The decision to marry is one of the greatest decisions, any human is bound to make during their lifetime. If you regard your spouse as your intimate friend, on an emotional and intellectual level. You are more likely to ‘repair’ relationship issues.

To keep a relationship healthy you do not need to do extraordinary things as most people might think. Pay attention to their intentions. Gratitude and appreciation, even in the little act you do for each other make a world of difference.

1.Time For Each Other

Happiness is about by finding time for each other every single day. Even if it only entails listening for a quarter of an hour.  Become empathetic and develop your listening skills. By eliminating bad habits such as criticizing, contempt and sarcasm. This will have an immense impact on your married relationship.

2. Talk

While there are several tips which help maintain a happier marriage. Talking is definitely one of them. It is important to express and share our feelings.  Discuss, converse and have a respectful debate with your partner. This way we can share feelings and internal lessons can be learned. Talk about anything, from your deepest horrors to your greatest ecstasies with your partner.

3. Don’t try to be in control

It’s found that controlling behaviors are damaging to harmonious relationships. Living a happy life means enjoying life together. Not by completing your daily routine on time.

4. Be caring and romantic  

Show your partner that they are essential in your life.  This also involves an intimate physical relationship.  Physical relationships are, sacred and the responsibility of both the partners. Use gentle communication. Always be respectful of your partner’s thoughts and feeling, while discussing the physical relationship.

5. Take care of your health 

Although we need to love and respect each other regardless of physical appearance. Your spouse loves to see you in good shape.  Don’t let go of your self-control, keep fit and healthy.

6.Respect and Love

You cannot change your partner. Respect and love your spouse for all their flaws and special habits. Be accepting of changes that may happen in your marriage. Remember that people evolve and change. So take the time to learn about your partner’s thoughts, feelings, and intentions.

The best relationship is honest and intimate. Where you can stand close to each other and talk about anything and everything. Whilst feeling strong and supported. Find a balance between being someone’s partner. And making enough alone time to refresh your own body and mind.
