5 Keys to a Successful Marriage For a Fulfilling Emotional Journey

Everybody who intends to enter into that lifelong commitment called marriage must be aware of the keys to a successful marriage, regardless of whether they are male or female, but it has been usually observed that in most cases a relationship starts to die on the vine because of the nonchalance and indifference of the male partner. In this article I shall share a few tips with you on how to have a successful marriage and how to keep the romance from fizzling out and love from burning out.

Importance of saying good byes and hello and I love you

Did you know that a simple hello after returning home from work or a good bye kiss on the lips or cheeks before going out to work can work miracles for your marriage? Instead of uttering mundane things like you may be late in the evening or sitting down to watch television right after returning home, which will rightly offend your partner, why don't you give your spouse your most special smile and make eye contact with him/her while giving him/her a kiss or a hug?

This is a very simple act, but it will go a long way in cementing the bond between you two and make your partner feel warm, loved and wanted and special. The basic motive behind these demonstrations of love is nothing but to let your spouse know how much he/she means to you.

Sharing a few trivial things might make your marriage

Another key to a successful marriage is the sharing of very trivial and light issues. Remember those golden old days of youth when you used to send countless silly text messages or emails to your spouse or chatted with your spouse for hours over the phone? And then one day, the wedding took place and there were responsibilities and work commitments and soon kids, jobs and other kinds of responsibilities followed and killed all the romance.

Somewhere down the line you grew up and forgot to share. Well, one of the keys to a successful marriage is not letting this happen and keeping the lines of communication open at all times. Be just like friends; share all the trivialities at work or at the grocery store or at the kitty party or office party. Have a good laugh over it. A half an hour solid time spent with your spouse every day or every night can keep you two closes for the rest of your life.

Laughter is still the best medicine

Oh yes. This one is still regarded as one of the foremost and primary keys to a successful marriage. A good sense of humor can help to lighten even the darkest of moods and making fun of your silly mistakes and silly issues or your childish quarrels can help to beat the stress of marriage and everyday life. Both of you should know how to smile and giggle or guffaw or laugh away those tensions and tears.

The two other keys to a successful relationship are the healing power of touch that can convey feelings like intimacy and affection like nothing else and saying a heart felt thank you that will increase your togetherness quotient.
