I do believe in marriage and I am always happy and excited when I hear about people getting married. Even though my own marriage lasted for 5 years, I did have happy moments, and looking back, I have learnt from the experience and though no two marriages are the same, I feel I can share a few tips which I hope can help.
- Start your day with a prayer together for continued love, peace understanding and harmony in your relationship.
- Respect, love, appreciate each other and make your marriage a priority.
- Enjoy a healthy sex life satisfying each other’s needs.
- Practise the One Minute Smilence regularly – recall happy moments in your life whilst smiling for a minute.
- Don’t let the same things upset you over and over again – try and resolve it.
- Their will be conflict, disappointments’ and set backs but its all part of your marriage journey, try and resolve them between yourselves and if you can’t get a trusted impartial person or even get a counsellor who can help you resolve it.
- Even if you have had a disagreement during the day, before you go to bed each night, still give each other a peck and a cuddle and say I still love you.
- Don’t take each other for granted,
- Give each other space to pursue interests, hobbies and time with friends and family.
- Do all you can to keep peace within you home
- Sometimes you just have to say – I am sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, I love and care for you.
- Sometimes you have to bite your tongue and let things go.
- Do not put your partner down or say negative things about them especially to each other’s family and friends.
- Try not to let outsiders interfere in your marriage, together you must unite and work hard to keep the relationship going.
- Make time for special date nights
- Know the things that your partner loves and now and then surprise them
- Continue to have fun together and keep a box of cherished moments so that you can recall them together.
