Saying your vows around the sacred fire on the day of your wedding is one thing but putting such vows into practice every day is something else. As with most situations in life, there are many things you can do every day to keep your marriage strong.
Here are our top 5:
Know you are a team: There is no ‘me’ in a marriage, there is only ‘us’. This means that you both are a team in front of the parents, in-laws, kids and the rest of the world.
Keep the flame of love going: Keep the flame of love alive by surprising your partner every now and then in a nice way. It’s the little things that count. It could be a book, a new shirt, breakfast in bed or even a bar of chocolate to share.
Keep those gadgets away: Minimize the use of gadgets when you both are together. You probably don’t realize it, but chances are that you have a better relationship in terms of communication with your pals on social media than with your spouse at home. Keep the phone and tab away once you’re back from work.
Spend quality time with each other: Make time for each other every day. You don’t need to spend one hour talking as a fixed rule but even giving your spouse just 10 minutes of your time every day uninterruptedly, can cement your bond together. When you give your spouse undivided attention, it shows you respect and love him.
Laugh a lot: Humor is important in a marriage because there will be plenty of instances where one of you does something to crack the other one up. After all, you should be having fun in your marriage. You don’t have to be serious all the time.
