Marriages experience a number of challenges.
However, many couples have broken up because of mistakes that could be avoided.
Here are the secrets to keeping your man.
1) Don’t compare your husband to other men
It is common to come across women who compare their men to others, which should not be the case. Every person has his/her strengths and weaknesses. Comparing your man to another means you have not accepted him the way he is.
2) Don’t expose his weaknessesYour marriage will not last if you expose the weaknesses of your man to neighbours, relatives or even your children. If you love him, help him change rather than expose him. Remember, you are each other’s keeper.3) Don’t use moods to communicateCommunication is an important part of any relationship. Communicating using your moods can hurt your marriage. If there is anything you want, just speak out.4) Don’t raise your voice against him for any reasonRaising your voice against your man is a sign of disrespect. There are better ways to address your husband than shouting at him in the presence of your children. Regardless of the problem at hand, talk to him like the husband you want to spend the rest of your life with.
