Do you remember when you first thought of getting married? A marriage is wonderful... but not all the time. There are times when marriage seems an uphill task. And there may even be times when separation appears to be the only viable option. A marriage has its ups and downs. A successful marriage is only possible if both parties are willing to put in their best.
Has your marriage gone stale? Have you stopped spending the time that is necessary to cultivate a relationship that is fulfilling? Below are 7 tips that could help make your marriage go from boring to infinitely fascinating.
1. Forgive and Forget.
Disagreements are only natural in any relationship. Wherever there are two people living in close proximity there are bound to be times when they disagree. Learning to forgive and forget is vital if they are to prevent bitterness from seeping in. People make mistakes and do stupid things. We need to be quick to say sorry, and quick to forgive. Married couples must never harbor grudges.
2. Be Loving and Intimate.
Take each day as beginning of discovering a new dimension to your relationship. Love and intimacy thrive where there is complete surrender to each other. Reveal and find out what turns you on. The fun in the bedroom speaks volumes of relationship you are having with your spouse. Deeper knowledge of one another's body and soul has its own rewards.
3. Be Respectful and Honest.
Do not take one another for granted. Learn to say thank you. Express your appreciation for the things your spouse does for you. Tell the truth. If there is a problem talk about it, don't bottle it up. Couples who face their problems and talk things through are the ones that are most likely to build a strong, loving relationship.
4. Laugh and Let Laugh.
The rigors of our daily life has made us fine human machines. We do not have time to breathe, leave alone laugh. Sharing a joke or one liner will certainly bracket us back as human beings. If you laugh, the world laughs with you.
5. Communicate Regularly.
It may seem obvious, but good communication is the key to a fulfilling relationship. If the wife is feeling upset by something her husband has said or done she should tell him right away. She should not assume that he will guess what is wrong. What may be obvious to her, may not be obvious to him! Husbands too need to be more forthcoming in sharing what is on their minds. Good communication is vital.
6. Take Decisions Together.
Investments, education, health care are important issues, and so are sharing and execution of domestic chores. If all concerned take unified decisions, there will be no room for fuming and fretting. Because all are affected by such decisions, it makes sense, therefore, that all sit together and thrash out decisions that benefits all.
7. Do not Forget the Simple Things.
Husbands need to remember to compliment their wives. Don't forget to praise her for a job well done. Buy her flowers. Take her out for a romantic meal. Tell her how beautiful she is. Make her feel like she is your princess. Wives should also be attentive to their husband's needs. Enjoy each other's company. Showing affection for one another is essential.
It is easy to enter wedlock. It is still reasonably easy to get out of it. It, however, requires guts and grit to stay married. Just be appreciative, communicative, and responsive. Marital bliss will never leave your family.
