How to Maintain a Good Marriage Relationship

Have you ever wished for an additional pair of hands to do all the things you need to do? Be it clearing the laundry basket of its dirty clothes, cleaning the messy rooms, mopping the dirt-stained floor, putting away the toys, sending your children to school, or preparing meals for your family, an additional pair of hands would be cool.Everyone surely has had frustrating hair-pulling days before, whether you're married or not.On top of the above chores, if you're holding a job, I would honestly empathize with you. The physical and mental pressure that you need to bear is definitely not small!
I can imagine that there are days whereby things  do not appear to go smoothly. The alarm clock did not ring when it's meant to! you're late for a meeting with an important client! Your boss being not in a lovely mood, made things difficult for you throughout the day! The school called saying your kid is having behavioural issues! you need to work over-time, and would not be in time to prepare dinner for your family. When you reached home, tons of household chores are waiting for you! To top it off, you've a difference in opinion with your husband over some mundane issues, with both of you ending up going to bed still annoyed and not speaking to each other! Wow! What a mess!

Below are a few tips for maintaining a wedding relationship that i have gathered over fifteen years of personal experience. I do hope they work for you as well!

In a wedding, efforts must be made to maintain and strengthen the relationship between husband and spouse, or parent and kid,  like a seedling needs to be watered for it to blossom. Yes, lots of things are simpler said than done! However, if you're not even willing to give it a chance by putting in some hard work, things will certainly stay the same!

1.Sharing
To maintain a lovely marriage relationship requires lots of SHARING. A load shared is a load halved. Vice-versa, happiness shared is happiness doubled! For example, if you can get your other half to do household chores together, both of you would be surprised that it could become time well-spent together, gaining a better knowledge of the habits, as well as the likes and dislikes of your partner.
If your partner received a piece of excellent news and shared it with you, it would be most appropriate for you to express your happiness for him/her with a simple hug or a kiss! With a small hard work to celebrate in the kind of a meal or a small gift, your relationship would be greatly improved.

2.Quality Communication
Quality communication comes about with patience, a listening ear and a sympathetic heart. I do understand that sometimes it's not simple to wait and see with one another,  after a hard day at work!  if there are also small children around the house! However, keep in mind the time when both of you were  getting to know each other? The efforts made then to try to present a lovely picture in front of each other, and the willingness to listen so as to know each other better ought to even be practiced within a wedding. Try seeing things from his/her point of view, and you would realize that it's not difficult to understand the behaviour of your partner.
Of work, there would be days whereby you know that your patience has reached its limits. Then the best thing to do would be to take a breather from each other. Give each other some private space, then try approaching your beloved when you've cooled down. there's no point in continuing any discussion if both of you're heated up. Throwing ugly words at each other will only deepen your misunderstandings, and not solve any issues. annoyed words hurt and leave its mark. Moreover, it will be impossible to take back what is said even if you need to later! So, do not do what you will regret later.

Bear in mind to grasp every obtainable opportunity to show that you care! Be it a cup of coffee in the morning, a call of concern in the work of the workday, or a hug after work would work miracles for a wedding. Marriage is not the end, but the beginning of a long path of finding out more about your partner, and learning to compromise and live with your differences in life. it's also about going through the ups and downs of life, as well as maturing together with your loved ones. Learn to appreciate the plain presence of your other half, and marriage life might not be as bad as you deem it to be

3.Respect
Everyone likes to be respected. Respect your partner and you will be treated the same by your partner. If you're married, there has to be a couple of things about him/her that have made you agreed to the marriage in the first place. Do not be negative about things he/she likes  because it's not to your preference. Constant arguing will only worsen a wedding relationship. Try to discover a mutual ground for compromise. sometimes it helps to take a step back and look at things from a different angle.
