WriteTribe: Keys to a happy marriage

In a marriage, some trivial things become very important to make the relationship strong.

Trust: As said by everyone, trust makes a relationship strong. True, but what if, one person in the relation is the insecure one.
Then the other has to build the trust. They have to keep reassuring to keep their partner feeling secure.
It might be annoying, but like I said. marriage is not a bed of roses, but it is a garden that needs nurturing.
If the insecure partner is not able to accept certain friendship, try to reduce the contact, chats, messages with that person.
If the insecure partner, is not able to accept certain relatives, sit with them, talk it out, be with them in any social gathering where that relative is also involved.
Id the insecure partner, is not comfortable with any particular colleague, as far as possible avoid conversations about that person. Try not to reply, to that colleague when you are with your partner.
Eventually, a year or 2 down the line, when the marriage is strong. All these instances wouldn't matter.

"I Love you" In a marriage, these 2 small words do play a big role. Saying "I love you" regularly and meaning it may bring a smile on your partners face. It make make them feel that "yes, I have someone who cares, who loves, who will be there for me"

Holding hands: "It is said that a touch can heal a 1000 scars on the soul." Imagine what a touch can do to a person whom you love and who loves you back.

Smile, Laugh more often, not only that it is good for a relationship, it also good for yourself.
If you are happy, you can make your partner happy in turn makes your relationship happy that makes your life happy.
Woow, so much happiness
Also, these moments that make you smile will be memories to talk about in the years to come

Fight, it may sound weird, but couples do fight, actually fight a lot. That doesn't mean a couple should have an abusive war. But, some fights are healthy. Every person is an individual and is entitled for an opinion. And not all opinions have to be in sync.Misunderstandings are normal. talking it out, Arguing is a form of understanding each other and partners preferences. That does make a relation strong.

Love, keep this feeling alive. You are married, so what? surprise your partner with a date, an unexpected gift, flowers, or even a small peck.
Love is ultimately the reason that a couple is together, Right?

Small Moments

Romance is not about showering each other with gifts. Its not even about romantic dinners, flowers etc.

A romance for a lifetime is made of small moments like

When he hugs you from behind while you are cooking

When he kisses you on your forehead for no reason

When you have a nice meaningful conversation at the dinner table

When you stand at the balcony, holding hands and saying nothing, just happy to be with each other

When she makes you breakfast inspite of being tired, just to see you smile

When you share a laugh over a silly joke

When you dance together for no occasion per say

When you sing lodly without caring about the world

When you hug each other

When you are there when any one of you is low

When you both are tired, fall into the bed, say that small "Good night"

When you plan months ahead to make their birthday's special

When you help each other in house work

When you see old pictures and laugh over the moments

When he opens a tight jar for you

When he asks you to take rest because you have worked too much

When you hug and sleep

When he puts a warm blanket over you, coz you are cold

When she hugs you during a thunder

When you pursue your own hobbies and still love each others work

When you are watching a movie and so engrossed in it that both do not boher with dishes, but do it later together

When you share an icecream

When even their groggy early morning look, looks cute

When he lets you sleep-in , wakes up before you and wakes you up with a kiss

Something's in life money cant buy. One of those things is love from the person you love

Old Couples

When I see an old couple, even for that matter my parents and in-laws, if gives me this happy-warm feeling inside.

Two people, unknown to each other, together for so many years in spite of so many differences. Its just amazing.

They have and are, actually following their marriage vows.

They stand by each other in thick and thin
They share sorrows, happiness, smiles, tears
They help each other in every possible way
They have unconditionally loved each other for so many years
They have been an emotional pillar for each other
They have mentally, taken care of each other. Hugged each other when required
They have supported each other financially
They have grown together
They have fought, kissed and made up

Now, in the fast-food days, we need everything this instant. If something is wrong in the relationship, instead of understanding, adjusting, compromising and talking it out, we end up breaking the relationship.
That is exactly why divorces these days have become very common.

I want a marriage like the old couple. I want the time when Marriage was for keeps

"Its easy to break a marriage, it takes effort to keep it going strong"
