I never knew what marriage is actually all about when I got married to my wife. I thought since we truly and sincerely love each other genuinely, then it's enough to be in a marriage, but I was totally wrong. I have thought about it several times and concluded that I was wrong.
Yes, I love her deep down in my heart and she does the same to me as well, but frankly speaking, marriage is more than just confessing love to your partner. Dear friend, marriage is not as you see it; it's deeper than you have known, and you will discover more when you get married.
So now, based on experience, I want to let you know the things that will make you happy in your marriage at all times. It helped me; even though individually we are all different in so many things, at the same time there are things that can actually work for everyone.
1. You must be tolerant. Yes, I said must, and that's how it should be. Hope you know that your partner can get angry even at something you didn't imagine would make him or her angry? If you are not tolerant, there will be fights and quarrels all the time in your home. You must be tolerant and overlook things even if you have the opportunity to caution the person. Not every action from your partner toward you deserves a response because there are some where your response can ignite trouble and some where your silence and tolerance will ignite peace and happiness in your marriage.
2. Always be patient. This one as well is mandatory. I must believe that you are aware that everyone does not have the same learning ability. So, just because you are a fast learner should not make you always put your lover under pressure to adapt; you must be patient with each other. You know, in marriage, even in a relationship, we learn new things about romance and intimacy every day, right?
So, when you have new ideas or have learned something new for the sake of your home, don't be in a hurry and put your partner under pressure to adapt; please be patient.
3. Forgiveness. Wow, this is another important thing in marriage. When I met my wife—I mean while dating—she openly told me that she has a hot temper. This happened while we were asking questions to know ourselves better. I have a hot temper too, but as the man I am, I decided to be in control, so I learned how to accommodate her while creating room for forgiveness. Are you surprised what concerns hot temper and forgiveness? Are you not aware that someone who is hot-tempered can say hurting words, can act violently, and even destroy things? If you can't forgive and control things, your house could be emotionally on fire.
Forgiveness should be inevitable in your marriage because every one of us has verbal power. Many times this verbal power is expressed in anger; sometimes it is even something you didn't commit that the anger is channeled against you. If you don't know how to forgive, I tell you that your marriage will not last up to a year and it will break into pieces.
These things have truly helped me out so that until now I am happily married. If your partner is facing any of these things I said, I implore you to take action: help the person out, and pray for him or her to heal fast.
Please be informed that by helping the person, you are making efforts for him or her to be the person you want them to be in the marriage.
