Falling in love is a good thing but you'll agree that getting married feels great too!. After all the failed relationships, 'heartbreaks' and all sorts of emotional abuse, meeting that 'one' person that takes your breath away is truly a blessing.
Spending the rest of your life with one person sounds exciting but it comes with a lot of challenges.
Below are few ways to maintain the excitement and love in your marriage.
1. Praise - Remember to always compliment your spouse, look out for what made you fall in love with them in the first place and always make an effort to tell them how well you appreciate them.
2. Compromise - No one is perfect and there's no perfect relationship but endeavour to always put their feelings and demands into consideration. It's no longer just about you, it's now about 'US'.
3. Communication - Communication is key. Ensure to always discuss your feelings, thoughts, fears, and heart desire to your partner.
4. Respect - This is essential, you can't love someone and not respect them. Respect their opinions and their entire being.
5. Be Supportive - Your partner is definitely your backbone, be their number one fan in anything and everything they do.
6. Focus on the positive - In order to stay happy, focusing on the positive is the way to go. Don't consider how bad the situation is, just be hopeful that the best is yet to come.
7. Maintain your friendship - Marrying your best friend creates a special bond between the both of you which is vital for any successful relationship.
8. Forgiveness - This is absolutely important, having a grudge with your partner often leads to something ugly.
9. Trust - This speaks for itself because no relationship weathers the storm without trust. In order to have a long successful marriage, endeavour to believe in your partner.
10. Intimacy- Ensure that you satisfy each other's needs.
In the end, there is no guide to a perfect relationship or marriage, it all depends on the both of you. If you truly love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them, then create your bond.
