Building and enjoying a successful marriage is perhaps the most fulfilling thing we could ever achieve. If your marriage is not right, it consumes you and you can become bitter, impatient, frustrated and dissatisfied.
Marriage makes many couples find a new purpose and meaning to life. This is why successful homes are fertile grounds to grow stable children and good springboards to lunch successful career in diverse fields.
Having a successful marriage involves:
- Compromise
- Giving and expecting no reward in return
- It is a setting where forbearance thrives.
You must realize that your spouse becomes charming, sweet and special to you if you love and nurture him/her. But if you wait for spouse to be perfect before you truly love him or her, then your marriage would be unsettled.
Don't expect to enjoy your marriage if your sole philosophy is “as you lay your bed, so you lie on it!” Your partner can ruffle things. But you just have to tag along.
Marriage is an alliance between a man who like to sleep with the lamp on and a woman who likes it off. Perhaps the lamp would be half on and half off!
It is indeed easy to love and be kind to people who love us and are kind to us. However, if someone is a little terse or critical, we become resentful and as critical and unkind as they are.
But this would not work in marriage. If your partner is pulling the other way, you can turn the situation around by just a little compromise, which is an act of love.
Allowing your spouse to have his or her way is not weakness. Rather, it is love. Marriage is place to give preference to your partners.
- Praise your wife or compliment her new hair style even if you had a bad day at the office.
- Compliment her cooking even if she forced the wrong meal on you.
- And, Madam, tell your husband that he is doing great even if times are hard and you wish to scream at him.
