4. COHABITATION
This is also another quality of a peaceful relationship or marriage; falling in love is one thing but cohabiting with your partner in a marriage especially is another thing. People fall in love, get married but don’t know how to live with each other; this in turn kills the peace and even the love in that union. For a union to be peaceful, partners have to exist together.
5. FORGIVENESS AND TOLERANCE
Peace can never exist in a relationship where couples have a black heart, a heart of malice and a mind of grudges. A peaceful relationship is one in which couples are ready to forgive each other and let go. Forgiveness is one thing and tolerance is another; for a relationship to be peaceful, couples should also learn to tolerate their partner in spite of their excesses.
6. PATIENCE
Patience is also an important tool for peace to exist. To have a peaceful and successful relationship/marriage, you must be patient with your partner; without this, the relationship/marriage would come tumbling after. Patience is the bedrock of understanding, tolerance, love, forgiveness, cohabitation and commitment; without patience, these others would crumble.
A peaceful relationship/marriage is one everyone gets to envy; but there is really a lot of work to be put in order to achieve this. Do you really have a peaceful relationship?
