Dear readers,

I have shared my personal views through this post based on some of my combined experiences in my married life (10+ years….) that I believe would benefit the community; your life and bring a transformation to your and your family's overall wellbeing, as discussed and detailed in the below points or secrets that every married or soon-to-be married person should know in order to have a happy marriage and a good relationship:

1. Be loyal to each other: This is the bedrock of each successful marital relationship, and it cannot be shattered. A loyal wife, husband, or partner is thought to be a valuable asset. I don't mean from an economic standpoint, but rather from the perspective of a connection that adds actual value to your lifelong journey. This promotes love, trust, care, and emotional attachment, all of which are necessary for a happy existence.

2. Avoid ego: In your married relationship, ego is the silent killer. As much as possible, stay away from it. This can lead to frustrations, feelings of inferiority, and a variety of other issues. Efforts to communicate are likewise stifled by the ego. To win the game of married life, you must be patient and willing to surrender at times to your husband or wife on occasion as you care for them; after all, this is not a corporate environment where you can take command and govern. The more willingly you surrender, the more likely you are to succeed and win later.

3. Respect each other: Respect for one another eliminates any inferiority complex. As your understanding grows, it becomes easier to talk with each other about all aspects of your marital life. This also demonstrates how much you care about each other. Your perspectives may differ, but respect will enlighten the way things are handled, and you will both be traveling in the same direction toward a fulfilled life.

4. Appreciate small wins: The wins could come from either end - in any form or in any way. Just appreciate it! The truth is, you can't always be a winner, and that's not what anyone should expect. If your wife helps your kids academically, let her know with your words of appreciation so she knows you are happy for the help and build some pride in herself to work harder on academics next time around (and don't forget about the quality time she spent!). Likewise, if your husband contributes to success at home, show him appreciation too by letting him know how much he matters; this will also enhance his confidence, which will benefit both going forward into their future lives together in a progressive way.

5. Spend quality time: This is something that many married people regret in their lives, especially for a husband who has professional responsibilities to take care of the household. This might also go the opposite way. In fact, I missed out on numerous opportunities to spend quality time with my wife because of my work obligations, which took me away from the office stress and worries at times. Do your best in your professional life to spend as much quality time as possible with your partner, wife, or husband, so that the other person does not feel bad. If there is something that needs to be addressed, have a discussion or use a communication tool to avoid difficulties. When you are sincere in your attempts, your wife, husband, or spouse will fully support and agree with you. Spending time together also helps you resolve many mental challenges and live a more peaceful existence.

6. Help in household work: Working together on household chores is a terrific way to strengthen your relationship. In such situations, do your best to support your wife, and it will always be of great assistance to her. It doesn't matter how big or small the task is; it could be housecleaning, laundry, floor sweeping, carpet cleaning, kitchen cleaning, or any other routine task. This gives her adequate time to unwind, at the very least for a few hours or minutes each day. This strikes a chord with her and gives her a wonderful feeling.

7. Have sex regularly: Regularly might be determined by the frequency you and your partner agree on based on mutual discussions. You can only enjoy sex if your mind and body are in good shape. Sex enhances caring and strengthens emotional bonds. Fantasy is fine as long as both of you are comfortable and there are no negative consequences. Explore each other to the fullest extent possible, resulting in a pleasant finish for both of you. Make sure all notifications are turned off so you and your partner aren't distracted.

8. Share concerns with each other: Having a two-way conversation relieves you and allows you to seek information that can help you eliminate any issues by providing enough solutions. Struggling with oneself isn't going to help. These worries could be about anything in your married life, but the goal should be to move and lead as one. This also aids in the adjustment or modification of any current stages or actions to ensure that everything runs smoothly. This is a wonderful way to take care of one another.

9. Discuss financial issues with each other: The majority of the time, financial issues are kept secret, and your partner may be dealing with such concerns, which may have an impact on your family's mental and emotional health. By talking about these issues, you can avoid future problems and pave the route for a common solution that everyone can benefit from. It is both of you who are in charge of achieving your family's financial goals. It could be a loan, a debt, a savings account, an emergency fund, or any future ambitions. Getting your wife or husband's opinion is always a smart idea. Ideas that you may not be aware of could come from the other end and fix your problem. It is a question of transparency to win the future as well as to avoid complex problems that may arise as a result of unfortunate events. As a result, expressing financial problems or issues should not be a source of concern for each other.

10. Spend quality time with your kids: Whatever your hectic life may entail, spending quality time with your children may help you understand their concerns, any challenges they may be facing, and their delight, as well as provide you with a stress-free few hours and make your children feel comfortable spending time with you. If this is not addressed, you will lose communication, and your children will spend the majority of their time in front of a screen, producing more health and emotional repercussions as a result of digital influence. As long as your children are happy, you can devote a few hours a day or week to them and make plans to play indoors or outdoors or attend an event with them.

11. Get connected with your parents: Make time to talk to your parents and to show them that you care about them. Make preparations to visit them so that they can enjoy their happy times even more. Allow their ideals to be passed on to their grandchildren, who are eager to spend time with them. This also secures them because you are kind and respectful of them. Make them aware that you are available to help them in any way you can. It is your responsibility to look after them as children to demonstrate your love, and they have done everything they can to provide you with the greatest life possible. Above all, treating them well is a positive element. Have a get-together with your parents to spend valuable time and moments together.

12. Say sorry: If your wife, husband, or partner has caught you making a mistake, apologize right away or later. Dump the ego, express yourself, and it will resonate more for each other's lovely wellbeing. So, expressing sorry isn't a difficult task and shouldn't be a source of anxiety for you. It happens out of your control to hurt another person, but you have the chance to make it right with your apology. Even if you haven't done anything wrong, you can sometimes win him or her over by apologizing for a mistake you haven't made. It's just a matter of getting things under control and everything will work out in the end.

13. Work towards common family goals: Both of you should make equal efforts to lead life and take actions from all angles to achieve the family goals you set earlier. You can, of course, remind your spouse, wife, or partner of any apparent deviations. Simplify the process. Purchase of a home, automobile, education fund for children, debt reduction, vacation planning, and other ambitions are examples of family goals. After consulting with each other, you can make changes to the current ones to fit the situation.

14. Stop comparing: Comparing your wife, husband, or partner to others or pointing at someone is a common human tendency at times. This could be in the areas of fitness, lifestyle, shape, or attractiveness, among other things. But you must quit doing so, and you must also remember that everyone is unique in their own way. Accept, adjust, and be grateful. With repeated attempts on such subjects, things will spiral out of control. Examine how you or the other may improve to meet your goals. It's preferable to catch the good rather than the best. It is a life you should both live, not a competition.

By Joshua Hoehne on Unsplash

15. Spend time together: Make time for you and your partner for a couple of hours a day to spend quality time together and learn about what's going on. This also aids in the exchange of information, ideas, or inputs for bettering one's quality of life or resolving any concerns that have or may emerge. Communication in a private setting simplifies difficult issues and yields the best results. This could also be a wonderful time when you create love, caring, trust, and bonding with your loved ones. At the very least, set aside a few hours each week to do so. Be prepared to enjoy it if possible!

16. Seek help: You're both on the same road, and it's up to you to help each other get out of difficult situations and make life easier for one another. There should be no inferior complex, but it does occur at some times. Making attempts to develop a prosperous life is a learning trip as well. You can't rule over your wife, husband, or partner because they've come to you for assistance. Stop being so ungrateful.

17. Resolve any doubts: If there are any rumors or gossip about you, your husband, partner, or wife, remain calm, sit down with each other, discuss, and clear up any doubts so that you may come to a proper understanding. In this manner, you can greatly lessen frictions and regain control of the situation. Examine how you and your partner can make things go as smoothly as possible by appreciating each other's comments, criticism, and opinions in a way that does no harm.

18. Learn from each other: In your married life journey, there is always a potential for development in both of you, and learning from each other fosters respect and trust. Be willing to learn from your wife, spouse, or partner, whether it's about knowledge, attitude, life corrections, patience development, or anything else that can assist you in achieving your mutual family goals. The other person can also serve as a mentor. Just respect them.

19. United responsibility: All of your activities, plans, and ideas should be tied together by a shared commitment to make married life a success. As long as both parties are happy, the responsibilities can be divided. You can't hold your wife responsible for your children's lousy grades. Explore, understand each other, and improve the situation.

20. Avoid office pressure at home: This is a common occurrence that many people go through. However, this should be avoided as much as possible, as it may harm your wife or spouse, as well as your children. It's their time with you, so use it wisely to ensure that they spend quality time with you. In fact, I did it a few times in my earlier career before realizing it.

21. Be creative: Be as creative as possible if you want your married life to be prosperous, joyful, cheerful, romantic, and productive. This is something we should all aspire to. Experiment with anything that might aid this move (unless there is no harm in doing so, of course). This increases the bonding and affection.

22. Plan outings: Discuss each other's plans, and spend quality time with your wife, spouse, or partner, as well as your children, by going out on occasion. This alleviates boredom and instills a cheerful attitude. In today's hurried environment, where responsibilities and deadlines abound, this is essential. Make sure your finances are in order and that you are aware of your family's objectives.

By Brett Jordan on Unsplash

23. No screen hours: Make it a practice for you and your wife or husband to have no screen hours at night so you may spend a few moments each day more connected. I understand that in today's environment, this is a difficult task, but it is a highly recommended practice for mutual well-being. Let's not let the blue get in the way of some romantic moments! at the very least, a few minutes or hours per day.

By Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash

24. Respect emotions: Understanding and respecting each other's emotions helps you learn how to handle difficult situations and maintain control. It's also a moment to look out for one another and look for a way ahead. In such circumstances, laughing or blaming is pointless.

By Tengyart on Unsplash

25. Maintain health: Maintain a regular exercise routine with your family, or set aside time for it as needed, and your health will be taken care of. Reduce your outside food intake as much as possible to protect your health. It's acceptable in rare situations. Of course, this is a decision that both of you will have to make based on your personal and professional circumstances, including the working hours.

By Jonathan Borba on Unsplash

26. Avoid being too workaholic: Maintain a healthy balance between job and family life; otherwise, things will spiral out of hand. As you think about it, the possibilities grow. Your firm will not always look out for you; instead, it is your family who will always come to your rescue. Prioritize your family over work by at least a percentage point. I noticed a few things in my previous 9-5 work (or should I say 9-8 career!) that were hurting me in some areas of my life, so I quit during the pandemic and began my own adventure with the support of my wife, who has been by my side through the difficult times. This level of support from her motivates me to work hard to achieve our family's objectives or goals.

27. Understand thin lines: Make every effort to understand your wife, husband, or partner to the best of your ability, and act in accordance with your emotions, acts, or decisions to make the married life journey go as smoothly as possible. If your spouse or wife loves you, cares for you, and trusts you, a few setbacks will help you win in the long run in your lovely married life partnership. Just take care of each other and your lovely kids.
