How to Have a Better Marriage | Dr Gary Chapman
Focus on the Family
A marriage counselor of sixty-plus years on why the in-love feeling fades, and what real love does next.
Takeaway
The in-love euphoria fades around year two — that's not the marriage failing, it's the marriage starting. Loving in their language anyway is the most powerful move you've got.
Reflection
01
Name the one recurring conflict you keep having, and write down what you think your spouse is actually asking for underneath it.
02
Write down your spouse's love language. This week, do one concrete thing in it — without waiting for them to do the same first.
03
Decide on a window (Chapman suggests six months) to keep loving well before you take stock, and put the review date on your calendar. It's a check-in, not a sentence to endure: if you feel unsafe, your safety comes first.
