How to Have a Happy Marriage - What it Takes and How to Get it!

Looking for the secret of how to have a happy marriage? That's a question that you should be extremely proud to be asking.
So many people go through their lives in a marriage that either just royally stinks, or one that is just humdrum and boring.
Humdrum and boring is usually what leads to infidelity and cheating, or just total resentment between spouses.
So feel proud of yourself for looking for looking for the answer to a happy marriage.
Not long ago I was asking the same question very often.
I would wonder if there was even such a thing.
Coming from a family of divorced parents, I married almost under the mindset that I would eventually end up divorced once my marriage had run its course.
Is that terrible or what.
It actually probably had a lot to do with the tone that it set in my marriage, making it not a very happy marriage at all for a lot of years.
My marriage was a mess and I had a lot to learn about how to make it work.
One of the problems I had though was looking for that one magic bullet that would fix my marriage.
Doing this led to a lot of heartache and disappointment.
It's sort of like falling for every get rich quick scheme over and over again.
When you look for the easy and quick way out you're usually severely disappointed.
When you're disappointed then your marriage seems almost worse and so the cycle continues, and so that's no way to have a happy marriage one bit.
Here's what I Learned About How to Have a Happy Marriage The thing that I learned about having a happy and successful marriage is that it's more of a journey rather than an end result, and the quicker you learn (yes learn) to enjoy that journey, the quicker you'll find happiness in your marriage.
You see, there are a lot of key things that make a marriage happy and successful.
Of course we all hear the word communication all the time, and that's true, but what we don't hear are the preludes to good communication like understanding, and perception of your spouse.
And then there are getting through the things that affect almost every marriage such as direction, and power struggles.
It's a lot.
The main thing to remember always is that your marriage doesn't need to be perfect.
Your marriage doesn't need to be necessarily fixed.
But it does need to constantly grow and consistently improve.
Otherwise, it's doomed for failure at all costs.
Even though failure may not result in divorce, it may end up in a lifetime of shared unhappiness.
That's the secret to how to have a happy marriage.
