Hang a brass wind chime inside your fromt door for clarity

Have books in plain view as you enter your home to increase insight

Hang a round mirror (it can be small one ) in your bedroom to bring more love, compassion, and understanding to an intimate relationship

Place flowers in your bedroom, kitchen and study to culitvate good luck

Hang a mirror on the wall adjacent to or behind your stove to reflect the burners, which are symbols of wealth and prosperity.

5 STEPS TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE

Communicate your goals – Instead of complaining when you are upset, try to sort out what you really need in your marriage. Take time to write it down. Spell out you short and long term goals. Share them with your spouse and be prepared to listen to what he or she wants for the two of you.

Learn to like your mate - Loving is a gift. Like is practical. Tell your spouse something that you like about him or her every day. Be specific.

Pull out a happy face – Keep a picture of the two of you at your happiest and look at it whenever your annoyed with one another.

Make peace not war – Every couple disagrees sometimes. But screaming at each other does not solve the problem. Compromise, compromise, compromise. But don’t try to solve problems when you are angry with each other. Cool down and remember why you married this person. Choosing the same day of the week to sit down and talk can take the tension out of disagreements and cut down on daily sniping. Be thoughtful. Think how you would feel if you heard what you are planning to say to your spouse.

Go on dates - No discussing kids or financial matters. Take turns planning. Try to think what the other person would enjoy.
