Marriage Tip #5
Enjoy your differences! Someone once said that if a husband and wife are too much alike . . . one of them is not needed! So . . . celebrate your differences and realize that the two of you together bring a combined energy and strength to the health of your relationship.
Marriage Tip #4
Laugh together - it is a marvelous gift! It releases chemicals in your brain which can enhance your day and reduce your stress. Why not rent a comedy video and enjoy it together as you cuddle on the couch?
Marriage Tip #3
Be kind to one another. Put your own concerns on hold from time to time and think about how you can show kindness to your spouse. What will you do today?

Marriage Tip #2
Practice forgiveness when you hurt your spouse. Not forgiving is like drinking poison and hoping that the other person dies. Forgiveness sometimes is a process and takes time. But . . . take the time . . . to forgive!

Marriage Tip #1
Spend intentional time together. If you are so busy that you aren’t spending time together, decide to turn the TV off one night and talk or take a walk together.

Welcome to Fresno Marriages Rock!
Hi,
We're happy to begin a blog that couples in Central California can access. We have several goals for this blog. First, we will be offering marriage tips and advice that hopefully will be an encouragement to you. Second, we want you to share your stories with us. What makes your relationship so special? Do you have advice for newleyweds? Third, we want people to ask questions -- perhaps you are having problems and maybe others have been through what you are going through and they can help you.
My wife and I have been married almost 39 years, have four grown children and 4 beautiful grandchildren. We have lived in Fresno since 1989. We would like to invite you to post your comments often. You are needed to make this a successful blog on healthy marriages.
So . . . who are you . . . how long have you been married? Or perhaps you are engaged or living together and thinking of getting married. Write and introduce yourself.
We will be posting marriage tips fairly often that you can take and use in your relationship to make it even stronger than it is!
Welcome!
