Marriage is one such decision which changes the lives of two individuals at once. You are making a lifetime promise to someone to be there through thick and thin, high and low, sharing ups and downs till death separate you both. Keeping happy marriage requires constant efforts by both partners as it’s not going to be easy to have a healthy relationship. Though you need love, understanding, loyalty, and care from your partner for pursuing happiness in marriage, still there are few rules which will lead you to enjoy marriage to the fullest no matter how much you hate your partner for having a weird habit.
• Never both be angry at the same time
There will be few things which will badly affect you but instead of getting angry and proving your point, be calm and try to sort out the difference politely. If your partner is angry with you, don’t be rebellious and become more arrogant.
• Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire
No matter whether a situation is getting worse or you two are unable to deal with it. Don’t yell at each other. You and your partner will get out of it but it’s not right to blame another one for the bad things and start screaming as it would make situation unfavorable.
• If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate
Marriage is not all about fighting and winning the argument by proving the other one wrong. Remember a moment of anger can spoil your relationship. Arguments are good if they are happening to find the solution. Stop arguing if it is leading to prove yourself right. Try to understand your partner’s feelings.
• If you must criticize, do it lovingly
No one is perfect neither you nor your partner. Then why to demand perfection which is truly an unrealistic thing to expect. It’s obvious you won’t like few things about your life partner but say it lovingly. You must know the way how to criticize someone. When you say something will love, things become better.
• Never bring up the mistakes of the past
Everyone commits mistakes knowingly or unknowingly, so have you. keep it in your heart that whenever you are fighting don’t bring your partner’s past mistake. they have been sorry and felt guilty for the things. don’t let them feel a criminal. if you have something related to it in your mind, say it at that time. Never forget this ultimate rule for having a happy marriage life.
• Neglect the whole world rather than each other
It’s your relationship. You love your partner. He/she is the same person without whom you can’t live or can’t think of a better life as that person is your true source of happiness and your priority. Don’t perform a mistake of neglecting the one you love with all your heart. You know in the end you with be together by complaining and forgiving than why give more preference to a small dispute than your love.
• Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled
Getting more love with the person you love is something you can’t describe in words even if you write thousands of mail to him/her to show your love. Conflicts are good as they show much you love and care for that person that even her unintentional ignorance affects you but don’t let the seeds of misunderstanding grows in your soul. No matter you fight for a whole day, say sorry, settle the argument and never go to sleep with a heavy heart.
At least once every day say a kind or complimentary word to your life partner
Your life partner who loves you and whom you love deeply must know that he/she is being appreciated to be in your life. Remember it for the whole life that you both share same lives, neither your life is anything without him nor his/her. Say lovable words to your partner. Say i love you even if you want to say it thousand times. It doesn’t sound cheesy as you can feel it in your partner’s eyes (the way her eyes lighten up).
• When you have done something wrong, admit it and ask for forgiveness
It is natural to commit mistake and but never end things on an ugly note to curse yourself later. As soon as you realize your mistake, accept it, and ask for forgiveness because He/she is your person, and he can’t afford to lose you over a bad happening. Also Realising is not enough unless you try to stick to your promise for a happy married life.
• Resolve the matter rather than losing your partner for life
Remember it takes two to make a quarrel. And the one is the wrong is the one who does the most talking. When one of you do something terribly wrong, you need to admit that you’ve done it, ask for an apology and resolve the matter as early as possible. Hug your partner, show you love them, after fighting as they are emotionally weak during those phases and don’t hold any grudges in your heart.
Cherish your partner. Fights, misunderstandings, and conflicts are all part of life. Too much of sweetness in your relationship can be hard to digest. Sail together through all odds, grow together, appreciate each other.. make memories to remember for a lifetime. However, a happy marriage does not just depend on these 10 rules. Your understanding, your words, and feelings should be true and deep for that person.
