Improve Your Marriage - "The Key to a Solid Marriage"

"The Key to a Solid Marriage"

"Never go to bed angry" is a clich that we always hear. This has proven to be very sound advice, and is a motto that many couples live by.

Marriage is the ultimate consummation for two people who are in love. Your wedding is not the "happy ending" to your love story, instead, it is just the beginning of your life together.

For a married couple who is just starting out, petty fights and arguments
can not be avoided. The first few years of your marriage will be the test if to determine if you can actually "live" with each other's bad or annoying habits. The strength of your love for each other will serve as the "building block" of the rest of your years together.

During petty fights, it is good to remember that having an argument is natural. You and your spouse

are two different people and you can expect your individual personalities to clash.

Here are some ways you and your spouse, as a married couple, can
strengthen your bond and improve your marriage:

1. Fight if you need to.

This is when the rule mentioned above will apply. As a couple, you
will have arguments, disagreements, and conflicts of interest. Even a
minor thing like household chores can lead to disagreements..

The key to a 'healthy' argument is to get everything out in the open.

Take a look at this example. During a quarrel the husband may be given the
'cold' shoulder by his wife. The wife thinks that her spouse is not being
sensitive enough when it comes to her needs. He is caught totally unaware, but when he tries to confront the issue head-on his wife gives him the 'silent treatment'. Eventually, their marriage will crumble because the anger on both sides is not dissipated. The wife was not able to let off 'steam' because she kept everything bottled up inside.

In this case, it is better if you bluntly confront the problem. Argue
and fight if you need to.

At first, the two of you will be angry enough to confront each other. After
you get everything out in the open, sound reasoning will rule and calmness will follow.

After the storm, the two of you should be reasonable enough to listen to each other then come up with a solution and make up. Do not worry, this may not always be the case,. Your love for each other and the foundation that the two of you have established since you were married should help patch things up.

Just remember to avoid keeping your feelings all bottled up inside. If you do this, past hurts will return and might eventually cause a huge argument that will be even harder to resolve.

2. Wipe the slate clean once you make up.

After the fight, make sure that you both know what started the argument
In the first place.

You and your spouse might have entirely different reasons for being angry.
Listen to each other and determine what caused the other to hurl accusations or hurtful words. If you are a husband exerting your 'authority' over your wife, she should know the way that you feel.

If your spouse was hurt by something that you did not actually mean to
do. Try to explain that you would never intentionally do anything to cause her to be hurt or angry. This leads to the basis and foundation of your marriage which is mutual love and respect, and you could eventually patch things up.

3. Do not be afraid to admit if you are wrong.

Pride in marriage has a very expensive price to pay. Do not put this pride between you and your spouse. If you are in the wrong, do not be afraid to admit it, then apologize.

Remember that you are together in spite of your individual differences. Go
back to what brought you together in the first place and you can never go wrong.

By practicing these things and making it a habit to settle your fights
before going to bed, you will have a solid and stable marriage that
is based on trust and love.
