Secrets of a Happy Marriage

Everyone dream of a happy wedding or a happy marriage.However,having a happy marriage do not just happen by accident. It do not happen because you're "in love" or "perfect" for each other. Marriage is a partnership, and like any partnership, it takes commitment, dedication and hard work to help it to grow strong.

Here I list some of marriages tips collect from various happy couples. Follow them, adapt them to work in your own marriage.For people who will get married soon,take this tips as one important lesson in your life...

#1 : Communicate. It's important that you keep the lines of communication open. Especially when things go wrong. There are so many outside influences that can affect a marriage. If you're suddenly not being able to spend time together, or you're fighting about money, it's especially important to talk about what's going on.

#2 : Listen. It's a sad fact that we are often more polite to strangers than we are to the people we love the most. If your spouse is trying to talk to you, whether it's to find out what
you want for dinner, to tell you about their day, or to discuss a
problem in your marriage, give them the same courtesy you'd give
a complete stranger, and LISTEN!

#3 :Create rituals and family traditions. Every successful couple has their own private rituals, things they do that has a special meaning just to them. So whether it's getting your spouse coffee every morning, a special touch that means "I love you", or creating couple signals.

#4 : Go on a date. Couples who have been together for thirty,forty and even fifty years or more say that one of the things that has kept their marriage strong is going out on a "date" with their spouse on a regular basis.

#5 : Agree on money matters early. Amazingly, many couples never discuss money except in the most superficial ways until after they're married. One of the leading causes of arguments in marriages is because of a difference in how money is handled in the couple.

#6 : Love and Respect. No matter what happens outside of your marriage, it's vital that you and your spouse always treat each other with love and respect. There are some simple rules that
have worked for couples for the last 80 years that still apply today.They include: Never go to bed angry. Kiss each other every time you come home, or before going out.

#7 : Maintain a commitment to your marriage. This can be especially difficult today, but it's important that you put your marriage first. If you're committed to making your marriage a success, and you know that your partner shares your commitment, there's
nothing that the two of you can't accomplish.

And you'll be one of the lucky few that have a truly happy marriage! Good luck!
