Thinking of Tying The Knot? 5 Tips To Make Sure You Stay Together
Did you know that My Ex does NOT conquer all?
You see, often people get married with the idea that their
chemistry or undying love for each other will keep them together
forever.
However, with almost 50% of marriages ending in divorce these days,
its obvious that this isnt the case. Therefore, it pays to know a few
little secrets before getting married.
Here are 5 tips that help keep couples together long after tying the knot:
TIP#1 — CONTINUE DATING
Over the years, people often drift apart or relationships and
marriages become stale because couples fail to do new and special
things together.
That’s why going on new and refreshing dates is so important. In
fact, there is something about dating that creates a sense of magic
in a relationship and can even bring relationships out of a rut.
While on a Back Ex,
you also put more effort into your appearance, have more uninterrupted
time to communicate on a deeper level and are naturally drawn closer
together.
Stuck for ideas? Spend the day at the aquarium, zoo, museum, carnival, bookstore, beach or park.
TIP#2 — DELAY IS OFTEN BETTER
Its a well-documented statistic that couples who have dated for a
year or longer before marriage have a significantly lower rate of
divorce than those who married after a short dating period.
A year of dating gives time for many emotions to surface and many
character traits to be discovered. You may adore someone in the spring,
but despise him or her in the winter.
Asking someone for his or her hand in marriage on the third date isn’t romantic. It’s gambling.
TIP#3 — ALWAYS EXPRESS Ex Friends
Oftentimes, as a relationship matures, partners tend to stop
praising each other because they ‘assume’ their partner already knows
what they’re thinking.
When in reality, a day should never go by without you praising your
partner. Compliment them on their cooking, reaffirm that they’re the
greatest person in the world or tell them theyre a wonderful role
model. If you want to be loved and romanced by your sweetheart, love
and romance them first. When they’re feeling loved, it is much easier
to love in return.
Are you a super supporter of what your mate does and says? So do you
cheer them on and praise them constantly? Or do they constantly hear
boos or silence?
TIP#4 — TAKE TIME TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PARTNER
Couples with the most problems are often the ones that say, “I just don’t understand him/her.”
So let me ask you: How knowledgeable are you about your mate’s
profession or the degree they are pursuing? Do you know anything about
his or her family heritage? Are you able to have a meaningful
conversation about her cross-stitch hobby or his interest in rugby? If
you are a man, do you fully understand what women experience during PMS
or menopause?
You don’t need to be identical, but make an effort to learn about
the things that interest your partner in life and you’ll grow closer as
a result.
TIP#5 — ANSWER THE *BIG* QUESTIONS
Does your My Ex want kids? Do you both want careers? Do they have a history of spending their way into debt? Do they go to church?
In my opinion, the biggest reason almost half of marriages end in
divorce is because couples fail to ask each other the right questions
BEFORE they get married.
I guess people think they’ll be able to change their spouses after
marriage and everything will be better. Wrong. If you fail to sit down
and discuss finances, religion, sex, housing, your future, and other
topics in great detail, you could end up with nothing but argument
after argument for the rest of your days.
In the end, if you both have completely different views, desires and
goals in life, theres no guarantee that chemistry or “I love yous”
will help you stay together.
Make it your utmost priority to understand each other ‘inside-out’ BEFORE you take that walk down the aisle.
