The Five Love Languages of Children

Our five children have been both joy and challenge. We have often sought advice from our parents and others who have wisdom to share about parenting. Here are links to some of the best parenting advice we have to share:

• Parenting Advice From Mom
• 10 Best Parenting Tips
• Advice About Family Goals
• Advice About Protecting Children
• Organized Parenting Resources

One of the all time best selling books about relationships between men and women is The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts.

Family Relationship Advice and Resources For Extended Family

• Build strong family relationships with as many as possible. Loving communication with extended family including in-laws, grandparents,and others creates a network that offers a strong foundation.
• As we build a family, we are stretched in many ways. Our spouse needs us, our children need us and, often, our parents or grandparents need us. The term "the sandwich generation" was coined to describe those who feel "sandwiched" between the needs of their children and the needs of their aging parents.
