"1. CONSISTENCYThis is being predictable in your love and effort, doing good things for your spouse, not because that is what your spouse wants you to do, but that is what you have chosen to do in all seasons. This is not withholding your affection just because you are not getting what you want. This is not doing or saying nice things in the heat of the moment or when you two are solving things, then reverting back to no effort."
"2. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE This is regulating one's emotions and not allowing the emotions to make one overreact, give silent treatment, escalate tension, insult or do irrational things. This is taking charge of one's emotions so that the marriage doesn't sink because of feelings that come and go. 3. THOUGHTFULNESSThis is paying attention to your spouse's detail. Listening. Being sensitive to the needs of your spouse, not just your own."
