3 wonderful phrases guaranteed to improve your marriage

While it may not be all bliss, marriage can be happy if both husband and wife know how to communicate with each other truthfully and effectively. Most of the time, relationships fall apart, not because the couple doesn't love each other anymore, but because they feel insignificant to their partner as time goes by. Ironically, both of them need more from each other, while feeling that they both are unneeded anymore by their partner.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - For not only to save marriages, but to help both people in the relationship express themselves more effectively, Whitney Hopler shared some of phrases most couples might have forgotten to use. Posted on Crosswalk.com, here are three of the needed phrases for marriages, as adopted from the book by Jeffrey and Laura Laffoon in 2010.

1. "I love you."

The necessity to feel and hear those words is fundamental to marriage, as they are bound in love of God. Say "I love you" from the bottom of your hearts and when you really do, it makes the whole ordeal more effective and meaningful.

2. "I'm proud of you."

First, remember that both men and women have the capabilities to succeed in their respective careers. Telling your husband or wife that you are proud of what he/she had done is something that assures them that you are together in a wonderful lifetime partnership called marriage. Affirming that you are makes everything better and more worthwhile.

3. "I want you."

Men and women both like want to be wanted and there is nothing wrong with making your husband or wife feel wanted. To say "I want you" can make them feel desirable and respected at the same time, communicating with them while engaging into an intimate activity with their full consent.

Just remember, words are as good as nothing if you don't mean them.
