Five things it takes to have a successful Marriage
The first and most important is love for your significant other. If there is no love then the relationship is doomed. Like the saying goes I love his dirty draws, is one a lot of women use to show how much they care for their man. When the vows are said there is some validity that has to go along with the words that come out your mouth. I know sometimes you want to go off on your spouse, or say why did we get married. The proper response after you calm down is because you love them. Think of the good times, or her smile, or his brown eyes, what ever made you fall in love in the first place. Remember if there is no love their will be no peace in that household.
Respect
Second, and just as important as the first one, is to have geuinue respect for one another. You can not live with a person for all those years and not have respect for them.
Never do something that is a couple's thing without asking your spouse if they want to participate. You are setting yourself up for failure, and will cause ripples in the relationship. To show respect means to not call them out of their name when you have a disagreement. Remember that commercial that came on T.V. back in the day, where it said something like "words can be used as a form of abuse", that statement is so true. Many people are told what they can't do compared to what they can. Show respect and demand it from your spouse, and remember words hurt.
Honesty
Be honest when it comes to finances, sex, religion, and politics. You don't want to wake up with an empty bank account and your spouse gone. When there is trouble in the relationship, you want everything out on the table, because what is done in the dark will come to light. Don't hide money, because you may become ill and can't tell anyone where the money is and that could be the difference between life and death. You never want to marry someone who has a different political or religious view from yours. These are some of the issues that can cause for all the above things we mentioned before not to happen. If you can't be honest with the one you lay next to every night then who are you ever going to trust?
Purpose
The relationship should have a purpose and long term goals to accomplish. One example is having babies; you both have to be on the same page before you say I do before God. Raising the kids should be done together and not by just one person in the relationship, discipline should not be a spur of the moment decision, it should be thought out and talked about between the two of you. Did you just hear what I just said the two of you, not his family or her family, some decisions you have to make regardless of what the extended family think. Do things together and have a plan to go somewhere without the kids or other people. It's called us time, so you can rekindle the flame and date your spouse over and over again. Stick by your spouse, and remember the other successful tips.
Dedication
Be a dedicated husband or wife to the union. Spend time with the kids, balance those hours or activities between the little ones. Try to treat everyone fair, and study your kids to know what they like and what they are expecting from you. Your daughter might just want you to say you like her outfit or how she is getting good grades, the son might just want you to just listen to him sing or play a video or board game with him. Be dedicated to showing your family how to love, men don't be afraid to hug your son and give him a kiss. Women tell your daughter the real reason why the dress she wants to wear is inappropriate, don't sugar coat that you were once where she is, and be tactful and respectful of your daughter's feelings. Sometimes you have to give up your pleasures to make sure others have a good time. You have to be dedicated to your family succeed.
