Five Tips for a Happy Marriage

Humans have become the most successful species on the planet due to our intricate social networks and use of communication. However, contemporary relationships have evolved to become much more complex than mere hunter and gatherer societies and can sometimes feel exhausting. This blog will help provide tips and pointers to increase happiness and fluidity for one of the most important relationships of all, romantic relationships.


A relationship typically consists of two individuals that come together to create a close bond and trust for one another. The success of these relationships relies on the self-confidence, independence, and happiness that each person feels towards themselves. To experience happiness in a relationship, we must find our own happiness first through personal hobbies, self-exploration, and appreciation for the life we are provided. If these areas are lacking, then an individual may expect all of their happiness to come from their partner which creates high standards and pressure on them. The next tip goes hand-in-hand with independence, as couples come together at the end of a day and are prepared to listen to each other. It is important to have healthy conversation, which involves partners that listen with their hearts and pay attention to the details of their spouse’s words.


After listening to your partner, you will learn many things about them including preferences, hobbies, and passions that can be used in communication to show them that you understand what is important to them. This demonstrates love, consideration, and appreciation for your partner and activities they enjoy. You can also communicate that you care about them through behaviors, by picking up chores around the house that they express dislike towards. It is important to have acceptance of your partner for who they are by supporting them through flaws or low points, as relationships are not always going to feel perfect all the time. Instead of being annoyed with your partner, focus on the positive traits and remain optimistic about what the future may hold.

A final note, take responsibility for any wrong decisions, unthoughtful actions, and failures in the relationship which may be based on your own behaviors. It is not easy to take accountability, but it is the first step towards repairing the damage that was created. Your partner wants acknowledgment that a mistake was made, and although it may feel uncomfortable at first, it will strengthen your emotional connection.
