Marriage is a journey that is built through understanding, patience and daily commitment. Love connects two people together, but respect, communication and emotional balance keep them together. A happy marriage is not free of problems, they are built by handling problems wisely. These twelve golden rules can provide a framework for building a lasting and fulfilling relationship.
Never Be Angry at the Same Time
When both partners get angry at the same time, arguments and misunderstanding will quickly grow higher. But if one person stays calm, it helps to cool things down. A calm response makes it very easier to bring back peace, clear misunderstandings and bring the relationship back to balance without any more pain.
Don’t Dig Up the Past
In a relationship, bringing up the past is a very big mistake. What is gone is gone, there is no use in having a conversation about the past in a healthy relationship, because if you do so, it creates a lot of mess and it becomes worse, also it may ruin the current good relationship.
Speak Kindly, Even in Disagreement
When you are angry with your partner, don't speak whatever comes to your mind. Because when you speak mindlessly, the opposite person might get hurt and it will definitely spoil the whole mood and even the relationship might get a downfall. So, Even when you are in disgracement, you should learn to speak very kindly and calmly
Resolve Conflicts Before Sleeping
If there are any conflicts between you and your partner, try to solve it before going to bed. Because, next morning when you wake up, you should start fresh and continue the bonding like before. If you don't clear it before sleeping, it might continue to bring even more conflicts.
Avoid Raising Your Voice
When you start yelling at your lover or your partner, they will start feeling disgraced in the relationship and it may lead to losing interest in them. You should learn to speak calmly and you should always respect your partner's words and decisions. If it is not right, try to tell me softly.
Choose Your Spouse Every Day
You should always choose your partner, no matter what. Don't let them go down in any situations. Put them as your first priority even when others are criticising them. Because, when you take a stand for your partner, others will definitely start respecting you and your partner.
Don’t Turn Arguments Into Competitions
Competitions are something that are done in sports, games or professional challenges. It is not something about doing with a partner or in a relationship. Arguments should not turn into competitions. If that happens, relationships might fall apart.
Admit When You’re Wrong
Sometimes when you make a mistake in a relationship and if your partner knows about it, learn to accept your mistake and feel sorry. Instead if you argue that you have not made a mistake, your partner will feel that you are lying and losing interest in the relationship.
Practice Daily Appreciation
A kind word, compliment or small gesture in a relationship can make a big difference. Your partner will feel so good and it will keep the relationship filled with positivity and more love.
Listen More Than You Speak
Misunderstanding leads to lots of arguments. Listening with patience will often solve half the problem. Start listening to your partner and their perspective in order to maintain a healthy relationship. It will also reduce the conflicts between the partners and it will increase the value to each other.
Protect Each Other’s Dignity
Never insult or embarrass your spouse or partner especially in front of others. Respect is the foundation of love but when you start doing the opposite and disrespect them in public, the relationship will lose its value in terms of respect, loyalty and love.
Keep Ego in Check
Always keep your ego in check, You should always stay humble with your partner. It means respecting, listening and valuing your partner, instead of putting them down in public. You should avoid fighting and you should keep your love strong.
Final Words
A successful marriage does not happen overnight. It is shaped everyday through small choices, mutual respect and emotional maturity. When love is built by understanding rather than ego, marriage becomes a source of strength, comfort and lifelong companionship.
Remember: A happy marriage begins when kindness is bigger than your pride.
