Top 15 Tips for Marital Bliss
While most relationships seem like a blessing in their initial stage, things often turn the other way after a few years, especially in a marriage. Yet, this does not mean that it is impossible to have a happy married life. We know this because we do see some elderly couples who have been married for over 25 or 30 years now and yet they are deep in love up to this day. So what is there secret? There isn’t really any secret as such, but some simple guidelines. So, here are the top 15 tips for marital bliss.
1. Be kind
While this may sound extremely obvious to you right now, it is what most people miss out during the tense moments. Couples do fall into arguments, but that does not imply that you have to be extremely mean and hurt the other person’s feelings. Always be kind, especially in your words and tone.
2. Have a sense of humor
The most tense of situations can be diluted with a little sense of humor. Always have a good presence of mind and bring in some humor whenever an argument gets too heated.
3. Have faith
Trust is the most basic and essential pillar of any relationship. Always have faith in your spouse and trust what he says; unless you find some solid evidence that proves him guilty of something. Unnecessary doubting will only drift you further apart.
4. Forgive and forget
People make mistakes, but every person deserves a second chance to rectify that mistake. We often do forgive our spouse but cannot forget it, which makes us bring up the same topic again and again. Don’t let that happen in your case. If you are forgiving him for something, forget it completely and never bring that up again.
5. Have bitter talks before marriage
The more bitter talks you have before marriage, the happier will you be after marriage. If you don’t like certain habits of the guy, talk it all out before marriage. Don’t wait to get married and then try to change him, especially by yelling. This will never work. Once you’ve accepted him for as he is, know that this is your lifetime commitment.
6. Be flexible
Have flexibility in every aspect of your marriage. Being rigid all the time can get your spouse irritated as well as make your life extremely monotonous. Don’t try to rule your married life with some strict set of rules. Instead, explore the infinite possibilities that you have as a couple and enjoy life.
7. Avoid rumors
People love to gossip about other’s lives, but that is how people are. Do not pay much heed to any rumor that you hear about your husband. Yet, if you think something is worth discussing, confront your husband directly and know the real story. But make sure that you do so in a polite and gentle manner.
8. Give each other time even after having kids
Many a times, a couple loses their romance after having a child. This is mostly because they are so busy taking care of the child that they forget to give any time to each other. Don’t make the same mistake. Kids will only grow up happy if they see their parents happy. Hence, always take out some time everyday to spend with your spouse.
