Should Couples Stay Married Even When They’re No Longer In Love

Marriage is a beautiful thing and one of the major factor that makes two people to decide to get married is love. However, what happens when the love in the marriage has declined? should couples stay together or dissolve the marriage?

The honest truth which is unspoken of about marriage is that the romantic love that brought you and your spouse together will not last forever! Falling out of love in marriage is very normal and part of the marriage journey. Hence, don’t think there is anything wrong with you or abnormal about your marriage when there is no longer love in your marriage. Hence, the fact that there is no longer love in your marriage is not a reason to dissolve the marriage or to cheat on your spouse.

This is why commitment and friendship is very important in the marriage, because when the love is gone it is your commitment and friendship that will help the marriage to thrive, and help you and your spouse to commit and respect each other. It is this commitment and friendship that will help you both to look for ways to spice up your marriage and rekindle the love and bond in the marriage through hard work.

You and your spouse have to be intentional about rekindling the bond and love in your marriage. Don’t expect that the love will automatically remain between you and your spouse without putting in the work required. Go on dates regularly, complement each other regularly, buy each other gifts ( especially the man), respect each other in the way you address yourselves both in private and public, stand up for each other when others disrespect your spouse, be open and honest, don’t keep secrets or restrict your spouse from your phone, don’t disrespect your spouse boundaries.

With commitment, friendship, respect and being intentional about rekindling the bond and love in your relationship your marriage will last and withstand the test of time!
