KEEPING YOUR MARRIAGE FOR LONG



  Marriage is a lifelong contract and everyone should see it that way,the moment you begin to see it from another angle,then there is problem. Marriage is full of ups and downs but,when there are downs,we have to find a way to be creative like the artist and comes out strong to be able to last long. It is about two people coming together to be one and these two people are coming from different backgrounds. One cannot assume that the other person knows every rights and wrongs,that is where problem comes. You should know that your partner is not all in all and he/she is not above above mistake. So,you should have it in mind that when mistake comes,you need to resolve it immediately. It is unfortunate that a lot of homes have prematurely crashed because of one or the other reasons. I will like to mention some points which I think will help you keep your marriage strong, if you can apply them,they will be of utmost important to keep your marriage strong. 

 1.RESPECT YOUR PARTNER;The kind of respect with which you started during the courtship should continue. It is certain that everybody wants to be respected whether young or old,so your partner is not exception.Respect your partner always and you will see how strong your marriage will be.

 2.SHOW GENUINE LOVE; If there is genuine love,you will not disrespect your spouse.With love,all things are possible.Love will make your home strong and there will be no unnecessary arguments which mostly cause problems in marriage. Give each others gifts, especially the kind of gift that will be a surprise to your spouse. It makes the feelings for each others more stronger.

3.PATIENCE; Do you know you can actually cook stone with patience? If your partner is a easy to anger type,you need to show patience when he/she is fuming,be calm and compose. If you think what you are saying is making him/her more angry,stop saying it or don't talk more until the anger comes down. After the anger comes down,some hours after, let him/her understand the point you are trying to pass across and resolve matters immediately, your partner will also reason with you if you present your point in a respectful manners. Never try to raise your voice at the same time with your partner so that things don't get complicated. 

4. APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR MISTAKES; Learn to say sorry if you are at fault and learn to tolerate each others every time,that is what can keep your marriage strong. That simple word ''sorry'' is very strong,learn to say it because it doesn't kill you and it will only mend things.

 5.RESOLVE CONFLICTS QUICKLY; It is very important to resolve any misunderstanding immediately especially on the same day.Don't be quick to tell people about your partner's wrong doings,make effort to resolve things first. If you can't resolve it,you can ask advice from parents or religious leader.
