Marriage is not a contract
between two partners, nor is it a passport to having sex. Marriage is a sacred
union between two souls. You have to think that you are two friends with a
common agenda.

Marriage is not a contract between two partners, nor is it a passport to having sex. Marriage is a sacred union between two souls. You have to think that you are two friends with a common agenda.
Family means a garden of heaven
where we live, share, and dream. Every person wants a peaceful, sweet home and
a good bond with his or her family members. Every person dreams of such a home
that gives him or her extra positive energy, and this energy helps them all
live and work in peace. Uncomfortable feelings can be caused by strained
relationships with family members.We lose our mental peace, and that affects
our daily routine.
You are a genius if you can
maintain a good relationship with your husband or wife and carry on with your
conjugal life year after year. But remember, it’s not as easy as you think. If
you are married, you know this well from your practical experiences in daily
life. If you are a bachelor, you have to follow some rules to keep your
post-marriage life safe and secure.
Remember three words that help you follow the rules: These words are--
1. Transparency B. Optimism,
and C. Sincerity Marriage is a bond between two souls. Sex is not the only way
to keep your marital life safe. Marriage and love have some untold and
unwritten conditions. We all have to obey these conditions. 1. Belief 2. Dedication
3. Unconditional love for each other 4. Respect 5. Understanding 6. Humanity 7.
Sense of Humor 8. Caring Mentality 9. Patience 10. Truth and Transparency 11.
Sexual prowess
Mutual
respect is a pillar of a happy marriage and a pleasurable conjugal life. Even
when you’re angry, express yourself through the prism of respect. Respect
allows you to avoid situations where one of the partners feels that the other
is manipulating and putting pressure on them. You can do it easily when you
respect yourself. So, self-respect is the first step towards mutual respect.
Nobody
is without flaws. A complete man or woman is rare in today's world. They may be
found in your fantasy, the filmic world, or romantic stories. So, try to keep
yourself happy with what you get. Remember that we all make mistakes.
Misunderstandings and hurt are inevitable in any relationship. If a couple
cannot feel for each other or can’t forgive one another, then over time the
relationship will collapse under the burden of accumulated grievances. Stop
comparing your partner with other people’s husbands and wives, especially
someone next door. Don’t compare your partner with your virtual friends or
friends in real life. This goes for both in your thoughts and out loud.
A caring mentality is a good
quality that enriches your conjugal relationship. If both of you have leisure
time, spend it with your partner. Don’t show you that I'm busy working on a
laptop, in the kitchen, or on social networking sites. Respond to your
partner’s will. Pass the time by listening to music, watching movies, chatting,
or role-playing with him/her.
Another
word to remember It is sex. Sex plays a vital role in some special moments. It
keeps your marital life intact and pleasurable. Always take care of yourself
and take care of your partner’s mental and physical health. People love to see
what is attractive. Stay fit and healthy. Think about the way you look when
you’re in front of your partner, even at home. A well-built body is the first
step to "good sex." Your pleasing personality helps you go ahead with
confidence. This rule applies to both men and women. Everyone speaks their own
language of love. Yours may differ from the love language of your partner.
Speaking of love, he may manifest it with words of support and praise, perhaps
with touch and care, or even with material things like gifts. Each of us has a
language of love. Whatever your partner’s love language is, learn it and use
it.
Give your partner a space of
his or her own. It’s your partner’s personal property. Avoid peeping or
intruding into your partner’s personal world or beliefs. Things you should
never try to change are bad habits, religious views, relationships with
parents, hobbies, the way they see the world, and what they make their
priorities. Try to respect others' views. But a good thing to do is to create
mutual family habits and traditions that everyone will find pleasing.
Try to avoid phrases like
"If this continues, I will leave you." And never say the word
"divorce." If you are going to say it, then be ready to go and see a
lawyer. Don’t crawl back on your knees later with the words, "I did not mean
it." Your partner might suddenly say, "Fine." Leave."
Such phrases, often said
in anger, are not forgotten. Even after you make up, it will
only increase the chances of an actual divorce.
Talk less and listen more. It
will make a great lover for your wife. Don’t promise something if you can’t
keep your word. If you promise to do something, please try to complete it.
Though it’s not a big matter, if you break your promises several times, you
make yourself a loser to your wife.
Never, ever speak negatively
about your partner to others, not to your mother. not even to your friends.
After your quarrel, you will forget everything and forgive each other, but your
mother and girlfriends will not. That is when your partner will remain in a
negative light for them, and they will treat him or her badly. When things are
really difficult, first have a heart-to-heart talk with your spouse. If you
really must share with someone else, contact a family psychologist.
