Introduction
The Basics
Sub·mit (suh·b·mit); verb: to give over or yield to the power or authority of another
Time Out!!!
Do not compare your marriage to others
Mr. and Mrs. Right
Don’t be an Alpha parent
and an Omega spouse
Open marriages and
ménage a trois no-no’s
Own up to your mistakes
Allow for do-overs
Do not forget important dates
Help! I can’t cook
Use relationship etiquette
Carry your fair share
R-E-S-P-E-C-T each others belongings
Where I am weak he is strong
Stop, look, and listen
If you can see it, you can achieve it
Possession is 9/10th of the law
Communication
Let it go
Teach. Don’t Preach
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
Do not read between the lines
A man should not hit a woman. NEWSFLASH: A woman should not hit a man either
And the password is…
Social media meltdown
It’s not what you say, but how you say it
Limit opposite-sex friends
Children & Family
To children or not to children
2nd Place goes to… The kids!
Step children are your children too
Stomp out the baby mama or
baby daddy drama
Children are not pawns
Communicate about the children only
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
—Mark 3:25 (NIV)
You do yours and I will do mine
Do not go tell it on the mountain
Thank You and Good Night
Body Sense & Sex
Proper hygiene
Three more… two more…
one more… and rest
Keep up your appearance
No smoking please
Understand the natural aging process
Stomping out self-consciousness
Limit artificial beauty enhancements
Bring sex back
Sex is not a tool
What goes on in the bedroom,
stays in the bedroom
Use plenty of spice
Children sleep in their own bedrooms
And the Oscar goes to…
If you get an inch, don’t take a mile
Stay focused
Touch me and I’ll touch you back
Mr. and Mrs. Google-Eyes
Protect and serve
Finance
The #1 marriage argument = Money
The Big Kahuna
Honey, can I borrow $20?
Find a penny. Pick it up. All the day you’ll have good luck
Bills, bills, bills
Lastly, Stay organized
