10 TRUTHS THAT WOULD SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE FROM DIVORCE

A lot of single people envy married people and want to get married, and a lot of married people enjoy the freedom of single people; that’s the irony of life, but that irony runs down to the fact that people don’t understand the enormity of getting married.

Getting married doesn’t just end at having a fancy wedding and having beautiful kids while leaving the rest of your life in paradise. No! Getting married is like planting a flower; to keep that flower in shape, you have to water it and trim the rough edges frequently. The water is the work you put in to make your marriage better, and the rough edges are the bad habits and things that can harm your marriage that you have to put away to make your marriage better.

These are some truths about marriage you ought to know if you truly want a beautiful marriage.

1. IF YOU DON’T HAVE TOLERANCE, YOU AREN’T READY FOR MARRIAGE

A lack of tolerance is the major reason why couples fight frequently. Sometimes, it isn’t just a lack of understanding but a lack of tolerance. Tolerance is highly important if you want a successful marriage; tolerance would make you and your partner live in peace and harmony irrespective of your flaws.

2. COMMUNICATION IS THE BEDROCK OF A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Partners who communicate regularly with each other live happily together. A lot of couples don’t know this, a lack of communication would lead to so many problems in your marriage; sex, money problems and lack of intimacy are three things many couples complain about but they can all be solved with proper communication. Couples should learn to communicate with each other regularly and talk about each other’s feelings.

3. THE LITTLE THINGS ALWAYS MATTER

The little things really matter if you want your marriage to be the best. You never know how important things as little as “thank you”, “I’m sorry”, “you are looking lovely” can help your marriage.

4. BE SELFLESS

Truth be told, a lot of couples are selfish, and selfishness is a major factor that would drag your marriage to divorce. If many people think a bit less of themselves and more of their partners, most marriages would be like paradise. Selfishness wouldn’t take you anywhere.

5. SPEND TIME WITH EACH OTHER EVEN WHEN THE KIDS START COMING

Even when you start having kids, learn to be there for each other, spend time with each other and never let the togetherness die. A lot of partners focus more on their kids and less on their marriage after having kids, and this could make you both grow apart.

6. GIVE EACH OTHER ATTENTION

Attention is important; it shows that in spite of your busy schedules, you still have your partner in mind. Attention shows value.

7. DO THE LOVEY-DOVEY

Never let this part of your marriage die; learn to show each other affection, in fact lots of affection. Go on dates whenever you have the chance, get each other gifts and always show how much you care about each other.

8. STOP ASSUMING

A lot of marriages suffer because of assumption and presumption. Stop assuming and stop presuming; anything you aren’t sure of, ask your partner.

9. LISTEN

The second tip talked about communication. Listening is an important part of communication; many couples talk without listening. Try to listen to what your partner is saying, try to listen to each other’s views and try to be more understanding.

10. NEVER WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE

Don’t wait until it’s too late before you work on your marriage. Fix every issue as quickly as they come; do not entertain grudges and feelings of hatred — they are like termites — little by little, they would eat up your marriage.

 

Wishes don’t come true except you work for it. So stop wishing for a beautiful marriage and start working towards it.
