Precious Tips On Sustaining Your Marriage.
No man or woman, no husband or wife sees the best of their partner before marriage. As you progress in years as a couple, there always seem to be changes in the character of your partner.
But in actual sense those things you see as changes, are characters evoked by the situations of marriage.
Marriage obeys the Law of astronomy; the higher you go the cooler it becomes. No matter how long you have stayed with your partner, your individuality remains.
As a husband, your wife is still a woman and as a wife, your husband is still a man.
Here are four precious tips to keep your marriage going...
1. Always Remember Peace is a Choice in Marriage
Peace like they say is not the absence of conflict but the ability to amicably handle tension and crisis. For every crisis in a home, both the husband and wife are responsible. It is usually as a result of the action of one partner or the reaction of the other. Or rather the inaction of both parties that leads to conflict.
Peace in a home is not a miracle, but a deliberate desire which you choose to uphold in the home. And for couples to sustain their marriage, there is need for peace in the home. But how do you go about it?
One major way marriages can experience peace is for both partners to recognise and understand the differences between each other as regards their foundation. These differences can be their social, faith and ethnic convictions.
2. For Marriage To Be Sustained, Knowledge is Key
Love leads you to your wedding day, but it takes knowledge to sustain you in marriage. How many books have you read regarding to marriage? How many seminars have you attended to in other to understand how best to lead your marriage life?
Environmental transformations can affect your partners behaviour as you progress in marriage. Are you knowledgeable enough to recognise the signs? Or are you still using the manual of your parents marriage to handle your own marriage. Knowledge is key!
3. Effective Communication in Marriage is Non-negotiable
Absence of communication in a marriage makes the husband and wife live like housemates or neighbours. Robust communication in a marriage opens up the window for crisis resolution. And that will help both couples achieve peace. Make deliberate effort to understand your partner's communication approach. The use of technology can help couples enhance communication in their marriage.
Is there someone you are communicating with more than your spouse? If so, you are being unfaithful and unfaithfulness kills a marriage.
Do well to rise above attitudes that hinder communication. Some of such attitudes are fear, worry, doubt and suspicion.
When your partner refuses to talk, find out his/her best approachable and receptive moment.
Deliberately communicate.!
4. Constantly Celebrate Your Spouse
If marriage must be sustained, there should be constant celebration. Constantly reassure each other of your love.
The best gift a man can give to his children is to love their mother. By loving their mother, your work as a father is half done because you will inculcate in them the virtue of love. Also for the husband in the midst of other, treat your wife as a queen.
And for the woman, it is import to understand that every good wife has a king for a husband. When a man knows that he is the king at home, he will be faithful and lovely.
Questions to Ponder
If your spouse is given another opportunity to marry, will he/she marry you?
If your children are to get married tomorrow, will they pray to have a husband/wife like you?
But in actual sense those things you see as changes, are characters evoked by the situations of marriage.
As a husband, your wife is still a woman and as a wife, your husband is still a man.
