Marriage is an occasion when two souls become one and they decide to live together as a happy couple till end of life. Life is bliss for those who are blessed with and lead a happy married life. Though happy married life is hard to find but it cannot be said to be non-existent. With some effort married life can be made happier. The following can yield good results:
Try to spend time together. At least once a week go out for long drive or walk or to sea side or to hill side, if available near you. While going out ensure that you are stocked with enough food liked by both of you. Select a secluded place to take rest and enjoy food, drinks and nature.
Another good idea can be to break the routine of life to enjoy a change. Try to think of some spontaneous activity and take it up without disclosing to the other so that it is a surprise. Breaking routine to sleep together for a longer time will increase intimacy.
During earlier days of marriage when avoiding touching the other is difficult. Repeat the act and ensure it is enjoyed by the other. This can continue till later stages of life. Giving a surprise to the loved one will be helpful. A gift can help add happiness in marriage. It is not essential that the gift should be costly, a small gift like a card or even a hand written note will be appreciated. Depending upon the means sometimes a costly gift or a new dress can be given.
Always be honest with the other, disclose your mistakes in confidence, this will add to development of better faith. Never fight in the presence of others. This may hurt the feelings of one of you. Similarly never insult the other person or his or her relatives. Hurt caused this way is hard to be recouped.
One secret of happy marriage is to be understanding. Remember that the other spouse may be facing some difficult time may be due to problem in office with the boss, or due to some financial constraints. Never press him/her in such a matter. Also if the spouse is late in returning home may be due to office work or traffic, don’t start questioning and irritating him further. Just ask the other to have rest and offer water, tea or coffee. This will increase understanding and intimacy.
These and other small things can be of great help to make the married life happy and successful.
