6. Create a Daily Ritual

It's easy to become captive to a busy schedule, but happy couples make the most of it. Every couple interviewed for the Happy Wives Club book enjoyed a daily ritual maintained for decades. They intentionally connect to each other at the same time nearly every day. For some it’s coffee together every morning. Others make sure they have tea in the afternoon, or appetizers and port in the evening. All agree; the daily connection lets them know what's going on with their spouse and builds trust.

Happy Wives Tip: Develop a good habit. Set aside a special time just for the two of you. Make it comfortable and make it a priority.

8. Support Your Spouse

It's team Husband & Wife in a happy marriage. Without exception, Happy Wives Club research turned up strong shows of support from both spouses through school, life changes, career changes, goals and dreams. They constantly are building each other up. Sometimes the husband supported the household, other times it was the wife. Which spouse brought in the money didn't matter. What does matter is the respect and support of both husband and wife.

Happy Wives Tip: Take your partnership seriously. You are in it together, so never undermine your husband in any situation. Defend and support him through it all, and it will all turn out well in the end.
