In Greg and Erin Smalley’s book, The Wholehearted Wife, they list ten keys to a more loving relationship:

1. Honoring — the value of a diamond
2. Nourishing — honor in action
3. Accepting personality and other differences — understanding our unique design
4. Connecting spiritually — relating at the soul level
5. Fostering communication — a matter of the heart
6. Connecting sexually — the secrets of a great sex life
7. Resolving conflict in a healthy manner — a doorway to intimacy
8. Defusing anger — taming volcanoes
9. Forgiving — set the prisoners free
10. Transforming life’s trials into blessings — treasure hunting
