One of the most important things you can do to improve your marriage is to have admiration for each other. In contrast, if one does not feel admired and appreciated that will reflect negatively in the way they treat each other.
Gordon B. Hinckley said, “Companionship in marriage is prone to become commonplace and even dull. I know of no more certain way to keep it on a lofty and inspiring plane than for a man occasionally to reflect upon the fact that the helpmeet who stands at his side is a daughter of God, engaged with [God] in the great creative process of bringing to pass His eternal purposes. I know of no more effective way for a woman to keep ever radiant the love for her husband than for her to look for and emphasize the godly qualities that are a part of every son of our Father and that can be evoked when there is respect and admiration and encouragement. The very processes of such actions will cultivate a constantly rewarding appreciation for one another”.
Some people in a marriage might think that because they are bored in a marriage it means that there is not the same love as once was there when they first married. This is not so. Rather, we should each strive to find that same admiration we had for our spouse when we first fell in love. This will strengthen our marriage.
