For you to have a fulfilling marriage, it’s important you connect with your spouse on a deeper level. You can’t create this connection if you don’t know your partner. So how well do you think you know your husband or wife?
Below are a few things you should know about your spouse if you want a healthy marriage
1. KNOW WHAT TURNS YOUR SPOUSE ON
Knowing what turns your spouse on and puts him or her in a good mood is very important if your marriage means a lot to you. If you don’t know this then you really need to do something about it.
2. KNOW HOW YOUR PARTNER WANTS YOU TO LISTEN TO HIM OR HER
This is important because while some people prefer their partner to give advice while listening to him/her, others prefer their partner to be silent and just listen. You have to know which your partner prefers as this could determine how much your partner communicates in future.
3. KNOW WHAT YOUR PARTNER IS AFRAID OF
Knowing your partner’s fears would help you know what to do if your partner witnesses such moments. When you know what your partner is afraid of, you would be better equipped to be of immense help to your partner in such moments.

You don’t want to have a disgruntled partner as this can lead to a troubled marriage. Knowing your partner inside and out would definitely help you build a healthy relationship with your spouse.
6. KNOW YOUR PARTNER’S FAVOURITE HOBBY
Your partner’s hobby is an important part of your partner’s life so it’s really important you know his/her hobby. You should learn to love your partner’s hobby even if you just can’t understand why your spouse has that hobby. If your partner loves that hobby, you should learn to love it too.
7. KNOW HOW TO COMFORT YOUR SPOUSE
Knowing how to comfort your spouse during challenging times is also very important if you want a healthy marriage. Does your partner prefer being alone, being held or being listened to? You need to know which best suits your spouse.
