MARRIAGE: WHEN DATING GOES TOO FAR
Her hands still have the slightest traces of the henna adorned during her wedding ceremony and the fragrance of white roses is still majestic in their faded glory. The leftover wedding invitations still sit on the table weeks after the wedding got over. It has just been a few days and the couple had a fight over a petty issue that grew bigger. They think they are not fit for each other. Alas! It is not surprising to see so many marriages falling apart and the spark in their lives fading away into oblivion.
The rituals and customs no more seem as meaningful as they were when they got in a divine bond on the day of their wedding. It is relatively easier to have a fun and romantic courtship period, but you may worry that your marriage won’t last once the initial spark has died down. However, if you want to live a happy married life, then you have to work on keeping the friendship and romance alive and should try to help the bond grow deeper.
Work on continual growth- both with your partner and as an individual.
Sounds difficult? No, it’s not! It’s your own relationship after all. And it’s never really too late to bring the moon and stars down to the earth for your the love of your life!
HERE ARE 5 TIPS TO ADD SPARK TO YOUR MARRIED LIFE AND TAKING IT FAR BEYOND THE DATING DAYS:
DINNER DATES WITH YOUR MATE
Did you think that dating was only for those college students? Come on! You can also take your beloved out for a dinner date and enrich your married life with the memories you make on the date. Show what your partner means to you and how he/she brings essence to your life. Trust us, it will still be fun!
PREMARITAL SKILLS TRAINING
You can be taught what you were supposed to learn earlier; premarital education that can teach couples to handle conflict and support each other. You will have fewer chances of getting divorced and you will be less likely to be unhappy. These enrichment courses for couples who have been married can work wonders for their relationships. But if you yourself try and understand your partner, you probably won’t need any such course!
CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESSES TOGETHER
Every time your spouse achieves something in their personal or professional life, celebrate it. Perhaps throwing a party, not every time but once every few months and telling them that you are proud of them goes a long way in creating a successful marriage. Complement your spouse and feel the love flowing.
GO HOLIDAYING
Take your better half out to a beautiful place for a holiday. Create memories that you can treasure for the rest of your life. You will get to know each other more and will make the best out of your married life. The day the “selfies” are seen again, the memories of the good old times will come rushing back and bring a smile on your face.
SAY I LOVE YOU
So many people go without saying something as basic as an “I Love You” and if you have never said it then you are wasting your married life! Don’t ever think that you don’t have to say “I love you” because your partner already knows how you feel about him/her. Make an effort to tell your partner how much you love him or her at least once a day and notice the happiness these words will bring in your life. No wonder these are called the three magical words because of their ability to weave a magical spell on your lives!
Marriage is a two way path of getting closer to each other comprising of the mutual efforts to stay together. Do your part and the rest will be done by the Love in your relationship. And that is why it is called as the most wonderful feeling in the world!
