Ask anyone that's been married for more than a minute and they'll tell you; marriage is a tricky thing. There are the obvious pitfalls like when to buy a home, how to share your money, and the big one; when do you start a family. Those are all true and fine, but to me (and most men would agree with this) the challenge of a marriage comes in the little things. The day to day ins and outs of sharing a space with someone who, in most cases, is the exact opposite of everything you are. Sophia and I were like that. We met back when we were both young; she a college freshmen and me a college waste of time. It was her smile that attracted me first, I think. It had this little twist to it, that said she knew more than most and that she was keeping …show more content…
Rule 5: Never, ever wake your AC in the morning. It is best to let them arise on their own and to get started with their day of shuffling and moaning at their own pace -- not yours! Rule 6: Humor is your best friend. ACs love the sound of laughter and it will generally distract them from eating you long enough to defuse whatever situation you're in. (Tip: It is always good to keep a small container of goat brains with you in case of emergency) Most of what we discuss in the PACS meetings turned out to be helpful and some of it not so much. Some things they had never thought of and couldn't be found in any manual (I don't even want to get started about how difficult man and wife relations are), but I did the best I could and each day I woke up with my brains intact so I guess I must have been doing something right. We're going on our second five year anniversary now, although most of our family and friends still insist we're not going to make it (well actually they say I'M not going to make it). When I hear that kind of stuff I usually sigh and go back to what I was saying at the beginning; marriage is a tricky thing. It takes a lot of working around the small things to make it without tripping up or getting eaten --
Above all, to have a successful marriage, the couple must love unconditionally. Love covers a multitude of mistakes and wrong doings. No one is perfect, so don’t expect your spouse to be. Spouses should show their partner the type of love they would like to receive.
So how can the happy couple ensure a happy marriage? A lot of advice has already come their way, some which may be of use, some of it may not. For me, the key appears to be understanding women and how they communicate. I've always found the following a good guide: If the word "nothing" is uttered, this actually means "something" and you should be on your to...
In The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work there are seven myths and seven real truths about marriage. The first myth is that neuroses or personality problems will ruin a marriage. The truth about that myth is that we all have our crazy buttons or issues we’re not totally rational about, but they don't necessarily interfere with marriage. The key to a happy marriage isn't having a "normal" personality, but finding someone with whom you get along with. The second myth is that common interests keep you together. The truth is that it is a plus to have common interests with someone, but is all depends on how you interact with the other person while pursuing those interests. The third myth is the saying "You scratch my back and .....". The real truth about this myth is that it is only a truly unhappy marriage where this quid pro quo operates, where each partner feels the need to tally up things the other partner did. Married couples should just do things for one another because it feels positive to them and their spouse. If you keep score in marriage it shows there is an area of tension in your marriage.
Successful marriages can only be down when the couples build a solid foundation of a healthy and long lasting relationship. One can build a foundation by compromising of common set of core value, interests they both share in the long run. Without the foundation, marriages fail to reach the goals or expectations from their partner.
another gem espoused by the Apostle Paul. In Philippians, Paul gives direction on how one should go about looking for the good in one another. He says this: “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think of these things.” (Phil 4:8) In other words, married couples should dwell on the positive aspects of each other as opposed to constantly thinking about the things they dislike about each other. One simple way the Zamora’s can dwell within the positive instead of the negative is for both of them to come up with a written list of all the things they like about each other. They
It’s important to understand your partners history and expectations before getting married. Learning about your spouse’s history and about what they want in a future will help you to be able to know if you have similar expectations. Knowing the qualities that you would like to incorporate in your family will give you a greater knowledge of what to expect in a future. Being able to talk about rules or goals for your family is very beneficial to your future.
A good marriage is like fine wine, don 't you think? I thought so. Some characteristics of a good marriage are: ownership and hope and empathy and forgiveness and commitment
Entering into marriage is a nerve-rackingly emotional, but exciting time in life that carries many expectations. Some of these expectations are healthy, as well as shared, in the partnership. However, there are other expectations that can be a source of division in the marriage if they are not handled correctly. Unspoken and unrealistic expectations can be dangerous because they are subtle and are genuinely not seen as a problem to the person who harbors them. Many partners do not realize that they have one or even both forms of expectation before and during the marriage. Although there is nothing wrong with having these initial expectations, they need to be understood and talked about between the
Rick, Welcome to the club! This little gift is my way of letting you know that anytime, anywhere - I am here for you. In 1976 at the age of 16 1/2 I was hospitalized for drug and alcohol abuse treatment in a locked hospital unit.
You're there for me all the time. No matter what time it is, and you just don't know how thankful I am for you. I remember meeting you in 5th grade Then I gave you a tbh the begging of 8th grade and then we started talking more.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you will find that love can be one of the most captivating things a person can experience in life and celebrating that love and making it official with marriage is a wonderfully beautiful thing. With that being said, it doesn’t mean that marriage doesn’t have its complications. In the video titled, “ Tale of Two Brains”, we learned about some of the differences between men and women such as how they communicate and think differently. The talker was a minister and marriage expert, Mark Grungor. In this informative and hilarious video Mark shows couples that struggles in a marriage may be because men and women think about life in a different way and most of that stems from the fact that we are wired differently.
To my dearest, Hello Melissa, it has now been 10 months, 2 months to go and we can start counting by 1 again. I want to tell you something important, I want to throw out all my feelings so you can read them. Remember the day you asked me, when you wrote a note in Religious studies and seemed out of this world. How you ripped of tiny pieces of the paper while waiting on your bus because you were nervous. I remember you still acting smooth although you looked so nervous.
Staying married to someone over several years can be quite an experience. The mind-sets or thought patterns of individuals prior to, and through marriage vary. This dynamism is critical to the level of commitment ploughed into any relationship.
The love that my husband and I share is magical, even with hard times and hitting our limits with each other our love continues growing. Love is watching him play with our son and seeing how much love he has for Michael. Love is hearing him complain when he works on my truck but knowing he doesn’t mind because he loves me. Love is when he’s pushing me toward my dreams, even when I get annoyed with him. My husband may drive me crazy at times but he’s the person that I want by my side during this roller-coaster ride of life.
