People marry for many reasons, most often including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economic, spiritual, and religious. These might include arranged marriages, family obligations, and the establishment of a family unit, the legal protection of children and public declaration of love. Here’s my take to make sure your marriage is a happy one.
- Being mentally prepared to make adjustments with each other regarding various issues in life. In order to have an even-tempered life, we must be mentally prepared before the married life begins. Pre-marital talk is a very good idea where the couple can discuss discrepant areas such as varied economic/social backgrounds etc
- Communication is the most essential part of a relationship
- Compromise& Cooperation – making steps towards each other in fiddly conditions ....When there is love one doesn’t feel it’s a compromise, and then it’s just a step towards making each other cheerier!
- Having admiration & respect towards each other. It’s essential to respect each other’s social, economic, cultural, physical, emotional differences. Respecting your partner especially during fights. Strict no to unmannerly language. Even respecting the way another person has been brought up or how their parenting styles have been.
- Space- Giving some time off from each other without any whinges or peevish. Each one of us needs some –me only–time which is required for one’s personal, physical & spiritual growth. So giving time off to each other to visit parents by themselves or visit friend
- Learning to agree to disagree- having respect for each other even after and while disagreeing with each other is important. Talking out issues is essential and not fighting back with rude statements. Healthy arguments help us learn & move fwd.
- Usually, the usual schedules lead to a very monotonous life making either or both feel stifled in the relationship. Breaking this fixed schedule and involving in activities together such as more time spent with each other, planning a vacation, candlelight dinners, adventure activities etc. Will rejuvenate both.
