A successful marriage needs planning and coordination between both partners.
Today, marriages break because of ego and lack of communication. Having a successful marriage is not a matter of wishing for it but a matter of working for it.
These might seem ordinary but these three tips will make your marriage work;
1. Solve conflicts
Most marriages break as a result of unsolved conflicts. Couples who are ready to solve conflicts and rifts between them often stay together forever.
When unsolved problems compile or rather left to accumulate, they bring trouble in future thereby endangering the marriage.
2. Let go of perfectionism
Nobody is perfect, the common say goes. Therefore why would you blame your partner for their flaws and mistakes?
Do not let perfectionism spoil the sweet relationship you are having with your partner. Just like you make mistakes sometimes, so do they. Expecting much from your partner will only make the marriage seem unreasonable for you.
3. Respect each other and the marriage
Respect is paramount in any kind of relationship. In fact, marriages hardly work when couples don't show respect for each other.
Respect here entails faithfulness, loyalty, obedience and proper communication. Whenever you uphold all these in your marriage, everything goes right.
