The three key ways to create a marriage both partners will protect
Introduction
Marriage can be a beautiful thing. It's the promise of two people committing to each other for life, the opportunity to grow together and build a home with someone special. But marriage isn't always easy, and it's not always perfect—and no one should expect it to be. There are going to be times when your spouse is late with dinner again or forgets about your anniversary. Sometimes you're going to feel like your partner doesn't respect you enough or doesn't listen when you talk about your problems at work. And yes, sometimes they'll do something so hurtful that they make you want to throw in the towel on this whole marriage thing altogether (or at least threaten divorce). But here's what everyone forgets: even though there will always be ups and downs in any relationship, that doesn't mean it has failed forever (or even close!).
1. Create a safe place
The first way to create a marriage both partners will protect is by creating a safe place for your partner to share their thoughts and feelings. This means being a good listener, allowing your partner to have their own thoughts and feelings without judging them or trying to fix things.
In other words: don't interrupt or judge; don't try to fix things; don't try to be right.
2. Communicate from a place of truth and love
Communicate from a place of truth and love.
Don't be afraid to share your feelings.
Don't be afraid to ask for what you need.
Don't be afraid to say no, even if it's hard or uncomfortable--it can help strengthen your relationship by fostering trust, respect, and honesty in the long run! And remember: No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes (including you). When we make mistakes that hurt our partner(s) or ourselves as individuals within relationships, it's important not only that we apologize but also take action by doing something positive like volunteering at an animal shelter together so that everyone can feel good again after experiencing conflict together (or separately).
3. Practice integrity and self-care
Taking care of yourself and practicing integrity can be difficult, especially if you're in a relationship with someone who has a different definition of what "taking care" means. But these are two essential parts of being in a marriage that will survive long-term--and if you do them well, they'll help keep your partner from becoming resentful or feeling like he or she isn't getting enough attention from their partner.
Integrity means doing what's right even when no one is looking (or even cares). For example: If your partner asks for something and then changes his mind about it later on, would it still be okay for him to ask again? If so, then why did he need to change his mind? Maybe because he forgot how much work went into preparing whatever it was at first--and maybe next time around he'll remember! Or maybe because he didn't actually want it at all; maybe there was another reason entirely! Either way: integrity is important because when we have integrity in our relationships with others (including ourselves), then those relationships become stronger over time rather than weaker!
These three things can create a marriage that encourages both partners to protect it.

Conclusion
Marriage is a gift, and it's up to us as partners to protect it. We can do this by creating a safe place where we feel loved and valued by our spouse, communicating from a place of truth and love instead of anger or resentment, and practicing integrity through self-care practices like meditation or exercise.
