A marriage for life is the promise that people in love make at the moment they consecrate their union of love. It seems to be a distant utopia in today’s world where our daily routines, the comings and goings of life, and the dizziness of the world around deeply affect our personal
All of these are factors that end up affecting a couple, and if they do not work to maintain the flame of love alive, the relationship will wear out little by little. The oath made to love each other, in happiness as well as in adversity, and in health and in sickness, requires an effort that must be worked with plenty of time at a couple’s core. If they are able to achieve it, “happily ever after” will be more than just a simple fairy tale phrase.
Both have taken an important step: they chose each other to continue on the road life will offer them from now on. From this moment forward, decisions will be made by both of them. The commitment is for both of them. If the husband lives by these five principles that are important for her, then a major part of the work to share a life forever has been strengthened.
Put your wife first in your list of priorities, before your family members.
You must realize that you’re married and from now on she’s the star of this new script that you’re writing together. It’s important to maintain a flow of communication with her. Accompany her and make sure she’s always first. If members of your family need you for something, first discuss it with her and then go if you both agree and deem it necessary to do so. Spend the time you need with your family, but always keep her present.Between your friends and your wife, make sure she’s always first
There’s nothing more fun than going out with your friends and organizing activities with them. Now that you’re married, no one will tell you that you must give up these things, but be mindful that in this new stage in your life, there’s another person in your life. She will always be first, so choose to plan things with her first. It’s possible that on the same day you want to hang out with your friends, she has already made plans with you. Always talk with her. It’s possible that on certain occasions you might have much more fun going out with her.When another woman is before you, remember that you already made your choice
You made your decision at the moment when you declared your vow and placed the wedding band on her ring finger. No other woman, near or far, will take the helm of your life from your wife. You have made choice to love her and respect her. Enjoy the best of moments and those to come. Life will have wonderful gifts to give to both of you.
Make your family the owner of your best quality time.
The life we’re forced to live - the routine, work, day to day things - often becomes a merciless slave driver. Sometimes you might come home tired and don’t feel like playing with the kids or to spend some time talking with your wife. You have to realize that the best gift to get rest from your fatigue is to spend time with your family. They will calm your fatigue with that enormous love they have and their eagerness to see you after missing you all day. Also, take some time to go out and enjoy with them without constantly looking at your watch. Share the best of you with them.Put social media aside
Sometimes we spend hours and hours on social media. It’s likely that she is waiting for you to free yourself so she can talk to you, to tell you about her day or simply to receive you with affection and is waiting for you to do the same. You must realize that you can check your social media or get on the internet any time you want, but when you’re with her, try to make the most of the time you share together. That time together is the most valuable thing you have.
If both of you take into account these five points, it’s a sure thing that the marriage will be strengthened more and more each day. There’s nothing that love cannot achieve.
There’s nothing that love cannot fix. Always remember that dialogue will always be the basis for everything. It will open the doors to solutions to all your problems that might come in the future. This doesn’t mean that the marriage will be perfect. But that is what love is all about: two imperfect people coming together to become one, knowing and understanding each other because of the love they have for each other, building together a life with common objectives, projects, and shared dreams, perfectly prepared for a long life full of adventures that are yet to begin.
