People always ask me what did I do after my wedding ceremony, I answer them that’s simply my husband and I watched Daredevil on Netflix. We had the best evening as husband and wife. It was a very slow cuddling evening which led to the romance. I never claimed to have all of the answers but here are the seven ways to be equals in a marriage:

1: An Old Tip but So True Never Go Bed Angry: We have always made marriage work by always working our issues work out. We don’t argue a lot but when we do (we do). I don’t understand why couples argue and go to bed angry. It doesn’t make sense to me. My grandma once told me when you meet the person you know it deep in your heart if you argue Em don’t go to bed angry at one another. Because something could happen, and you could maybe never see them again. I never understand what she meant until now. She was right. RIP Mommow.

2: Marry Your Best Friend: My husband is my best friend first always, when I speak to him, I don’t have to worry about judgment. Always remember your spouse is your best friend first, because when he speaks to you in confidence you should enjoy it. Whether it is something serious or something funny.

3: Keep the Romance Alive: Don’t be afraid to spice things up between you and your spouse. Try new things, talk about it. Even if you have kids whether it is giving him a back massage, or leaving a note in his lunch saying the simplest words “I love you” can make a major difference. Even the tiny things can be the most thoughtful things.

4: Communication: Communication is a major key to any friendship or relationship. Without communication you have nothing. Ever since COVD-19 the divorce rate has gone up I think because of lack of communication. Just because a couple is married doesn’t mean this is gone. You married your best friend keep this up.

5: Date Night: Like dating in the beginning couples even married should have romantic dates or just fun ones. Even if it is as simple as laser tag, or candle-lit dinner. Movie and dinner. Anything Friday nights should be about fun just because you are married doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with each other.

6: Being goofy: Just having a great laugh is simple, even if it’s the wife putting on Nair to hide the fact, she has peach fuzz on her chin. Laugh about it, don’t be so serious. Without laughter, and being goofy there aren’t any good times. And in these days good times are a must. Never be afraid to just have fun.

7: Spice Up the Sex Life: This is important to anyone spice things up don’t be afraid to try new things. Don’t be afraid to say I don’t like that or that makes me uncomfortable. The man I love we spice things up and aren’t afraid to say what we don’t like. I think it’s important in any marriage to always be honest with each other, but not be afraid to explore. To always speak to each other and not be afraid. The bedroom, the living room, the shower. Never be afraid to try new things.

As for me, I am still learning so much about being married as is my husband. But one thing that is very clear is, we are best friends first. And always tell each other how we feel. Remember to my readers and followers these are great tips but they aren’t expert tips.

Please leave a tip, I would be much appreciative about this.
