When you are in love, all you can think about is how life would be when you get married. Now that you have finally walked down the aisle and are now husband and wive, you realize that many things have changed. In order for the marriage to continue to work, and for it to last a lifetime, there are things you will have to do. These are important in order to strengthen your relationship with your spouse.
Work and other responsibilities may make you want to spend any free time together. However, you also need to give each other space. This space should be to spend time with friends, or do things that they enjoy. This is important in order for the marriage to work. Trying to spend every free time together, may make one or the other feel suffocated.
While you want to give each other space, you do not want to give too much space to the point of neglecting one another. You still want to find time to do things that you can enjoy together. Even if this is once a week or every two weeks, you should go out to a nice dinner and a movie. This should be time away from the kids, in order to focus on your relationship.
In order for a relationship to work, there has to be communication. When you are upset with your partner, or he has done something to upset you, then talk to him. Let him know what bugged you so that they know not to do it again. If you do not communicate, your partner will simply see you upset over anything, for no valid reason. This will cause a small problem to become bigger than it has to be.
One rule to always live by is, do not do to your partner what you do not want done to you. For example if you meet a co-worker of the opposite sex, and you start talking frequently on the phone, then put yourself in your spouses shoes. If they were the ones who made a new friend of the opposite sex, ask yourself if it would bother you. If it does, then you know it would bother your partner, and should not do it.
It is important to learn to compromise when you are in a relationship. Once you get married, you are no longer living for yourself, but for your spouse as well. You have to consider your spouse and their needs and feelings. You will have to learn to give a little, just as they will also have to do the same. This is something that will strengthen a relationship.
These are things that will strengthen your marriage. It is easy to neglect one another when the responsibilities and stress of everyday life get in the way. It is important, however to find time to remind each other how you feel for each other. This will allow you to remain happy with one another, for many years to come.
