TIPS FOR A GREAT MARRIED LIFE
Marriage is the beautiful culmination of true love and seals
the emotions of the lovers by enclosing them into a stronger and more
fulfilling relationship. Marriage is a total acceptance of each other’s emotions,
feelings, and habits. It is a divine celebration of the physical and emotional
union of two souls in love with each other.
Marriage does have its own challenges, but if you follow some basic rules, it can indeed be an enriching experience.
With attention comes understanding
In a marriage, understanding and responding to non-verbal communication is more important. You must look into your partner's eyes and listen attentively for catching the non-verbal communication signals and respond accordingly.
Always agreeing on everything can be dicey
We all have our own individual thought process which shapes our opinions on different issues. Agreeing to smilingly disagree on some issues is a sign of a healthy understanding between married couples.
Continue your romantic liaisons like earlier
Even though you’re a married couple now, what stops you from
doing what you both used to do as lovers? Go on regular dates with each other
to keep the courtship romance alive and kicking. Gift each other flowers, write
mushy love notes, all without a reason.
Physical happiness is equally important
While the emotional equation between married couples is the
foundation for a happy married life, physical intimacy also plays an important
role. You must make it a point to continuously keep the physical intimacy alive
by innovating your private moments.
Small compliments matter big
Always remember to compliment your partner on even a small personal or professional achievement, such as losing some weight or a congratulatory note in the office. Marriage therapists say that complimenting each other on small achievements creates magic moments and strengthens the marriage.
Fairy tales are for fantasies
Expecting your marriage to be the proverbial “fairy tale”
alliance is taking things a bit too far and will soon result in minor
disappointments when expectations are not met. Get real and rationalize your
expectations from each other.
Issuing threats always make you regret later
Every couple goes through the pangs of arguments in their
married life. To some extent, this is normal and should not be a cause for
concern, unless it escalates. However, you must never ever issue any threats of
“leaving” or “separation”, as they will haunt you even after you both have made
up and are back to normal.
Give yourselves some space
When you are continuously getting into each other’s way,
sparks are bound to fly. What you need to do is give each other their own
space, so that the friction between you both is minimized to an almost
non-existent level.
Acceptance will enrich your marriage
Both partners should have the courage to accept those
things about one another that they cannot change. This is the hallmark of a
truly evolved marriage and will enable you both to extract the most out of your
sacred union.
