The longer people are married, the stronger their relationship should be. But all over the world, a completely opposite picture can be observed: long and lasting alliances are rare, strong and happy are more often the exception than the rule.
Instructions
Step 1
Respect each other. You can enter into marriage not for love, or love will grow cold over time, but if there is respect between people, then they will be able to behave respectfully, talk and act. Respect will help smooth out differences in your views and tastes, as well as encourage you to make concessions and take care of your life partner.
Step 2
Consider your needs. Each person has their own preferences. That without which one is happy, the other cannot represent life. Therefore, there is no need to remake your spouse "for yourself" - it is pointless, because an adult is formed and cannot be different. Moreover, such attempts only escalate the atmosphere in marriage, and do not contribute to happiness. Accept and accept your partner's priorities, and he will respond in kind.
Step 3
Do not find fault. Constant remarks, barbs, advice and reproaches will instill in your soul mate a sense of worthlessness and will destroy from the inside. If something does not suit you, then gently say why and how you feel. This approach will show your respect and encourage your spouse to consider your wishes and be better.
Step 4
Provide freedom. No matter how close the relationship in marriage, everyone should have "their own territory." This means that it is quite normal to sometimes rest separately and spend free time at your own pleasure. It also includes such nuances as not reading letters and messages addressed to the spouse, not checking his phone, bag and pockets. Of course, the granting of freedom implies trust, which each of the spouses must justify.
Step 5
Praise and give thanks. Praise will motivate you to do more for you, and gratitude will show that your efforts are noticed and appreciated. What else does a loving and caring person need ?!
Step 6
Control your emotions. Often in families all the negativity accumulated during the day is thrown out, but this is wrong. Learn to calmly express your emotions so that they do not disturb the peace of your soul mate. This is especially important for women to remember, since their depressed state oppresses men - they feel their failure and guilt for your condition. Don't let them feel that way.
