10 Tips for Happy Married life.
Though most couples look happy during the first few years of marriage, monotony and boredom set in within no time. This need not be so. Marriage can be a life-long enjoyable experience. Both the partners should try and retain the freshness. Here are some tips to keep your marriage get going on the highway of happiness.
Explore each other mentally; The more you talk to each other, the better you can understand each other. Make it a point to share your views on a regular basis and be open to new ideas.
Be a good listener; One should be a good listener too. This is essential to let your spouse know that you respect his/her view.
Live in the present; Past is gone and there is nothing to worry over it. Try to enjoy the present situation. Do not complain to your spouse that he/she has changed a lot since you met him/her.
Spare time for each other; Schedule some time just for the two of you- a quite lunch on a working day, a Saturday evening movie followed by dinner, or just a walk after dinner.
Vacations; A vacation is always a mood-lifter. Plan at least one long vacation once a year when you can really enjoy. The kids will also love it. It is also a good idea to take some short breaks to re-charge yourself.
Physical intimacy; Needless to say, physical intimacy is very important for a marriage’s survival. Don’t neglect this aspect. Physical intimacy may even include a hug, a soft touch or even a compassionate look.
Caring and sharing; Try to share housework between yourselves. Take turns at making dinner, washing clothes, shopping together, supervising the kids, and so on. Household chores seem less boring when both the partners share them.
Take time to encourage your interests; Reserve some time, even a few hours a week, when you can step back from your daily responsibilities and indulge in some work you really enjoy. Cultivate a new hobby or restart your old ones.
Allow space for each other; Every individual needs his/her own privacy and space. Do not make your marriage crowded. If you find your partner in a contemplative mood, leave him/her alone for some time.
Be young and energetic; Many neglect their physical appearance. This should not be so. Do some regular exercise to keep yourself physically and mentally fit. Enjoy life and cultivate a positive attitude.
