10 Tips To Help You Make Your Marriage A Success!

Where has all the love gone? Why is it one cannot feel the same way towards the spouse after years of marriage? Where is the ardor, the commitment and the caring ways that defined the relationship in the beginning? If you can find answers to these questions, you can also save your crumbling marriage!
Here are some helpful hints to aid you in the endeavor of saving your marriage.

1. Believe in sweet nothings; no it is not asinine and boring to express affection, years after marriage. Write notes expressing appreciation for little acts of kindness by your spouse. Say "I love you!" at least once in a day. Believe in "A hug a day keeps misunderstanding away."

2. Spend quality time together; take holidays when you can afford the time; spend at least half an hour a day listening to your spouse when he/she wants to share feelings, thoughts and ideas; speak about your dreams, your fears and your problems; help each other out in solving problems

3. Go on a date at least once a month. Dressing up for your spouse can rekindle the past enthusiasm you felt in each others company. Making yourself look attractive to your spouse is half the battle won in saving the marriage.

4. Communicate openly. Open discussion with patience can help in resolving most problems. Lend a patient ear to your spouse and make him/her feel you are there with them with genuine support. Never close the communication channel as it can widen the gap further.

5. If there has been cheating, then honesty is the only virtue that will help you both tide over the issue. Speak openly and listen as a friend would to what your spouse has to say.

6. Be generous and unbiased when you consider events; in the face of both partners sincerely wishing to begin afresh, a lot of positive attitude and cheerful camaraderie can come in handy too.

7. Be brave enough to admit when you are wrong and reassure your spouse about your companionship and forgiveness.

8. Stop the blame game or talking about each other's past mistakes and be willing to mend past mistakes.

9. Admit frankly to each other how important it is to you to make the marriage a success.

10. Keep the physical intimacy intact as a right touch can convey a lot of things that words fail to.

Children, work, the desire to excel in a career, running your home and other social commitments are all the issues that need your time, effort, commitment and attention.

How well you can weave in the quality time you want to spend with your spouse with all these issues is a direct indicator of how successfully you can save your marriage.

You just need to be informed and follow the right techniques and avoid the turmoil of tackling it all on your own. Make a commitment and start now.
