5 unsaid rules of a happy marriage

Marriage is a journey which two people undertake supported by three pillars- love, trust, and mutual respect.

A specific journey is unique for each pair of married individuals, while there are a few unwritten dos which can contribute to a happy fulfilling relationship.

Silent, yet potent tenets often went above and beyond the ‘unspoken promises and vows’-direct movers of a strong bond.

From open communication to personal space needs, quiet agreements set the rhythm of daily life in a good marriage.

All of these are small things that keep the connection burning hot-the acts of kindness, patience, and constant efforts to kindle that spark.

And it is for this reason that such unwritten rules have to be learned by couples in realizing deeper understanding, a stronger relationship, and a relationship that shall last forever.

Here are five very crucial unwritten rules of a long-lasting and joyful marriage.

Clear communication is the bedrock of any healthy relationship. Instead of assuming your lover knows what you are thinking or need, let him know how you feel, then open the way for him to say himself towards you. Such openness may even result in an understanding of each other and most the forms of misunderstanding that may breed resentment.

It is through some of these busy routines that little meaningful acts and actuations are quite easily overlooked in expressions of care and appreciation. Enjoyment in the simple moments like cooking together, sipping a cup of coffee, or unwinding at home is what you will find in strengthening your bond. Such acts help in developing a sense of bonding much deeper.

A happy marriage should not stick to each other every moment. They must respect the space and pursuit of individual hobbies of their spouse. That freedom for each other to grow individually creates a healthy dynamic that specifies the quality of time spent together.

Kindness and patience often are the first things to fade when it is a stressful time. A happy marriage thrives with a conscious effort to be compassionate with your partner as you would treat a dear friend. Everybody has days that are less than great, and kindness above all can really ease those moments.

Romance is not grand romantic gestures or special events, but it is the nurturing of that bond that made you two join in the first place. Little gestures such as holding hands, a sweet note, and planning tiny surprise after surprise for one another keep the romance lively and going. A successful marriage thrives on mutual efforts to keep love fresh and pulsating.
