How to Have a Happy and Loving Marriage

A happy and loving marriage means you and your partner are happy and satisfied with the relationship.
Dissatisfaction arises due to various possibilities or reasons and it varies with different couples.
Therefore, to prevent dissatisfaction or unhappiness in a marriage, any problems or serious issues must be tackled immediately.
If the problem is ignored too long, it will be more difficult to solve later on and by then, it may be too late.
One sensitive issue that couples fight about is regarding money.
Money is a great thing to have but it can cause serious arguments especially when it is not enough.
It has caused many relationships to breakup, as the couple is unable to arrive at a common solution.
A common scenario is if the couple does not control their spending and end up accumulating debts.
If they cannot come to an agreement on how to solve their money problems, this will eventually caused them to go their separate ways.

A happy and loving marriage means being attentive to each other's needs.
Hence, one partner cannot accuse the other partner of neglect.
You do hear a lot of separations due to extramarital affairs.
This happens when one partner feels neglected and looks for comfort elsewhere.
One partner may be too involved with work most of the time and as a result, less time is spent with loved ones.
In this case, both partners must compromise and plan to have quality time together.
This helps the couple to stay emotionally and physically connected.
An important way of helping to maintain a happy and loving marriage is by not taking each other for granted.
After being together for several years, couples tend to fall into a set daily routine.
They see each other everyday and both are busy fulfilling their work and family responsibilities.
Before long, they take each other for granted, forgetting what it was like in the beginning.
In the beginning of the relationship, everything seems exciting as both partners appreciate each other's company.
If no efforts are being made to maintain this situation, sooner or later both of you will take each other for granted.
Practice not taking each other for granted by doing things for each other and by showing your appreciation in small or big ways.
Going out for an intimate dinner is one way or buying each other a surprise small gift once in awhile is another.
The above are just some of the areas to look into in order to help you maintain a happy and loving marriage.
Hence, remember to solve any problems you encounter immediately, settle any money issues or debt problem, make way for time alone with each other and do not take each other for granted.
