A Marriage in order to succeed requires a lot of patience and efforts to make it work. When two people live under the same roof there are bound to be troubles and problems but it is not difficult to maintain a happy and harmonious relationship between the two. Here are some things to do in order to maintain a good, successful and long lasting relationship between couples.
Be Realistic: Many Couples enter into marriage with unrealistic expectations. Life is not a bed of roses as most of us imagine. Have a clear understanding of what to and what not to expect from your marriage. Talk with your would be in advance to know and communicate your expectations from the marriage so that there won't be any misunderstandings later. The more realistic you are the happier you would be in your marriage.
Show Love and Appreciation: Life can be hectic at times, but when you have the love and support of your partner it becomes more easy to face even the tough conditions. Never let your spouse feel unloved or not appreciated. Do not withhold your love, affection and physical touch from your partner. How much ever busy you are at least you can find time for a quick peck, a hug or a quick phone call to your loved one. The more you make efforts to make your partner feel important and special the more happy you would be.
Respect your Spouse: Many times couples take each other for granted which can kill a relationship. Don't keep nagging your partner to do things the way you want to. There is a saying 'give respect and get respect'. If you want your friends or children to show respect to your partner it is important that you show respect too. Be respectful to your partner and his feelings and in turn you would get the respect you deserve.
Resolve Fights and Arguments fast: One of the major reasons causing couples to drift apart is leaving fights or arguments unattended. It is quite natural that a couple may have indifferences but resolve the same immediately. Do not hesitate to say a sorry if you have made a mistake and make amends so that it would not happen again. Do not bring old issues which have been resolved when you are having a fight.
Good Communication: Good Communication is the key to a happy marriage. Never let marital boredom creep in your relationship. Talk to each other as much as you can and gain a better understanding of each other. This way you can avoid misunderstandings. It would be a good idea to devote at least one day in a week that you will devote just for the two of you. Spending Holidays together at least once in a year would be a great idea to improve your communication level better.
Be Faithful to your Spouse: There can be temptations, but if you respect the commitment made to your spouse by staying faithful and not betray their trust by cheating on them you are likely to be rewarded by his loyalty and trust too. This is one of the most essential ingredients to make a marriage work.
Make Compromises: You can't get everything you want. You need to make some compromises at some point in life for the sake of your partner in order to make your relationship work.
Plan Surprises: Plan Surprises for your Partner and it would make them feel happy and valued. Never forget an important day for you or your partner as it gives you an opportunity to celebrate together.
Transparency and Truthfulness: Maintain a transparency and truthfulness in whatever you do. Never hide or lie to your partner. It is okay if you have friends of the opposite sex but make sure that your spouse knows about them. Introduce your spouse to them or better meet them in the company of your spouse. This can increase the trust factor in your relationship.
Keeping the above points in mind and implementing them in your marriage can make your it a lasting and successful one.
