Have You Ever Had a Knock-Down-Drag-Out with Your Spouse on the Way to a Meeting? If so, welcome to the club! Sometimes it can be challenging working with your significant other. I have been working together with my amazing husband since we met in 2001. We’ve always done stuff together. And over the years we’ve had to learn a lot about this very subject. Here are some tips I have learned and I think they can help you too! Let’s talk about things!
Tips for an Amazing Marriage and Business!
Recognize Each Other Strengths and Use Them! One of the things that has been so very helpful for us is by recognizing each other’s strengths. We all have different things that we’re good at. One might be great at back office stuff, flyer design and recognition. While the other person might be better at connecting with people and likes being the spokes person. One might be more behind the scenes, while the other likes to be out in front. A Big Tip is learning to recognize yours and your spouse’s strong points. Make that the area that each person is “In Charge Of”. This will take the pressure off of the other person and I will allow you to compliment each other in a greater fashion.
If They Are “In Charge”, Let Them Be “In Charge”. Now if you do take this approach, you want to “stay in your lane”. If they are in charge of something, let them rule the roost on that subject. Unless there’s some major thing that you feel you need to step in for, let them be 100% in charge.
Communication. Communication is Super Important! If something is on your mind you have to find the right time and share it with them. Don’t let things build up over long periods of time.
Learning Each Other’s Love Language. There’s a book by Gary Chapman called the “Five Love Languages”. This book is awesome! And it will help you tremendously in realizing what’s important to your spouse and to different people in your team. It talks about the Five Different Love Languages everybody has a different way that they “feel” love. Check it out and discover what is your love language, and your spouse’s.
Conflict Resolution! Yo! Can I get an amen for this! This is huge! It helps you not only in your marriage, but actually in everything you do in your life and in your business. It helps you with your team, helps with your kids, helps you with your spouse. It helps with pretty much everything! LOL! Orrin Woodward has a book out there called Launching a Leadership Revolution. One of the things that he said that helped me greatly is…
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. Sometimes we can get all bent out of shape over nothing! We have our view and our own opinion. Instead of bombarding the other person with what they did that offended you, take a couple minutes to sit down and hear what they have to say first. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. By you taking time to learn what was going on in their mind often times you will find that it was really a misunderstanding. Or it will give you an opportunity to see their point of view and understand where they’re coming from. This will make a lot of issues actually disappear if you use this technique! It is fabulous!
Keep Yourself in the Safe Zone. One of the things that we learned a long time ago is to limit the closeness with people in your team of the opposite sex. So if your husband or wife and you have guys and ladies in your team. The wife should go work with the ladies, especially when doing home parties and one-on-ones and things like that. And the husband should do the same with the guys. Don’t get yourself in a situation where you are working very closely alone with someone from the opposite sex. It opens the door for all kinds of issues. Stay in the Safe Zone and all will go well with you.
Get In Alignment with What God Says…Another big thing is to understand and fall into alignment with the way that God has set up your household. In the Bible it says “wives submit your self to your husband, as to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:22. If you are a strong-willed or do-it-yourself kind of girl (like me), This can be very challenging. But it can also be one of the most freeing things that there is! Learning to come under the covering and protection of your husband is essential to having a healthy relationship and healthy marriage. Women, let your man step up and “be the man”. Let him lead. Men, when the woman gives you the go ahead “take charge” and be her knight on shining armor! .
The other part of that verse says “Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave him self up for her”. That means men are suppose to protect and love their wives. And ladies honor and submit to your husband. When you do this everything will be just as it should.
I hope you enjoyed these tips! They are things that we have learned over the course of our life and I hope to add some great value to you and that special person in yours!
