Marriage is a beautiful commitment if you choose the right person. Marrying my best friend was my best life decision.
So here are my Nine preachings ☺️ from nine years of togetherness.
1. There's no such thing as a perfect marriage. You eventually learn to live with, expect,ignore, sort out and even enjoy the imperfections..!🎊
2."Don't marry someone you can live with, Marry someone you cannot live without "
WRONG.
Marry someone you can talk to.♥️
I cannot stress this enough.
After 9 years there may not be new or interesting topics to discuss .But we know we can talk endlessly for hours and not get bored.. (Or I can talk and he can listen) 😃
(As for the "cannot live without " part, as someone rightly said..in a healthy relationship your partner should be your want, not your need).
3. Respect each other's differences and opinions. It is not necessary to agree on every little thing. As long as you are on the same page with important stuff like parenting, finances etc the other things don't matter much in the long run. However, respect is a must.
4. Laugh. The goal is to laugh forever with someone you can take seriously.
Laughing at the same jokes, sharing a "yeah, I know" look in the midst of a crowd... it's priceless! 😊 Having your inside jokes which doesn't need any further explanations are something everyone should experience.
Humor bonds you in an inexplicable way!
5. In every good marriage it pays sometimes to be a little deaf 🤣 🤣this might just be the most important one of them all ..!
VERY VERY IMPORTANT!! (You will thank me later for this).
6. Spend some quality time together. Just the two of you. Sometimes being a parent, a home maker makes being a couple take a backseat. A break from routine life once in a while is necessary.🥰 It doesn't have to be elaborate date nights. A simple meal just for your loved one in a way he likes it. Relish the meal together. Or discuss a movie/book together. It bonds you better than a date night.
7. Expect and accept change. People change, life changes. It may not be as exciting as before, however it is more stable and sorted as your relationship matures.😇
8. Be generous with compliments. Acknowlegde, Appreciate...Because c'mon, seriously who doesn't love some praise ??
9. Hold no grudges. By all means argue. An argument may end in an agreement or an impasse. However it is important that your feelings are out in the open for your spouse to see 😊 He or she may or may not understand but you should not hold on to that baggage.
Bonus Tip:
(Because it is difficult to stop talking/typing once you start doing it).
Enjoy the smaller moments. Because that is what makes your life memorable. After all we live once, enjoy your life with your partner and make it a happy one.
Happy 9th wedding Anniversary to us..!!🎉🎊🎂
