Wife of 23 years, Lonica Knudsen, says the number one thing that has helped her grow closer with her husband is consistently spending one-on-one time together. \"Set aside at least 30 minutes daily to spend together and go on at least one date night per week.\" With three rowdy boys living at home, setting even a short amount of time aside each day can be hard, but she and her husband make it a priority.<\/p>

What you and your spouse do during your daily one-on-one sessions is up to you (and it can be hard to find in your busy schedule) but setting aside weekly dates is sure to improve your relationship.<\/p>\n\n

2. Think before you speak - Jaclyne<\/h2>\n
Texan Jaclyne Loera says communication is key for a strong marriage. \"I think before I talk, so I don't just say something mean or something I didn't really want to say. I've learned that over the years!\" Jaclyne said this habit goes hand in hand with making time for each other. With these habits, Jaclyne says despite the challenges of recently moving between different states, she and her husband have gotten so much stronger as a couple.<\/p>\n
