5 non-negotiable relationship rules needed to stay together, forever

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Our society seems to be in a pivotal moment of change. What kind of change?  Change in society, culture, economics, Ex Citra…  The list is endless. Our lord has changed the attitudes about marriage in our society. In the United States, the odds of not getting divorced are the same as flipping a coin, but that seems to be changing or actually dropping…  You must assume that with the economy… no you’re wrong…What dropping?

Today, we may have the lowest divorce rate in the United States since the 1970s.  In fact, as Catholics we enter into fewer divorces then the general population, according to the Barna Group. So, why post about something that seems to be resolving itself? In the last few years, I have known either friends or acquaintances to get divorced. Why, is the question I still ask myself?

After talking many times with my own fiancée we both looked into our own relationship. We came up with the 5 non-negotiable relationship rules needed to stay together, forever. This is not limited to only five rules, but these are the rules we have used in our own relationship and it seems to work. In the next few weeks I will cover the following rules:

1. Communicate ,Communicate, Communicate
2. Do you listen, really?
3. Its’ we, not I DUMMY!
4. 48hr make up
5. Grow Together

Feel free to leave comment about your own relationship rules.
