“Marriage”, a word which gives a sleepless night to some people, while a beam of immense pleasure for others. Everyone is familiar with this word. Happiness in marriage depends on both the partners. It’s a lifelong journey of couples who are meant to be the ones who go through everything that’s designed to tear them apart and come out even stronger.

Success in marriage is the sum of small efforts, focused on showing love and appreciation, repeated every day. It’s a companionship between two people who become a team and who’re going to spend the rest of their life learning about each other, and every now and then, things could blow up. But the beauty of marriage is that if you picked the right person and both of you love each other blindly, you’ll always figure out a way to get through it.

Love, in a marriage, is not only about giving the lovely name like love, honey, sweetheart… rather it’s hard work, trust, respect, and tears with even a glimpse of devastation. Feel yourself blessed and thank your stars at the end of each day, if you have your partner supporting you and holding you firm even after fights, arguments, troubles, ups, and downs. Do continue efforts to make your partner feel loved.

The real act of marriage between two people takes place in the heart, not in the marriage hall, wedding venue, temple or synagogue. It’s a choice you make yourself, not just on your wedding day, but over and over again till your last breath. And that choice is reflected in the way you treat your partner.

A successful marriage is built daily and not on some particular day. Your children are watching your marriage. Be mindful and set a good example for them to model in their future marriage.

And there is a saying, “a strong marriage requires loving your spouse even in those moments when they aren’t being lovable; it means believing in them even when they struggle to believe in themselves.”

Enjoy every moment. It’s a roller coaster ride where you have to play the best act of your life with pure heart.
