Marriage is not a noun, its a verb

It isnt something you get, its something you do,

Its the way you love your partner everyday…


Barbara De Angelis


Marriage and all relationships are built on the foundation of 3 things >

Communication, Courtesy and Compassion


Its called the art of communication because that is exactly what it is… An art - to communicate effectively it is just as important to speak as it is to listen. When faced with a disagreement effective communication is when both partners speak in an unambiguous manner whilst giving time for the other to respond whilst listening in an active way, which means not interrupting and truly hearing what is being said. Productive, supportive, positive communication is vital for a healthy relationship. Communication must be without blame or criticism with the main focus being on the good!


Courtesy is how one behaves towards others. It embodies a respectful approach towards your partner. Courtesy is essential to nurture a healthy relationship and although it is a two-way street it must start with you! Using negative language only invites negativity into a situation - take responsibility for your part and take a time out if needed during a disagreement to ensure that words spoken are productive and constructive.


Each of us bring different dynamics into a relationship and with that our own “stuff” - compassion for your partner shows that you are sensitive to their feelings and that the burdens they carry are in no way diminished, only understood. It reinforces that you are in this together and therefore enhances consideration and kindness within the relationship.
