Are The Secrets To a Happy Marriage
We all love a secret. When someone says, “Can
you keep a secret?” we’re all ears and can’t wait to hear what
they will disclose that nobody else knows. Secrets are exciting
to hear and to tell. After all, what good is learning a secret
if you can’t tell it to someone?
If you’re reading this to learn the secrets to a happy marriage,
you probably already know them and hopefully practice them
daily. However, if your marriage is suffering and you’re wondering
if it can be fixed, the answer is yes. But, it’s no secret
it will take hard work, commitment and dedication.
Our culture teaches us that we’re missing something if we’re
not married and raising a family. We want to find that special
someone who will fulfill our life with happiness and love.
Even though almost half of those who get married find themselves
ultimately in divorce court, marriage is still popular and
desirable. 90% of adults will get married at least once. A
large percentage of those who divorce will go on to marry a
second or third time. Maybe they didn’t learn the secret.
A happy marriage doesn’t just happen by accident. Even the
minister who married you cannot say for certain you will have
a happy marriage. It takes hard work, commitment and dedication.
It bears repeating and it should be repeated often by both
parties involved. You can’t build a happy marriage alone, you
must work together.
Treat
each other with love and respect. You know you love
your spouse but do you also like and respect them? No one is
perfect and you must learn to love their faults as well as
their virtues. Empathize and put yourself in their shoes. Many
times there is no wrong or right, just a disagreement.
Talk to each other and learn each other’s needs and feelings.
You’re not enemies but on the same team and nowhere does teamwork
perform better than marriage. Don’t walk off without coming
to an agreement. Again, there may be two rights and no wrongs.
At times you must accept the wrong, laugh about it and forget
it. Your spouse should do the same for you.
Marriage is more than a 50-50 proposition. A forgetful spouse
is perhaps a true secret to a happy marriage. A spouse who
holds a grudge and remembers ever little mistake or hurt could
eventually lead to its downfall. Forget wrong doings and their
faults, love them and forgive. No one said marriage is easy
but it’s worth all the pain and hurt it may bring.
When you’re angry, respond with affection. Show your support
and show genuine interest in what your spouse is trying to
say or do. Don’t minimize their concerns and opinions. Be courteous
and polite. You’d do the same thing for a friend and your spouse
is your friend and more. Share responsibilities, share your
feelings, give your love and you will have learned the secrets
to a happy marriage.
