Marriage is that social institution or sacred space where a man and a woman are formally united for the purpose of living together and sharing their life together, but in current times when an increasing number of marriages is falling apart and heading towards splitsville, the primary concern in the minds of most married individuals is how to have a happy marriage. Well, let me give you a few pointers on having a good relationship which may be of use to quite a good number of warring couples.
The power of a simple touch
Just as mothers touch their babies often and pat them on the back to assure and reassure them, similarly going tactile with your partner and touching them gently and affectionately at times, like squeezing their hands or patting on the bum or giving an affectionate tap on the head can directly hit at the emotional think tank of your spouse and communicate that feeling of intimacy and affection. A gentle touch when your partner is feeling upset or down in the dumps can calm him/her down in a few seconds.
How to say thank you
When your partner does a good deed for you or something that is helpful but very trivial, don't ever forget to say thank you from the bottom of your heart. The main reason why most marriages fall apart is because one partner or both partners start to take each other for granted. Basically what I mean is to let your partner know that he/she is indispensable in your life and that you cannot do without him/her.
How to have a happy marriage through a fulfilling sex life
Another reason why most marriages fall apart is because the couples stop having sex and the physical intimacy breaks down and hits ground zero. In fact when a couple in the mid thirties stops having sex, it sure is a sign of trouble brewing up. Try to keep yourself attractive, fit and sexy, pay attention to personal grooming and hygiene and you must remember to court each other.
Vacations and recreations
The best way to eliminate boredom in a placid marriage and to revive that spark is to enjoy recreations or take vacations which both partners will enjoy to the hilt. Try out adventure sports or scuba diving together. Don't force your spouse to follow something that he/she won't like. For e.g. all wives aren't keen on fishing expeditions or golfing tours. Sometimes you should give priority to your spouse's interests as well.
Successful sharing of domestic chores
When the wife has to cook, clean, tend to the children, shop for groceries, attend to ailing husband or kids, run out to pay bills, wash dishes and clothes apart from pursuing her job, she becomes easily stressed out and breaks out into temper tantrums. As a kind and considerate husband, it is your duty to help her.Hopefully if you follow some of these "how to have a happy marriage" tips and guidelines, your married life will be a success story as well.
