All couples go through some periods during their relationships when there is a question as to their commitment and the strength of their bond. For many, the home becomes one of the tension points in the relationships, because of the various chores and duties that must be performed on a daily and weekly basis. While there is no cure for chores, there are ways that you can incorporate feng shui concepts into the home to help make it a more harmonious space. Relationships cannot be fixed with feng shui but the ideas below can help take care of some of the feelings of stress that a non feng shui home can provide.
Clean House
Feng shui experts time and time again reiterate the fact that clutter is a defining aspect of a spaces energy. When you are trying to create a home for a healthy marriage, it is especially important to clear out the old energy and welcome in the energy of a healthy environment. Start with the areas that you frequent the most and give them a thorough cleaning. The entryway, the living room, the kitchen, the master bedroom, and the bathroom are great places to start. Tackle each space, one at a time, and clean out the clutter that has taken hold of your life. Be particularly mindful of clearing out the things that both partners do not agree on. For example, if there is a large floral wreath in the living room that the husband despises, donate it or throw it away. Likewise, if there is a neon beer sign in the kitchen that the wife cannot stand, sell it or donate it to charity. The key to clearing out the clutter is to create a space that both people can enjoy and that is filled with things that they love together. This will be, by far, the biggest part of the project, but truly the one that has the most impact.
Two-by-Two
It is also a good idea to take a look at the items in your house and see whether they are in pairs, triples, or singles. Things that are in pairs have a better, more positive, feng shui aspect for married couples than things that are in odd numbered sets. For instance, a trio of candles does not have nearly the same feel or impact as a pair of long tapers. A pair of matching end tables looks and feels a lot better than two distinctly different pieces. Visually, it is important to create a bond between the furniture and accessory pieces that are in the space. Not only will your home looked neater, but it will give a clear indication that there is a pair of people living in the space versus two mismatched people.
Feng shui principles may not be able to solve marital problems alone, but they can go a long way toward creating a more pleasing space. It can mean the difference between feeling comfortable in the room and feeling out of place. Not only will the house feel better after using the simple tips above, but by working together to create a better space, the marriage will be even stronger.
