How to get married,stay married
How I did it: It took many years and many tries before I got it right.
But once you get there, it is the pinnacle of happiness! And no matter how much is wrong in the world, as long as you have someone at your side to love you and support you the way you are, everything is fine in life!
Lessons & tips: The number one thing in ANY relationship is TRUST.
If you don't trust your partner, and they don't trust you, there is no relationship, PERIOD.
Trust is the foundation in which to build upon and is what will pull you in moments of hardship and need.
I am not talking about trusting blindly, but trusting someone who trusts you just as much as you trust them!
2nd thing to always keep in mind: COMPROMISE!! Don't always expect to get your
way!! Even if you know you could because your partner loves you enough
to let you!
Always compromise! Don't expect the other person to give in to you all
the time just because they love you! You must give in just as much!!
Otherwise the relationship is not even, and that makes it unbalanced.
Walk the same paths and look towards the same goals.
Communication - Have good communication between each other! Don't assume anything! Always make sure everything is clear and understood between each other.
Acceptance - Learn to accept the person you are with, their errors, mistakes, and faults. Don't get together with someone and expect them to change after the wedding! Chances are you will end disappointed, angry, and frustrated
Patience - No one is perfect, so have patience! Learn to work things out instead of expecting the other person to fix it "because they love you". A strong relationship takes time.
Love - Love yourself as much or more than you love each other, share that love with those around you, and always make sure to let the other person know how much they are loved, how much they mean to you, and how special they make you feel.
Resources: Observe those couples who you admire, see how they behave towards each other, learn.
