Murugi Munyi shares 3 phrases that save marriages and cement love

Digital content creator and budding entrepreneur Murugi Munyi has shared the importance of courtesy in relationships.

Murugi maintains courtesy can save a dying relationship in ways people wouldn’t expect.

According to the TMI podcast co-host, showing appreciation and politely asking your partner for things politely really helps propel the union and cement things firmly.

A piece of advice that my mom gave us when we were younger and has stuck with me through out my life is that there are 3 phrases that will take you very far.These are, ‘please, I’m sorry and thank you,’ firmly stated the mother of 3.

Murugi went on to argue about the importance of adding please to sentences when asking your partner to do something as simple as picking up the kids as well as thanking them for everyday things even though they’re used to doing them.

“These phrases are more essential in marriages and long term relationships and the only reason I am saying this is because I am in one,” the entrepreneur added.

Highlighting ways she incorporates the 3 phrases in her marriage and the difference she has seen in said relationship due to carrying forth her mom’s advice Murugi stated;

“I have recognized when you live with someone for a long time sometimes it is easy to take for granted things they do for you thus you stop treating them like you’d treat any ordinary human being that you met today.

When it comes to our spouses sometimes it can be so easy to forget to say those 3 things which in turn weakens the fabric of your relationship,”

Finishing up the content creator reaffirmed the importance of keeping in mind spouses have boundaries as well noting something as simple as using your partners car without notifying them in advance warrants one to make an apology.

“Learn to say thank you even for the basic things. As well as saying please not just, ‘na ulisema utafanya xyz’ no it should be, ‘please do you mind doing this and that for me’Just the basic things.

Sometimes you think your relationship is failing but just start saying please, sorry and thank you and just see how better it will be,” the mother of 3 said
