On Wednesdays I post a practical wisdom thought or suggestion on Marriage, Parenting, or Life. Research has found that distressed couples have more fights and arguments than happy couples, not surprising. In addition to more arguments, distressed couples also have a tendency to avoid conflicts by withdrawing from each other and that creates a silent marital atmosphere. A muted marital mood compounds the dissatisfaction because that means fewer gratifying times together.

On the other hand, research discovered satisfied couples intentionally have good times together when they are not having arguments. Happy couples actually plan for those positive times and that produces even more deposits in their emotional love bank account.

TODAY: Plan for daily, weekly, and monthly good times to strengthen your relationship as well as overcome a silent marital atmosphere.
