Dear newly wedded and dating couples aspiring to get married, here are a few truths you should know about successful Marriage.
Start the marriage right and with the right expectations. Marriage is not one hundred percent beautiful. Marriage is the responsibility of both you and your spouse. Be ready to learn, to grow, and to listen to each other.
Stay away from negative thoughts and destructive advice from bitter souls, they will corrode your marriage that has so much potential to be successful.
Envision a well-balanced marriage. Don't just focus on one aspect of your marriage; be it spiritual, Intimacy, financial, parental, or emotional. Nurture, grow, and be great all around.
You live in a wonderful time where there is an abundance of resources to help you be a better spouse and parent; you can't blame your parents for not preparing you for marriage. You must get yourself ready for Marriage.
You will not always feel loved by your spouse, especially when your spouse makes you mad as hell. Do not always trust your feelings. Feelings are fickle. That is not the time to decide to walk away or file for divorce.
In marriage, there will be the temptation of becoming too familiar with your spouse. Learn to keep it fresh. Don't be lured outside or value what others say at the expense of your spouse because it can destroy your Marriage.
Understand that you will do so much for each other, and make a habit of appreciating each other. Ungratefulness dries up a marriage that was even planned to be successful.
Always be polite with your spouse in everything. Remember to always say, "Please, I'm sorry." Don't just be polite and friendly with others but at home completely rude.
There will be challenges and maybe even mistakes. Challenges come to make you two stronger and even indivisible and inseparable, mistakes are opportunities to learn. Don't be so quick to judge your spouse or too fast to quit the Marriage. With love, seek solutions as a team.
Take away pride and selfishness from your Marriage. You will have your way for some time but it will only lead to regression.
Remember how you guys fell in love with each other in the beginning? You respected each other, there was frequent communication, and you always worked as a team. You will need to still do those things to keep the flame of love in your Marriage alive and strong.
When you lose your way due to life's issues, return to your God the author of your life and the architect of Marriage. Struggling marriages can be restored.
There are so many marriages out there doing well. Yours will be one of them too if you can work on your Marriage.
