MEAP #3 – Keep Up Your Physical Appearance!

Many people don’t realize just how important this MEAP is to a healthy marriage…But keeping your physical appearance respectable communicates a message to your spouse…A message that says you care enough about them to put in the time and effort to keep up your own appearance!

Let’s face it, physicality is a strong attraction factor for both men and women (though men especially).  Always has been, always will be.  And while there is certainly more to it than this, one way to keep the passion burning in your marriage is to try and continue to look good.

Ladies, your husband doesn’t want to see you wearing your pajamas at 7:00PM.  That’s pretty much the opposite of a turn on…    And men, if you “forget” to shave out of sheer laziness and walk around the house with glazed icing dangling from your bottom lip, why do you then expect your wife to be physically interested in you?!

Here are some practical tips you can follow in order to start nailing this MEAP:

1. Dress “for” your spouse – if she thinks you look ugly in brown, stop wearing that brown shirt!  Try and find out what your spouse thinks is attractive and adjust accordingly.
2. Don’t be lazy – again, I go back to the pajamas and shaving examples above.
3. Tell your spouse when you think he or she looks attractive.

This was a short MEAP, but hopefully fairly self-explanatory…let’s move on…
