bjbjLULU Hi, I'm Shawn with the Odd Couple Blog. Ron & I are the Odd Couple and while
we aren't exactly what most Americans think of when you say the Odd Couple the personalities
of the characters fit us. We have been married for 27 years and my heart breaks when I see
the marriages of our friends and family struggle and at times not make it. So, we came up with
the idea of giving some marriage tips to help and give ideas to couples who are in trouble
or just want to keep their marriages growing. Now, its important for me to tell you, I don't
have marriage counceling degrees or any degree that gives me more knowledge in this field
except for on the job training. Like I mentioned earlier after being married for 27 years I
hope that there are enough little hints and tips that I have learned to pass on to you.
These will be short little tidbits I know you don't have half an hour or even 15 minutes
to sit. So these will be 1 to 2 minutes long. There will always be an action plan for each
tip. After all the tip is only as good as the action behind it. And here is my first
tip. Compliment your spouse. Most of us spend a lot of time with strangers and co-workers
talking to them with respect and give pats on the back to them. But when was the last
time you complimented your mate? It doesn't have to be a big thing simple household chores
that have to be done but show gratitude toward your love one and you will make their day.
Did he take the trash out? Thank him for it. Did she cook dinner? Give her a wink and compliment
her meatloaf. Nobody can make it as good as she can. You might give a strange look especially
if you have not complimented much in the past but they will like it. So today, make sure
to find something you can compliment your spouse about. Hi, I'm Shawn with the Odd Couple
