Top 5 Signs of a Happy Marriage
Acceptance of each other as they are. You do not try to remake each other, you accept many of your partner’s shortcomings, you do not exchange for trifles. A minimum of reproaches and a maximum of respect is a sure sign of family well-being.
Personal freedom and trust. Sometimes we all want to be alone with ourselves. Trust reigns in strong and happy families and, as a rule, spouses allow themselves to rest from each other. At home, everyone should have their own corner where they can retire (if the area does not allow, it’s not a problem either: I personally like to meditate on the rotating drum of the washing machine in the bathroom) It can also be football matches with friends, fishing, a bachelorette party in a cafe, and sometimes even the weekends spent apart. With all this, the spouses have practically no secrets from each other, and even more so jealousy. The abundance of all kinds of “no” only speaks of a lack of trust. If you completely trust each other, then you know for sure that you can always count on understanding, help and support. And after a walk alone, you want to return home as soon as possible.
Surprises, gifts, family celebrations. You really look at things and do not demand expensive gifts from each other that are unacceptable for the family budget. But at the same time, you still arrange surprises for each other, give even if for no reason some real trifle. And then enjoy it together. Cheerful family celebrations or just a joint dinner and lunch are also an integral sign of a friendly family. At a common table, difficulties are resolved more easily, and joyful events are doubly more fun!
Favorite thing. In happy families, as a rule, everyone works or does something: everyone has a favorite thing, hobby or passion. And it brings joy, and it is pleasant to share this joy with the household. Often this is a family business that brings a good income. And if things in the work suddenly do not go very well, then the partners live this difficult period together, support each other and jointly solve problems.
Compromises and concessions. In marriage, without this, nowhere. Some find it easier, some harder. But even through thorns, the path still leads to the stars: if the spouses are ready for a productive conversation, ready to make concessions, ready to understand themselves and their relationships, this is the right path to success.
