Remember that you married the man or woman of your dreams. Why else would you commit to if you were not sure your other half was "the one?" It is extremely common for many people's relationship to plateau after they are married. It does not mean that your relationship is over.
Just like with life, we all have our ups and downs. Same goes with our marriage and relationships. There'll be days that reminds you why you married your spouse and there'll be days that makes you question if this is what you really wanted.
Many folks go into a marriage (especially women) expecting the relationship to be on "fire" all of the time. That right there is a unrealistic expectation. The person whom you selected to co-habitat with in a committed relationship is not perfect and neither are you. If you have certain expectations on what a perfect marriage looks like, let it go because there is no such thing as a perfect marriage. Marriage will take work and effort to keep each person happy and satisfied. Here are 4 good habits to get into to help your marriage flourish.
1. Share Experiences Together (Whether Or Not It Is Not Your Thing) We have our differences. We may love doing one thing where as our partner may hate it. Try showing an interest in what your other half likes. I am not implying you have to love it but it is nice to take interest in each other's past-times. You may be slightly taken aback at how much fun your having at something you thought you hated. Remember the couple who plays together, laughs together.
2. Make a Routine Out of Connecting Together
Life can be particularly hectic. That's why it's even more vital to make time out of your day to connect with your other half. Talk it up with your spouse. Couples who chitchat about little things typically have an easier time debating about the crucial things than others who've got a much tougher time bringing up the issue.
3. Write In Your Book
You will be stunned at how writing in a journal can control your anger. When you're upset about something, cool down by writing in your journal. Writing about your emotions is a great way to let go of bad emotions instead of taking it out on your other half.
Many times, stress from life puts us in a bad mood. Instead of snapping at your partner, decompress your emotions in your journal. When your irritated and angry at the world, it's so simple to snap at the ones we love.
4. Publicly Praise Your Other Half
When you are out with a bunch of friends or have people around you, praise your other half. It's wonderful to hear compliments about yourself from other folks. Think how amazing it would feel to hear your partner brag about you in front of others. Nurture your spouse's self-esteem. Words of praise can bear as much weight as the malicious words that causes scars.
