There is a special bond that exists between partners, we have the pleasure of being with our partners the most and stay together, hopefully, for a very long time. Most of us don't realize or refuse to accept the fact that everything in this world is bound to change- including relationships. It is not a bad thing. Change is natural. Change can be a beautiful thing. With a little bit of knowledge a lot of practice, we can affect what changes happen in our lives and our relationships. We are not at the mercy of fate. The power to keep our relationships or break them is largely up to us. We can decide to be selfish or we can decide to nourish and nurture what love and goodness we experience in our relationships.

Take a moment to examine or be reminded of some of the bad habits that can ruin your marriage. This way, the moment we become aware we are acting in this way or thinking in this way, we can immediately stop the bad habit in its tracks. The more we do this, the less power the bad habits will have over us. Bad habits we already have need great effort to be changed but this does not mean that they cannot be changed.

Remain vigilant, learn to watch your mind and be careful of your actions. Once you acquire the concentration to watch your thoughts and actions a little bit more, it will get easier and easier to get rid of these bad habits.

1. Lying - Don't even begin with the small ones and if you are way past big ones, try to whittle them down to tiny tiny white lies. Strive to nurture open lines of communication with your partner. Your partner is your greatest friend, whatever things that lay heavy on your mind, you should feel like you can share those as well as light-hearted chats. Think open ears, open arms, open hearts, open minds and open souls.

2.Abusing Your Sexuality - Explore your sexuality with your partner as much as it is fun for both of you and comfortable. However, that should stop there. Examine yourself if you entertain sexual thoughts for other people. Do you think that flirting is a natural thing or something that is harmless? Think again, because anything big doesn't already come that way, they come from small causes just as the mighty oak tree comes from a small acorn. So the next time you want to give someone the flirtatious eyes, think again.

3.Harsh Speech - Especially in arguments and misunderstandings, we lose our patience and may sometimes or oftentimes rattle off snide, harsh, hurtful remarks. It is very hard to stop this right in
