Here are the last 6 of the 12 ways to make your remarriage work:
- Display these two contagious attitudes as much as possible: gratitude and forgiveness. We can never have enough of this stuff! Gratitude is always for each other and sometimes forgiveness is for ourselves.
- Don’t forget about “self-care.” A stronger, more relaxed you rubs off on everyone.
- Don’t try to go it alone. Tap into the experience of others who may be a little further along in their remarriage experience. Continue to invest in your relationship.
- Make building a legacy of restoration your goal. Keep that goal in front of you, even on the darkest days. It’ll be worth it. The best gift we can give our kids is a strong marriage, and you can still make that happen!
- Laugh at hard moments more.
- Remember what brought you together in the first place. When was the last time you were on a date? Away for a weekend? Be intentional to get away with each other—often.
