So you’re married and it’s gone stale. Everyone was right when they said the intimacy would taper off. Little did you know, it would completely stop. Did you ever take the time to stop and think why? Is there something you’re doing wrong or did you make the wrong decision to commit? Whatever the case may be, there is a remedy. Don’t just give up without trying- you may regret it later.
Marriage isn’t a walk in the park all the time but it shouldn’t be something that is a constant chore to maintain. If it is, there is a major problem. Here are a few simple rules to follow that will guarantee happy and healthy wedded bliss:
WORK AT YOUR RELATIONSHIP: If you remember one thing, remember this. Marriage is something you do, not something you get. It’s not a prize or a trophy. It’s a commitment that is to be treasured and nurtured. You need to love your partner daily, through good times and bad.
LEND A HAND: Man up when it comes to chores, it will pay off. Women love to see their man sweat. Rake the leaves or carry the laundry up for her. Simple things once in a while mean a lot in the long run.
CAREFULLY CHOOSE WHO YOU CONFIDE IN: When you just need someone to talk to, besides her, you go to your buddies, right? Keep in mind they are there to support you, not her, so make sure what you say won’t come back around to bite you in the ass when things have gone back to normal.
HOLD HANDS: It’s important to have that subtle daily contact. And she loves it that you care enough to do so.
DON’T TRY TO CHANGE HER: You don’t want to be changed, so don’t try to change her. In the end, you will regret all of the time and energy you wasted doing so.
APOLOGIZE: Sometimes you should be the one to say you’re sorry or you’re wrong. Even when you aren’t.
SURPRISE HER: Your life will be much happier if you do something nice for your partner at least once a week. Don’t have any expectations afterward- do it to be nice.
REMIND YOURSELF WHY YOU LOVE HER: Relationships aren’t always easy, so when times get tough, remind yourself why you chose her. It’s important to reflect on your decisions, especially the one you made to be with her.
FIGHT FAIR: Cruel words stay in one’s mind, unlike the cause of a quarrel. When you get angry, just fight fair. No name calling or belittling. It’s not nice to be condescending and women absolutely can’t stand that.
RESPECT THE IN-LAWS: I know, I know.. THE IN-LAWS. A dreaded topic in many marriages. You may not like them or vice verse, but it’s something you need to do for your wife. She deserves it and it’s a hell of a lot easier come holiday time!
These are not difficult tasks to stick to, so try them and you’ll be surprised how well they work. Your wife will be more responsive if she feels you are willing to help out, compromise and are willing to go the extra mile once in awhile to make her happy. It’s amazing what a little effort will accomplish.
