As a love and relationship coach, people often assume that I only deal with helping people to fix problems in their relationships but my line of work goes much deeper than that. In fact, one of my favorite things about this profession is that I am able to extend a helping hand to people who would like to know how to strengthen and protect their relationships.
We’ve grown up in a society where we aren’t taught much about how to maintain healthy relationships. When you think about it, you realize that Hollywood and Disney movies have made us assume that relationships and marriages just stay magical without you having to do anything.
The reality is quite different. We all face challenges and ups and downs in our relationships, and the key to a successful marriage is going to be knowing how to anticipate problems, find solutions, and keep your relationship exciting.
That is why I’ve written this article for you on successful marriage tips. By the time you get to the end of it, you’ll know exactly what your marriage needs in order for both of you to remain happy together!
First of all, I want to applaud you for going out of your way to find useful information on how to have a successful marriage. So many people either make the mistake of assuming that their relationship isn’t going to need any maintenance, or they turn a blind eye to the issues their relationship faces.
Here’s the thing, like anything of value, a marriage is going to require time and investment. It WILL require maintenance. All too often I see relationships falling into routines that feel monotonous and predictable. Unfortunately, the result is that the couple starts to drift apart.
This is often when we see people start to get tired of the relationship and tensions will arise. In some cases, this is when a person will start to look outside of the marriage for some love and excitement and you can imagine what kind of problems this creates.
My intention is not to scare you; it is to show you how great it is that you’ve made the decision to be proactive and seek out successful marriage tips. There are three pillars that I want to go over with you, so let’s take a look.
If you want your marriage to remain strong and fulfilling for both of you, there are three things that you’re going to have to keep in mind:
Communication + Empathy + Innovation
For some people, communication comes really easily whereas, for others, it’s rather challenging. Empathy is another thing that many people take for granted, and they don’t realize the vital role it plays in healthy marriages.
And last but not least, we have “innovation.” I know this might seem a little unclear to some of you reading this right now, but I am going to expand on it in just a moment.
I cannot stress the importance of this enough. So many people make the mistake of assuming that their significant other can just read minds and should always know what’s wrong or what they need. This is the root of so many problems!
If you can learn how to first, cultivate an environment in your marriage that makes both people feel safe to fully express themselves, and second, practice talking openly with your partner, you will be able to strengthen your relationship like never before.
Sometimes people don’t feel like they can say what they need to say and this makes things feel tense. Then important things are left unsaid, they end up feeling frustrated, and they might even start to hold on to resentment.
There are so many tools and exercises available to you to dive deeper into learning proper communication skills that will benefit your relationship, and I encourage you to read this article! In it, you will find in-depth details on how to master it and make your relationship thrive as a result.
How to keep your husband attracted to you: Here’s what you need to know!
Learning how to put yourself in your partner’s shoes will create a big shift in your relationship. Not only will it help you to anticipate and avoid problems, but it will also help your spouse to feel understood and cherished.
This is not a skill that comes naturally to all of us, so it may take some practice. Fortunately, the more mindful you are of it, the more natural it becomes.
I encourage you to pay attention to how your actions could affect your partner (both positively and negatively), and challenge yourself to be aware of these things on a regular basis.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you know your partner better than anyone, so you know how you can surprise him or her! Empathy plays a huge role in this and this brings me to my next point.
As I was saying above, it’s all too easy to fall into the routine. You settle into your relationship and subconsciously, you start to feel like you don’t need to go out of your way to woo your significant other anymore.
You’re already married to each other so it’s all good, right? Well, no, actually. When things start to feel too routine or lackluster in a relationship, it becomes very easy for a person to start to feel neglected or even bored. So it’s up to both of you to think outside of the box and surprise each other!
Think about what kind of new things you two can share, what new places you can check out together, dedicate time to each other and continue to date! You can still have so much fun together if you make the effort to do so!
Remember, communication, empathy and innovation… But there is one more little gem that I would like to share with you, and this is something that often gets neglected. When you want to know how to have a successful marriage, you have to remember to cultivate your personal life.
Your spouse cannot be the center of your universe because that can lead to a serious imbalance. You should both be cultivating your personal lives and then when you spend time together, you will have even more to share. On top of that, you’ll be building your own sense of happiness and well being.
The more you do the things that bring you joy, the better you will be feeling about your life, and this is something that plays a huge role in a happy and healthy marriage.
