7 Ways to Infuse Your Marriage
December 19th, 2009
Remember when you first dreamt about get married? Of course, marriage is wonderful… but not all of the time. There will be times when marriage will seem like hard work, and there may even be times when parting will look like a less painful option. A marriage can have its ups and downs. A successful marriage is only possible if both parties are willing to work at it.
Has your marriage gone stale? Have you stopped spending the time that is necessary to cultivate a relationship that is fulfilling? Below are 7 tips that could help make your marriage go from boring to infinitely fascinating.
1. Forgive and Forget.
Give some and take some are the flip sides of marriage coin. So every time you toss, you cannot be a winner. Remember if there were no losers, there would not be any winners, either. Give loser the credit for being a support. And if you think you are a better player of the game of life, share some of your expertise with the other party.
2. Nurture Your Love and Intimacy.
Today is another day of celebrating life. Love and shove and be intimate. Every blooming marital relationship has togetherness at its core. Do not be afraid to explore and discover each other’s body and soul. You never know what you have been missing. Find out what makes the sparks fly in the bedroom, and rinse and repeat.
3. Demonstrate Your Love and Honesty.
Taking each other for granted is a sure shot recipe to end a marriage. If you love and respect your partner, a thank you or sorry will certainly keep discord at bay. Whenever possible express your appreciation for the petty things you do for each other. And if you find something annoying express that too.
4. Laugh and Let Laugh.
The rigors of our daily life has made us fine human machines. We do not have time to breathe, leave alone laugh. Sharing a joke or one liner will certainly bracket us back as human beings. If you laugh, the world laughs with you.
5. Let them Know.
It indeed is a good idea to vent your feelings about everything on a regular basis. That is the only way to improvise and evolve. Keeping everything to yourself will create resentment. While unbosoming yourself, be wary of time, place, and manner.
6. Decide Things Together.
Investments, education, health care are important issues, and so are sharing and execution of domestic chores. If all concerned take unified decisions, there will be no room for fuming and fretting. Because all are affected by such decisions, it makes sense, therefore, that all sit together and thrash out decisions that benefits all.
7. Do not Forget the Simple, Small Things.
Thank you for being there, I appreciate your providence, and I love you are some of the petty yet powerful gems out of a wife’s mouth that win a husband’s commitment and keep him glued. At the same time, if a husband is sensitive enough to appreciate his wife’s contribution to the welfare of the family, he is ensuring that they will remain together through thick-an-thin.
Being married is not always easy – especially in our society where so many marriages fail. But as long as both partners know that they have each other to hold on to, it should be a rewarding relationship. Be there for each other, “for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and til death do us part”.
