11 Ways To Bullet Proof Your Marriage by foxgiovani(m): 3:51pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
1. ARE YOU ALWAYS THE FIRST TO APOLOGISE AFTER AN ARGUMENT? A study earlier this year found if one of you bounces back quickly after a row, moves on and avoids sulking, your marriage is likely to be stronger and happier. Interestingly, you don't both have to behave like this to reap the benefit – so if your partner's the mature sensible one, a little sulking can't hurt! 2. YOU SPEND MORE TIME IN THE REAL WORLD THAN THE VIRTUAL ONE According to lawyers, Facebook has a lot to answer for. 'We deal with 5,000 divorce petitions a year,' says Amanda McAlister from solicitors Russell Jones & Walker. 'Facebook and Friends Reunited are cited as grounds in one-third of cases. Social networking sites can be addictive, and sometimes it's hard to resist a first love who gets in touch after 30 years.' Experience has taught her honesty is the best policy: 'Be upfront about who you're in touch with online' – many of my clients hit trouble when they start keeping secrets. 3. BOTH OF YOU GIVE YOUR BRAINS A WORKOUT It's said only fools fall in love, but intelligent people are better at staying in love. A study found those of below-average intelligence are 50 per cent more likely to divorce than those with a higher IQ. So exercising your brain – whether it's Sudoku, evening classes or conversation – boosts more than just brainpower 4. STAND UP FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS There was much talk a few years ago about the Surrendered Wife movement, in which women just did exactly what their husbands said in order to make them happy. But a recent survey found that women who see themselves as feminists are more likely to have stronger relationships and enjoy a better sex life. 5. YOU STILL LAUGH AT HIS SILLY JOKES That's a good sign. 'Laughter lowers our levels of stress hormones, which impacts on how irritable we feel,' Stress can turn off your sex drive and make you put up a barrier. So rent a film that cracks you both up – you'll feel refreshed and happier.' 6. YOU'VE GIVEN UP SMOKING The more similar people are in values and habits, the more likely they are to have a successful marriage. If your partner is a smoker, you're 75-91% more likely to split up than couples of same-smoking status. Quit, and you'll live longer – and spend more years together.
