Five Things You Should Know About Your Marriage
And searching for the wedding accessories of your dreams that you can forget what the wedding’s all about: the beginning of a marriage! Now that you’ve found the place to buy your wholesale wedding supplies, take a few deep breaths and concentrate on your marriage.
1. The Marriage is Even More Work Than the Wedding
Think choosing the perfect wedding decor is the hardest thing you’ve ever done? Think again. A marriage takes the same level of cooperation and give and take as planning the wedding - and ideally, it lasts until death do you part. Don’t be surprised when you don’t always agree, and don’t think it’s the end of the world the first time you have the inevitable big fight. The trick is to approach your disagreements with understanding and a willingness to give a little.
2. There’s No Such Thing As Fair
You’re not always going to be right, he’s not always going to be right, and life, unfortunately, is not always going to be fair. Don’t even think about keeping score. Just because you’ve given up six Sundays in a row to visit his family doesn’t mean that six consecutive visits to your family is necessary. Sometimes being married is about taking one for the team.
3. You May Be in For a Few Surprises
Remember all those times you pretended to love watching your honey play video games, while secretly dying of boredom? Remember that time he told you he was good at home renovation projects? As you grow together as a couple, you’ll discover that you’re not on the same page about everything, from when to do the weekly food shopping to what goes on a pizza to how to spend - or save - money. But don’t let your differences become insurmountable by refusing to budge. Who knows? You might find out you like to play video games if you can get him to hand over the controller.
4. Practice Does Make Perfect
Notice a theme yet? Marriage is all about give and take. Wedding preparations are the perfect time to practice your diplomatic skills. He’d prefer a black-and-white wedding theme, but you’ve got your heart set on bright colours? No reason why you can’t incorporate a little of both. The more you actively work on solving problems together, the easier it becomes. That’s what marriage is all about, after all: working together toward a common goal - you and your partner’s happiness!
5. You Should Be Each Other’s Biggest Fan
You should be each other’s biggest fan, not just now but ten, twenty and thirty years in the future. If all the support is going in one direction, then most times, the marriage won’t be happy and won’t last. Almost everyone is strong sometimes and weak sometimes and more successful in some phases of life than in others. Offering unconditional love and support and receiving it in return: that’s what makes a marriage strong.
