Every marriage is unique. However, there are principles that should guide your marriage. The principles below are ideal for every marriage;
1. Let go of your past experience
Both of you should make efforts to let go of your past experiences. Especially the negative ones have no significance to you now. Focus more on the present and the future.
2. Be patient and understanding
You have to grow together so you can get along with each other easily. Be patient and understanding with each other. Listen to each other's point of view with an open mind.
3. Admire and be fond of each other
Do not live like strangers when you are actually two people in love and living together. Admire each other, get fond of each other. How you relate with each other determines how far your marriage will go.
4. Solve your solvable problems together
There's no perfect couple. When there are problems within your marriage, it is upon you to sit down and solve them together. You should always be open to solving problems and communicating unless you don't value the marriage.
5. Communicate!
Communication builds stronger walls and foundation for your marriage. Keeping your issues to yourself won't do a thing to make your marriage better but communicating will.
