Are you making time for your marriage?Written by Stephanie Foster

4. Take time to listen. Make sure you know what is going on in your spouse's life. Emotional support is utterly vital in a good marriage. 5. Get time away from kids together. It doesn't matter if it's for an hour or a few days, just do it. You need to remind yourselves what you mean to each other, and to just relax in each other's company. No need for fancy plans, dinner and a movie or even just a walk will do. Try for at least once a month, better yet, once a week. 6. If you work from home, don't let your job or business run your entire life. Keep a schedule, just as you would at a traditional job. It's easy to let these things get out of hand, but remember why you're working from home in first place and keep your priorities straight.A good marriage is one of best things in life. Don't take it for granted. You'll be giving yourself and your family a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Another way to help is to volunteer. Homeless shelters and battered women's shelters can always use help. Many battered women have nothing but clothes on their backs, and desperately need all kinds of supplies. If you would like to help, check http://www.katesfeminist.info/dv/help/a-m.html for a list of some shelters nationwide. Homeless families may have little more. For more information, check with your local homeless shelters or with Red Cross at http://www.redcross.org/donate/volunteer/. These are all people who, without help, will miss out on even smallest parts of this holiday season. Taking time to show your children that you care about world you live in is a lesson they will never forget, and remind them of true meaning of holidays. Whether you donate goods, money or time, you will make a difference in your children's lives and lives of those in need.
