How nice it is to meet an optimistic elderly couple on the street!
They smile, hold hands, talk enthusiastically about something and... are still in love with each other.
Many people prefer to break off relations at the initial stage, having experienced the first difficulties. What is the secret of a strong marriage?
Be open
Mutual understanding does not come immediately. There is no need to pretend to be someone else, to hide desires and fears from your partner.
It is also important to discuss plans for the future and ingrained views on life in advance. Everyday habits are easy to change, but an established worldview is problematic. It is necessary to understand what to expect from the current relationship in the future - development or a quick end.
Moderate selfishness
Relationships are the responsibility of two people. Both invest in them and both receive a return. The usual "I" is replaced by a proud "we".
During heated arguments, it is recommended to look at the situation through the eyes of your partner, putting yourself in his place.
Keep Faithful
By deciding to have an "affair", a person wastes himself. Even if a fleeting affair is perfectly secret and has no direct evidence, the chosen one will still feel a change in behavior.
The traitor himself will be irritable, being "between two fires". Only a few are capable of maintaining a relationship after such betrayal.
Moreover, the official preservation of relations does not guarantee their further strength.
Give your partner personal space
Trust in a couple is possible only in relationships based on love and mutual respect. Wise spouses understand that the other half has their own hobbies, a need for privacy and, on the contrary, communication with friends. By depriving a partner of these joys, you can quickly turn into a tyrant.
Delegate responsibilities
One of the most common reasons for divorce is a boring routine. Living together should be easier than living apart.
Every adult is capable of preparing food, cleaning the house and looking after a common child.
Never stop developing yourself
A common mistake made by newlyweds is that they stop taking care of themselves. This unpleasant tendency is observed among representatives of both sexes.
A stamp in your passport does not mean that a period of relaxation has come. Keep your figure in good shape, develop in your profession, have a hobby and remain an interesting person.
Stay optimistic
Difficulties fear strong people, but it is optimism that inspires a person to new achievements.
There is no need to be afraid of failures, invent non-existent problems and become despondent. Only a positively minded person is able to bring relationships to a high level.
Most people dream of a happy long-term relationship, but few think about how to build it. A new acquaintance is only the first step to creating a couple.
The ability to listen to your partner, to sacrifice something for the sake of compromise, to discuss desires and problems - these are the things that will help achieve mutual understanding.
