How to Build a Marriage That Lasts a Lifetime

How to Build a Marriage that Lasts a Lifetime

If you’re reading this, you likely are looking for ways to build a marriage that lasts a lifetime. What can couples who are contemplating marriage do to invest in their future?  As I’ve written about (passionately!) in previous posts, there are specific things that smart couples do — right from the start of their relationship — to set themselves up for a happy, healthy, successful marriage.

Step one? Relationship education. Regrettably, no one explicitly teaches you how to have good relationships. We all muddle through, learning from our mistakes and breaking some things occasionally in the process. But your marriage is much too important to wander through blindly. The quality of your marriage is the center of the life you’ll build. Don’t take chances. Do it right. Believe it or not, there is actually a relationship instruction manual to build a marriage that lasts a lifetime!

What we know from research is that couples who engage in high-quality marriage education programs, either before they get married or in the first few years of marriage, have much better outcomes than couples who don’t. Statistics show lower divorce rates, higher marital satisfaction, and a stronger partnership. You can achieve this too, by investing in your relationship, and educating yourself.

Why does relationship education help? Because proactive couples on a positive trajectory who learn ahead of time how to handle inevitable issues, how to communicate, and how to keep their love alive prevent relationship problems from happening in the first place.
