Today’s guest blogger will talk us through hot to be Successful in Marriage
“In this day and age, successful marriages are few and far between. Divorce rates are through the roof and this makes the value of a healthy marriage all the higher. In that light I’d like to offer some pointers on how a couple can try to make sure their marriage stays strong for decades, because if the relationship is to be considered a successful one, it has to have stood the test of time.
Pointer 1. Always consider your partners feelings before taking any drastic action
A lot of Marriages break down because one partner does something that they feel they want or need to do, without first considering how that might impact the other person. Feelings can be hurt badly this way and it can at worst lead to separation. Of course, being in a situation where you broke up with your partner is not one that you want to encounter. For that reason it is important to always think first. Being considerate is a big boost to any relationship.
Pointer 2. Share the responsibilities that you both have
Life is so much easier when you work together. Many things that would be stressful and overwhelming if done alone, can be made extremely straightforward if a second pair of hands is present. You can do things together or take things in turns, where 1 of you does a task and the other person gets the day off. Like picking up the kids from school for example. It is one of those tasks where both partner’s lives can be made much easier simply by sharing that responsibility. And of course if there is a vibe of team work running through your marriage, this will only give relationship satisfaction a healthy boost!
Pointer 3. Spend time away from home together
A lot of couples claim that they are too busy to spend time taking vacations together. It’s true that we are all busy, but we set our own priorities. Spending time together as a couple, away from your standard home environment, can bring a sense of freshness to a marriage in a way that not many other actions can. Often it can be just 1 out of the 2 partners who claims to be busy all the time, and this causes the other partner to build up resentment. You cannot have a healthy marriage if your spouse hates you, and that is why it is great to get away from it all and spend time together.
