“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” Mignon McLaughlin.
In reality, this can be difficult to do.
If you’re having trouble in your marriage or just need a reset, affirmations can help. Consistently repeating affirmations can strengthen your bond as a couple and allow your marriage to thrive.
We have listed 87 affirmations for marriage and explained how they can work wonders for your relationship.
Why Affirmations Are Important for Marriage
Family life can be hectic at times. When you’re juggling children, housework, work, and other activities, your marriage can easily fall down your list of priorities.
Couples start to take each other for granted when there isn’t enough spare time to work on their marriage. Worst-case scenario, partners fall out of love when they don’t feel respected or valued.
Affirmations for your marriage are the perfect place to start when you feel your relationship needs a boost. You’ll be amazed by how reciting positive beliefs about your relationship can get it out of a rut.
The Benefits of Affirmations for Marriage
Marriage affirmations are positive and encouraging statements that are vital to fostering a confident and healthy relationship.
These affirmations positively impact your conscious and subconscious mind. Over time, these declarations will replace negative thoughts and doubts with positive beliefs and habits.
They offer a daily reminder of why you chose to marry your spouse and how important they are to you. You’ll feel better knowing that you’re making time for your relationship in such a positive and powerful way.
Consistently reciting your affirmations helps you focus on the type of marriage you want to have. As a result, you’ll both begin to experience your desires in reality, and the love and passion you share will be reignited. This will give you the strength and determination to get through the tough times; now and until death do you part.
How Exactly Do Affirmations Work?
Affirmations help move your focus away from what you see as failures and towards the strengths in your marriage.
Your brain can adapt and change in response to different situations you experience. However, your brain can’t tell the difference between imagination and reality.
This is why affirmations are so successful. By imagining something – e.g., goofing around with your spouse – you’ll activate the same areas of your brain as if it were happening. How cool is that?
Repeating affirmations about yourself, your spouse, and your marriage encourages your brain to process the statement as fact. First, however, you need to believe in what you’re saying. When you do, your actions will change to match these new beliefs.
For example, replace “My wife/husband doesn’t have time to listen to me” with “My wife/husband thinks what I have to say is important.”
In this scenario, you’ll feel encouraged and confident about speaking to your spouse. And as you know, being able to communicate in a marriage is essential.
