1. Respect for each other
As Aretha Franklin sang to us in 1967. Respect each other as a person, but also each other's freedom and privacy. The latter is of course also built on a foundation.
2. The foundation of your relationship is trust.
It is not necessary to check each other's phone or mail when you fully trust your partner. Leave each other in value and in case of doubts: make them negotiable. Trust must grow, that does not come from one day to the next. Make good agreements together about what you expect from each other in your relationship.
3. Protect your heart
If you want to keep the peace, you can best start with your own heart. If you want to point out something to the other person, you must first wipe your own sidewalk. Pray that God will give you insight into your own heart and first confess everything that stands in your way to resolve a conflict.
4. Continue to do fun things together.
Two gags hanging on the couch in a jogging suit every evening are not so attractive after a while.
Plan activities together if you are free together. Have a nice dinner or surprise your husband or wife with a breakfast in bed. Make sure that the activities remain surprising!
Drinking a soft drink together your life partner can also be fun sometimes. Make concessions and make your partner feel good at his or her moment!
5. Continue to do your own things
That may seem contradictory after the previous tip, but it is not: in addition to doing fun things together, you also have to give each other the freedom to do their own things.
You may live a life together, you do not live together one life.
And by missing your love a day, night, weekend or week, you will only appreciate each other more. And how wonderful is the feeling of missing and then experiencing that moment of reunion!
6. Choose the right moment
Solving a conflict requires listening and carefulness. You need time for that. That can not be as fast and that can not be unplanned. Plan a moment when you are rested, not disturbed by anyone and have all the necessary time.
8. Laugh and compliment.
If you see each other again after a long day of work, it is sometimes quite nice to complain. But you can also do that after you have greeted each other in a friendly manner. Give each other a nice hug. Then you have plenty of time to discuss your day together.
Give each other compliments. It is easy to criticize and 'nag' in the daily grind. Do not forget to say aloud when the other person is doing something that makes you happy.
9. Divide the household tasks.
We live in 2018. Men may also roll up their sleeves. Make sure you divide the household tasks well, so you can never get a disagreement later on. Does your partner have no time for this? Have him take over your duties on his / her day off. Then you will see that you appreciate each other much more.
10. Continue to communicate well with each other.
Some people are an open book. With others you have to stretch a little more. When you are married to each other, you know how your partner works. Keep looking up the dialogue to save your matrimony. Even if you do not feel like it. By talking openly and honestly with each other you reach the most and also contribute to intimacy.
11. Limit yourself to the topic
Talking about a conflict becomes very complicated when you throw other discussion points on the table next to the topic of conversation. That becomes a cluttered mess of additional painful feelings and things from the past. Stay with the theme.
12. Have something about your partner.
In a happy marriage you have to give and take. Show your love in terms of gifts to make him/her feel special. You live with each other, so I have something for each other. Therefore, do things that the other person likes, even if you may not like them. And do them with pleasure! That is key.
13. Maintain passion in your marriage.
30 percent of the relationships end up on the disappearance of intimacy. Only 44% of Indian people say they are satisfied with the situation between the sheets. So keep it exciting - it does not have to be every day, no worries - and go on date nights.
You will find that your partner appreciates this!
14. Choose for forgiveness
Forgiveness is a promise not to stir up a case, nor to raise it consciously in thoughts. You are then prepared to live with the consequences of the sin of another and you seek the good for the other.
15. Learn from your own experiences
"What does not kill you, makes you stronger."
Use the experiences you have experienced.
Try to learn from your mistakes and take it with you in your further life and in your relationship.
