#1. You must be a good listener as your partner communicates with you. Even if you felt carried away by something else, show concern with affirmative signs that you’re with him or her. Nobody will want to continue talking when they know that the person they are talking to doesn’t appreciate their talking together or suggestions.

#2. For your marriage to be happy and successful, there must be regular Communication which must be shared equally (50/50). This is particularly important since marriages grapple with many external pressures, from the strain of social media comparisons to financial challenges and the quest for work-life balance. By having open communication, setting mutual boundaries, and jointly strategizing to navigate these modern-day stressors, you can ensure your bond remains unshaken amidst external tumults.

#3. It is a must that you understand each other emotional makeup and shortcomings, when you do this, you’ll know how to appreciate your spouse even when they feel angry, down, or upset.

#4. Don’t ever jump to conclusion even if you know much more than your partner, allow his or her input, and hear from your spouse first before your conclusion. That will show that you give them consideration before making your decision or conclusion.

#5. Just as point number 4 above, it is necessary you consult with your Mate before making any family or Personal Decision. It is much more appreciative in this way than you solely making the family decision.

#6. Learn to settle issues mostly in cool evenings or late nights. If things still do not work out, try to wake your partner in the middle of the night if and only if your partner is not the type that doesn’t play with sleep. I know some people can’t sleep when they have issues bugging their minds, but you have to endure it till the early morning, make your spouse that very early in the morning to discuss things. Another day sun must not shine on your misunderstanding or grudge, it will continue to build up if you allow that and when it is eventually busted, you’ll hate your marriage.
