10 Tips For A Happy Marriage
6. Trust him and be trustworthy
Most relationships turn sour because both partners start losing trust in each other. Apart from love, it is trust that binds two people together. Hence, it essential to trust your partner and make sure, he trusts you. Just like you would not want him to get up, close and personal with your girlies, so does he. So, always make sure you do not cross the limit.
7. Adjust a bit
Adjustments are the foundation stones to a successful marriage. No matter how much you love a person, you will take time to get tuned to his likes, dislikes, habits and attitude. So, if you want to make your marriage successful, you have to adjust to your husband. Say, he likes to listen to music before going to sleep. Don’t complain that you need silence to sleep, instead start getting tuned to the music and think of it as white noise. This compromising attitude of yours will work wonders; trust us.
8. Divide responsibilities
For marriage to survive, it is essential to take ground realities into account first. By ground realities, we mean, household chores, shopping, finances and the likes. These are things which can’t be done single-handedly. If the balance tilts to one side, it will develop cracks in the relationship. Hence, you must divide responsibilities and mind you, make clear demarcations. For example, the cooking and shopping will be done by you while your husband attends to the laundry and the finances, so on and so forth.
9. Spend time together
As mentioned earlier, marriages lose their charm with time. To keep the spark alive, you must spend time together and create beautiful memories together. Go for a date at least once month and plan getaways every 6 months. These dates and trips will give you the required break and also let you discover each other anew.
10. Respect his privacy
Last but not the least, always respect your husband’s privacy. If he does not want to reveal something to you, don’t force him to reveal the same or stalk him. Don’t check his emails or his messages when you get his phone. His privacy is as much important as is yours. Such a behavior can create misunderstandings as also lead to rifts and eventual divorce.
Marriage is the most blissful out of all the phases of life. If you nurture it in the right way, it is possible to have this phase all through your life. When you grow old and you sit with your husband on a bench in a park, reminiscing about your past, you’ll feel glad you made your marriage work!
