Have you ever felt like having a happy, thriving marriage is as impossible as climbing Mount Everest? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to get there? The truth is, having the marriage you’ve always dreamed of isn’t about making massive, impossible changes—it’s about focusing on a few simple things that make all the difference.
If you and your spouse commit to these six things, your marriage will flourish in ways you never imagined. And the best part? It’s easier than you think.
1. Regular Date Nights
Life is busy. Between work, kids, and responsibilities, it’s easy to let quality time with your spouse take a backseat. But here’s the secret: prioritizing date nights can transform your marriage. It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate—it just has to be intentional.
Whether it’s a cozy dinner at home, a walk around the neighborhood, or a night out, date nights remind you why you fell in love in the first place.
They give you time to reconnect, talk without distractions, and simply enjoy each other’s presence. When you consistently invest in quality time, your relationship naturally deepens and strengthens.
Many couple’s don’t know what to do for date nights. If you are one of these couples, check out our date night challenges and weekly date ideas that are already planned out for you on the UandI App!

2. Show Appreciation
Think about how good it feels when someone acknowledges your hard work or expresses gratitude for something you did. Now imagine how powerful that could be in your marriage.
Showing appreciation—both in big ways and small—builds a culture of love and respect. Thank your spouse for making dinner, handling the kids, or simply being there for you. Leave a sweet note, send a thoughtful text, or say “I appreciate you” out loud. When both spouses feel valued, resentment disappears, and love grows.
3. Prioritize Physical Intimacy
Let’s be honest—intimacy is a big deal in marriage. And it’s not just about the physical side; it’s about emotional connection too. When you prioritize intimacy, you create closeness, security, and a deeper bond with your spouse.
Physical intimacy isn’t just about sex—it’s also about holding hands, cuddling, kissing, and maintaining that spark. When couples make physical intimacy a priority instead of an afterthought, they feel more connected, desired, and fulfilled in their marriage.
4. Good Communication
Most marital problems stem from poor communication. If you don’t feel heard, or if you and your spouse are constantly misunderstanding each other, frustration builds. The good news? Communication isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being intentional.
Listen to understand, not just to respond. Express your feelings calmly instead of bottling them up. Ask questions, check in daily, and be open with each other. The more you communicate with love and honesty, the stronger your marriage becomes.
5. Have Fun
Do you remember when you used to laugh and be playful together? Marriage shouldn’t just be about responsibilities—it should be fun too!
Find ways to laugh, play, and enjoy life together. Try new experiences, dance in the kitchen, play games, or have an inside joke that only the two of you understand. When you make fun a priority, your marriage becomes a place of joy instead of just another responsibility on your to-do list.
6. Put Your Marriage First
It’s easy to let work, kids, hobbies, or even extended family come before your spouse. But the happiest marriages are the ones where both people make their relationship a priority.
This doesn’t mean neglecting everything else in your life—it means recognizing that your marriage is the foundation of your family and your happiness. Protect your time together, set boundaries with outside commitments, and remind each other daily that your marriage matters most.
A Happy Marriage is Within Reach
The best marriages aren’t perfect—they’re simply intentional. If you focus on these six things, you’ll see just how easy it can be to have the marriage you’ve always dreamed of.
It doesn’t require climbing Mount Everest—it just requires a little effort, a lot of love, and a commitment to making your marriage a priority. And trust me, the rewards are more than worth it.
