SECRETS TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE
Studies have shown that an unhappy
marriage often leads to depression and a happy one acts as a buffer against
stress. The below are 5 secrets to a happy marriage.
Appreciate
your differences
Marriages only succeed when couples
accommodate their differences. Values and perception will differ at least
by a little. However, keeping an open mind that is ready to tolerate these
differences is very key
Build Trust
Build Trust
No relationship strives without trust.
You need to build lots of trust in your marriage for it to pass the test of
time and be a happy one. A lecturer of mine back in college once said' Don't
marry her if you don't trust her, because it won't work.' Trust is the
foundation of a happy marriage.
Pay Attention to your Spouse
Mutual respect is vital for any marriage. Always give your spouse undivided attention because it shows you respect him/her and value what he/she has to say.
Spend Time Out
Find time to do things you love together. Exercise together, go for walks, to the movies and take on mutually enjoyable tasks together. Spending time together enjoying each other's company will strengthen your happy marriage.
Make Plans and Set goals together
Couples should endeavour to align their individual goals and plans. However, in most cases, new goals will be set. Doing so builds trust and reflects mutual respect.
