MARRIAGE TIPS

Make Breakfast: Making your partner breakfast may not sound like much but it’s a thoughtful act at the start of the day. In small way, it reconfirms the bond and connection between husband and wife. However, this only works if the favour is returned by your other half on a regular basis. If you make his breakfast 99days out of 100, then not only will you begin to see it as just another chore but he will take it for granted and there place little or no emphasis on it.
Be nice to his friends: Much like your husband’s family, his friends can probably be hit or miss. But unlike with his family, you may not fell that you need to make an effort to get on with is friends. In some cases, this can be areal mistake. Your husband’s close friends are probably an important part of his life. He could be therefore be very disappointed or even angry that you don’t make an effort with them. Also, men do listen to their friends and usually greatly value their advice. Do you really want your husband being advised by someone who knows that you don’t like them?
Say sorry: In normally life, most people will automatically say sorry when they do something wrong. But in married life, many couples lose this aspect of common courtesy. It’s a common mistake to think, I don’t need to bother saying sorry to my husband or he knows I m sorry anyway. Saying sorry (and meaning it) shows that you’re aware you have done something to upset your partner and that you regret doing it.
Things change: The world continually changes. Everything and everyone evolves over time. Nothing truly stays the same, and a marriage is no exception. Your relationship will develop as time passes and your lives change. If you want a happy marriage, you must embrace these changes. The worst possible thing you can do is try to resist.
The spark will fade: Many women expect to feel the same way about their husbands after five years of marriage as they did when they first tied the knot. They expect to feel the same excitement and experience the same spark as they did at the very beginning of their relationship. However, in most cases the spark will slowly fade as your marriage racks up the years. But this doesn’t mean your love for one another has diminished. It simply means you have become more relaxed, more comfortable with your partner. Your love actually grows deeper and the bond between you stronger.
Men talk less: A common complaint amongst married women is that their husbands don’t talk enough. This can cause real problems in a marriage because women can take this as a sign of disinterest or lack of feeling. However, the truth is men simply talk less then women. Women love to chat but men, on the whole, would rather read the paper or watch the television.
Also women are much more likely to seek advise from their husbands. Generally, they feel a problem shared is a problem halved, and have no issue with seeking advice from their spouse. Men on the other hand, prefer to work things out for themselves, and are their help or opinion.
Timing is everything: In all aspects of life, timing is everything. And marriage is certainly no exception. You need to pick your moments. Decide when is right time to discuss certain issues or make particular comments. It may sound like little more than common sense but a surprising number of married couples completely ignore this golden rule. Blurting things out at inopportune moments accounts for a high percentage of the arguments between husbands and wives. So many disagreements and heated exchange can be avoided by simply asking yourself, is now the best time to say this?
Praise Him: You may think your husband is a strong, unflinching brute but even the toughest of men need to fell valued. Sometimes they yearn to be told, well done or you made a great job of that. In many cases, the praise from his wife is the only praise a husband ever receives. So make your man feel great with a few well chosen words of praise. Remember, if you have a happy husband, you’re half way to a happy marriage.
Keep it personal: Any personal problems you and your husband may be having should be kept just that – personal. Discussion sensitive issues with friends or family is not advisable. Although a problem shred is a problem halved, and you may well receive some good advice, there could also be negative consequences. Do you really want your friends or family to look at your husband in an unfavourable light? And how will he feel, if one day ( which is often the case) , he finds out that you’ve been shouting your mouth off about something he thought was just between the two of you.
