So how do you guard your marriage from getting complacent? Make it a habit of being attentive to your spouse. Sit and share with each other once in awhile. Do little gestures like getting your husband a cold drink while he is working outside or rubbing his feet or shoulders after a grueling day at work. Don't forget to flirt! Flirting is still fun when you are married and your charm will keep the fun going on otherwise normal days.

Complacency can be so sneaky that you don't even remember how it got there. But, got there it did! That's when you can really start to feel like you're living on autopilot and your husband becomes a business associate instead of a soul mate.

When you're dating and even when you are in the first few years of marriage; a couple is very attentive to each other's needs. Then something happens. That cute little way your man used to leave his things about can start to really bug you! You have children and get busy and tired. Complacency moves into your home.
