There are many couples who, after 10-15 years of marriage, have managed to stay together, happy and satisfied. But what is the key to a happy marriage? We have selected some tips that will help your marriage last as long as life itself…
Be yourself at the beginning of the relationship: If you start the relationship with an unrealistic presentation of yourself, what will happen when the truth comes out? Be yourself from day one, so that your partner accepts and loves you for who you are, not for what you believe you are.
Exercise your sense of humor: A strong sense of humor is necessary to have a happy marriage. Try to bring out humor even in unpleasant situations. It will help you get through difficult times.
Forgive, forgive, forgive: Forgiveness is the most important word for a healthy marriage. You have built a relationship based on trust. Don’t assume that your partner does things with the sole purpose of annoying you. Maybe he just doesn’t realize that the things he does annoy you. Let them know what bothers you, without thinking badly about it. When you clarify, give your partner time to correct himself.
Don’t get angry over small things: Ask yourself, is it worth fighting over small things? Did he act wrong or would you have done it differently? Let there be differences between you without turning them into important issues. If something really bothers you, talk about it without accusing and take the lead in the conversation without arguing.
Share responsibilities: If you both work 80 hours a week, why should you be the one who has to cook and clean? Find work together that suits both of you, for example washing the dishes or taking out the trash. Find ways to create a routine where you both get involved in household chores. If you wash the dishes, your partner wipes them. This will avoid the “chattering housewife” syndrome around the house. Keep in mind that you have to live together for life (until death do you part), so save yourself for the future. The world won’t turn upside down if you don’t wash all the clothes in one day.
