How to Have a Successful Marriage at Any Age? These 3 Tips Are Proven to Work Like Dynamite!
Keeping that momentum for many years to come, on the other hand, is not as easy as you may think - it requires work.
But it is not impossible either.
In this article, you will discover 3 tips which have been proven to work where ensuring you create that successful marriage is concerned.
Read on to find out what they are...
Tip Number 1 - Say "Yes" to Humor! Humor is one very fantastic way to ensure that your marriage remains successful many years after "I do"! Whenever humor is mentioned, many people balk at the idea - "Me? I can never be humorous!" Not true, I say.
In fact being humorous is strongly encouraged because medically it helps alleviate a whole lot of ailments! Did you know that it takes 36 muscles to frown and ONLY 2 to laugh? So you see, it even takes a lot more effort to frown than is actually needed or required to laugh! Whenever your spouse is down, try to clown around the house in an attempt to help him / her get over the blues.
Do not be afraid to look "foolish" or stupid in front of your partner - life is too short, have fun! Tip Number 2 - Say "No" to Bad Moods! Bad moods, especially those that come without warning - referred to as "mood swings", can take a toll on your relationship after a while.
To successfully remain martially blissful at any age, you must fight mood swings at any cost! How can you achieve this? If your spouse is in a bad mood, for instance, you can actually start messing with him / her - where I come from we refer to it as "looking for the person's trouble".
So you can actually start looking for the trouble of your partner.
Yes, he / she may initially not find it funny but eventually he or she will have no choice but to try and stop you from messing around with him or her.
In so doing, a chase around the house or a playful wrestle may ensue and your partner will actually get out of that bad mood which he or she was in.
Tip Number 3 - Say "Yes" to Great Communication! If you desire to have your marriage termed as "successful" over time, you must learn how to communicate.
Notice I did not say "learn to talk / speak"...
Communication or the lack of it is one of the major reasons why many couples do not make it together into old age.
You see that "happily ever after" which you where promised as a child watching those cartoons or listening to those bedtime story books being read by your mom or dad can only occur as a result of you learning and mastering the art of communication.
It is not really difficult.
Listen when your spouse is talking - really listen.
Note things down for later when he / she asks you again.
Learn to respond with compassion and empathy when it is time to do so.
Practice makes perfect and desire will take you there.
