Secrets That Will Save Your Marriage by succyreal(m): 8:23am On Dec 17, 2014
Marriage opens up a new chapter in your life and
every new couple foresees a fairy-tale bliss
ahead. If you are one of those who thought
marriage would be an extension of your dating
period, it is about time to get some reality check.
Get ready to find out that marriage is going to
have ample surprises for you, which if not
anticipated, can lead to disasters.

1 . Be your husband's girlfriend
Don't let the word "wife" become an excuse to
take the person you love most for granted. Flirt,
plan dates (even if they are at home and include
Netflix and Pizza), and let him be your boyfriend
too, of course.

2. Communicate
Want to divorce-proof your marriage ? It's simple,
ask your husband the easiest question ever: "How
was your day?" Research from the Gottman
Institute (that studies what makes marriages long
and happy) shows that having intimate knowledge
of each other's lives strengthens your
relationship.

3. Trust
We all know you can't have a great relationship
without it. But did you know that trust is built in
tiny, almost microscopic moments every day?
How do you have confidence that you will keep
the big promises you made to each other on your
wedding day? By keeping the little ones you make
on the way to the grocery store.

4. Create, don't copy
We have all seen marriages on TV, in movies or
right next door that we lusted after. We think the
way that couple does marriage is perfect, only to
find out years later, maybe not so much. After all,
you never know what happens behind closed
doors. Create a marriage that works for you, not
your neighbor or the star of your favorite
blockbuster. If that means he cooks and you run
the bank account, go for it. The happiest
marriages are making it up as they go along, just
like you are.

5. Laugh and kiss
The fun researchers from the Gottman team have
actually confirmed scientifically that a six-second
kiss is good for your relationship. Permission to
kiss generously and often has been granted. It's
practically your assigned homework for life.
Laughing is always a good idea. But you knew
that already.

6. Use your words
Learn each other's love languages. Your wedding
license did not include a mind reader's clause.
Ask for what you need. Encourage your husband
to do the same. Don't worry first and ask
questions later. Ask questions first so you can
face life together.

7. Love
Remember that love is a verb, it is something you
do, create, contribute to and build on every day.

wishing u a successful relationship.
