Rules for a Happy Married Life: Be a Happy Couple that Lived happily Ever After

Married life may be full of complications for those who are not aware of the rules to keep the marriage working. Staying happily married is not rocket science. These rules are really simple and the best part is that you and your partner will have great fun following them.

Here are some simple yet effective rules for a happy married life:

* Your idea of a happy, peaceful life:

Do you have your own idea for a perfectly happy and peaceful married life? If yes, then what is it? Jot down the things that will make the marriage a happy and fulfilling. Once you do this, you need to start contributing towards your mission.

For instance, if you expect your partner to respect you, care for you and do some wonderful things for you then you need to do the same. You partner will definitely appreciate your efforts and do what you expect. Being a giver before expecting is the key to happy married life.

* Communicate well:

More than half of the problems in marriage creep in because couples are not able to give messages to each other clearly.

Your communication should be effective enough to let your partner understand what you want to convey. Strictly avoid talking indirectly or passing sarcastic comments to your partner. Coming straight to the point will help him/ her speak to you comfortably.

* Listen to your partner:

This is very important. Understand that your partner wants to tell you something. Listening to him/ her even if you disagree will make him/ her feel good. This shows that you care. Listen to your partner fully before you put your views forth.

* To err is human: 

All human beings have a tendency to err and possess imperfection including you and your partner. The sooner you understand this, the better.

You should not keep your expectations high when expecting certain things from your partner. He or she is not an ideal creation of the almighty. Your partner is just a human being like you. If you can err, he/ she too can!

* Common hobby:

Find out whether you and your partner have a hobby in common. Once you do this try spending a few hours together on a weekend indulging in that hobby. You may not have realized but pursuing common hobbies can revive and refresh married life. This is also one of the best ways you can understand your partner.

* Appreciate:

How many times have you appreciated your partner? When did you praise your partner last time? If you don’t remember then you are not making adequate efforts to keep your marriage alive.

People love getting compliments. Don’t you? Find opportunities to praise and appreciate your partner. This will definitely take your relationship a long way.

* Surprise your partner:

Make sure you surprise your partner time and again by doing nifty things. Shower your partner with gifts; drop a note in his car saying you love him/ her etc. This will make your partner realize how much you love him/ her.
