MEETING EXPECTATIONS CREATES MARITAL HAPPINESS!!!

The SIMPLE REASON for MARITAL HAPPINESS is EXPECTATIONS are being REQUESTED and MET!

Whenever there is an UNHAPPY MARRIAGE, the reverse is true, and EXPECTATIONS are NOT BEING FULFILLED!

Within a HAPPY MARRIAGE, BOTH SPOUSES regularly REQUEST REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS because that is ESSENTIAL for HAPPINESS and EMOTIONAL INTIMACY!!!

HAPPY MARITAL COUPLES SLEEP TOGETHER!

Many UNHAPPY MARRIAGES are due to one SPOUSE having UNHEALTHY SLEEP HABITS, like STAYING UP LATE or NOT SLEEPING TOGETHER.

NOT SLEEPING TOGETHER also leads to an EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT and that often produces a TROUBLED MARRIAGE and SEXUAL INTIMACY PROBLEMS.

A husband and wife SLEEPING IN BED TOGETHER is a SIGN OF COMMITMENT and STRENGTHENS a RELATIONSHIP!

Commonsense Marriage Wisdom!!!

Whenever a couple has CONSISTENT MARITAL HAPPINESS, the simple reason is that THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE BEING MET! Whenever there is an unhappy marriage, the reverse is true, and expectations are not being fulfilled, and most often it is due to unexpressed expectations. Within a happy marriage, both SPOUSES DAILY OR AT A MINIMUM REGULARLY REQUEST EXPECTATIONS because they know that is essential for a strong emotional connection and a satisfying relationship!

GODLY CHARACTER AND GOOD CHOICES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY CHILD!!!

A healthy parent-child relationship is built through nurture, laughter, memories, respect, and when necessary, corrective discipline.  Through a strong relationship, an effective parent communicates through words and actions a deep desire for child to develop positive qualities and Godly character to help a child make wise choices throughout their entire life. 

An excellent goal for every parent is to daily praise either a positive attribute within a child or a specific action a child did that was meaningful.  Always use the words, “I appreciate . . .”  Praise creates positive energy within a child!

I had the privilege of joining Jim Daly, President, and John Fuller, VP, for an interview on a national broadcast of Focus on the Family to discuss Effective Parenting.  The interview may be watched at FocusOnTheFamily.com/shows/broadcast or on YouTube.  Please also share the Effective Parenting interview with family and friends. 

Simple Habits for Marital Happiness is a three-time national award-winning marriage book that will absolutely improve and strengthen every couple.  Simple Habits for Effective Parenting is the only resource that covers all seven areas of parenting for leading and guiding a child to be a responsible, motivated, and confident individual. 

Both Marital Happiness and Effective Parenting are available at Amazon or at CrossLinkPublishing.com.

For over four decades, Dr. Randy Schroeder, a licensed marriage and family therapist, pastor, and former seminary professor of pastoral counseling, has spoken to and counseled thousands of parents and spouses about the simple yet effective habits that are essential for healthy relationships.

BE ENCOURAGED BY GOD'S PEACE AND PRESENCE!!!

Psalm 46:1 states, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Our lives are filled with challenges BUT almighty God strengthens and upholds us every second of each day! All our prayers have God’s divine and perfect answers! TODAY, WE CAN ENJOY BEING CONFIDENT IN GOD!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical Book for Every Couple

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020

Dr. Schroeder’s book is a remarkable collection of short, pithy articles that help one deal with close, personal relationships. The focus is on strengthening the marital relationship. The book is best read in sections that speak to issues with which a couple might be working. I have read numerous marital self-help books that don’t really help one focus on the essentials of building a relationship. Dr. Schroeder speaks to every essential issue all couples have. It is written from a solid Christian perspective and comes via many decades of clinical experience. It’s a book that can help couples work on a troubled relationship or can help couples make a good relationship better. Dr. Schroeder, indeed, gives the reader, “Practical skills and Tools that Build a Strong and Satisfying Relationship.”

This is a book everyone needs to read. It is easy to understand and has a lot of pointers on how to change your bad habits into good habits to help strengthen your marriage. 

5.0 out of 5 stars by Kayla

Whether you are engaged and planning your life together, newly-weds, or have been married for thirty years, the lessons in Randall Schroeder's Simple Habits For Marital Happiness (ISBN: 978-1633571754) can help you have a strong, satisfying relationship. Schroeder teaches 90 lessons that span seven chapters. The seven chapters deal with the following themes: forgiveness, strengthening the martial bond through commitment and closeness, the importance of enhancing emotional and spiritual oneness, communication, protecting and "guarding" your relationship, respectful disagreement discussions and keeping the "bond of peace," and financial harmony.

Each lesson can be read in roughly 5 minutes, so they can easily be woven into daily reading for couples to grow together. Even after reading through one time, readers will want to revisit the lessons again and again to develop healthy habits within their marriage. The lessons in chapter three, Habits That Promote Spiritual and Emotional Closeness, provide important foundational lessons. For example, it is important to pour into each on a daily basis. Each day, spouses should fill each other's cups through respectful dialogue. Through pouring into one another's cups, or pumping water into their water towers, it decreases tension and increases emotional closeness. 

Emotional closeness is a large theme within the book. Emotional closeness is achieved through various words and actions including appreciation and public praise, "quick connects," "date your mates," laughing together (but never at each other's expense), politeness, and healthy habits for communication, guarding your relationship, and financial harmony.

5.0 out of 5 stars by Kelly

Overall, Schroeder's Simple Habits For Marital Happiness is a fantastic guidebook for couples and individuals looking to grow in their relationships.

This is not your typical quick tips for a better marriage type of book. This is very deep and in-depth to strengthen the bond of husband and wife. Highly recommend for any couples looking to continue building a solid relationship with each other.
