happy marriages

Remember happy marriages are not made in heaven. U have to work towards it and make it happy. U have to nurture and care for your relationship like a tender plant. The more u give to the relationship, the better results u can expect.

The recipe for a happy marriage is simple. You and your partner must practice -The Three important C's - Commitment, Companionship, and Communication.

Here are some simple steps to follow to make your marriage work :

Say "I Love You" as often as u can. It really works wonders.
Respect eachother and eachother's feelings.
Trust your partner. Don't let misunderstandings creep into your relationship.
Exchange gifts for no reason once in a few days. It shows u really care.
Never yell or shout at eachother . Learn to explain your feelings decently.
If there is an argument, try to sort out your problems by talking openly to eachother. Don't hide your feelings. If u don't, u will end up filling your heart with bad feelings that may burst some day. Not literally though. It means it will destroy your relationship in the long run.
Spend as much time as u can with your partner. Share your little joys, your problems etc.
If you have to criticize eachother, do it lovingly.
Try to go out together atleast once in a week. U may go to a restaurant, or to a park or just on a long drive. If you have small kids, leave them behind with a friend, family or a babysitter.
Don't ever take each other for granted. Be generous with compliments like "You are beautiful"," you are great", "Hi Handsome" etc.
Show affection by being liberal with your hugs and kisses. These small actions show the love inside you.
Always show tender love and care to your partner. Remember nothing is more soothing than a tender touch.
If there's something wrong in your relationship, don't try to change your partner. Change yourself and see what went wrong. If u have to explain something to your partner, do it with love, not by shouting. Communication is the key to any problem.
Be your partner's closest and best friend. And that greatly benefits your relationship , even after many years of marriage. Develop mutual interest in a game or something and play it.
Even if u have children , look for ways to have companionship. U can also include your children in your outings and still enjoy each other's companionship. It helps your family to bond together.
Make it a point to have dinner together everyday and speak about your day's experiences.
Be committed and loyal to eachother. Don't ever ditch or betray your partner. Afterall it takes a lot to trust eachother.
Have sex atleast once in a week . Try to surprise your spouse by doing something new and unexpected.
When arguing, never bring up issues from the past. Discuss the current subject at a time.
When you make a mistake, admit it and ask for forgiveness. Similarly forgive your partner when he/she makes a mistake.
Create fun evenings together, play games or read comics together.
Forget your ego. Give more importance to your partner.
