10 Ways to Insulate Your Marriage for a Warm, Strong Relationship

The Generous Husband

Last Friday, I discussed the need to insulate your marriage. But how do you do that?

• Check for drafts: Are you nagging her, or making negative comments? Drafts from your mouth need to be stopped!
• Insulate her with compliments: Tell her, repeatedly, how beautiful and wonderful she is. This forms a thick layer of insulation that keeps the cold out and the warmth in.
• Seal up cracks: Don’t leave little space between what you promise and what you do. Being a man of your word helps her stay warm.
• Double pane your windows: In other words, watch your eyes. If you’re glancing at other women, or porn, she feels it even if she doesn’t see you do it. When that’s not there, she retains heat better.
• Keep a blanket handy: Hugging is powerful, reassuring, comforting, and it feels safe. Does she know you are there to wrap your arms around her any time she feels a chill?
• Have thick, solid walls: Create healthy boundaries to protect your marriage, including limits on your relationships with other women.
• Get thick curtains: Some parts of your marriage should not be exposed, they should be private.
• Know the seasons: Don’t push her to do things for you when the marriage is running cold.
• Provide shade: Good insulation also keeps out unwanted heat, like the heat she can take from your work, or your family.
• Ventilate as needed: Some modern homes are so “tight” the air becomes unhealthy. Privacy is needed, but be sure there is enough input from others to keep your marriage healthy.
