5 Fun Things to do in 2023 to Keep Your Marriage Strong

Ok, it’s the new year and, if you are married, are you perhaps looking for fun things to do in 2023 to keep your marriage strong?

We go into marriage hoping that it will last forever but on our wedding day we aren’t given an instruction manual — a guidebook to help us navigate marriage and all its challenges.

As a result, many marriages die a slow death, often unnoticed by spouses until it’s too late!

I was married for 20 years and am now divorced and, in retrospect, it is quite clear to me how, because I left my marriage untended, it ultimately, sadly, ended.

So, based on my experience and the experiences of my friends and clients who are still married, I would like to share with you 5 fun things to do in 2023 to keep your marriage strong.

#1 — Give your marriage a check-up.

I have a client who has been happily married for 10 years. Very, very happy! When I asked her the secret to her success she told me it’s because they give their marriage an annual check-up, much like the one they get when they see their doctor, to check on the health of their union.

They do it every January, after the Christmas decorations are put away, in front of the fireplace, sipping Manhattans.
