7. KEEP giving your best even when your spouse isn’t giving his/her best in return (this is SO difficult, but it’s the key to success).
If you really want your marriage to work, you must remain committed to giving your best even when your spouse is at his/her worst. This goes against everything in our human nature, but this is also the very essence of love. “Love” isn’t really love until we give it to someone who is acting unlovable (and we’ve all been unlovable at times). Your spouse probably needs your love the most in those moments when he/she deserves it least. If you will keep giving your best, then you will be doing everything in your power to bring healing to your marriage.
