1. Never mention "divorce".
A happy marriage requires a positive mindset. If you frequently bring up divorce or use it as a threat, it only means you're admitting the marriage is failing. Your spouse will also see it as a possibility. Remember, divorce will never solve your problems.
2. Intimacy
Physical and emotional intimacy can reduce stress in couples and bring them joy. When your partner is sick or about to go on a business trip, intimate acts can further strengthen your relationship.
3. Say "I love you" every day.
As marriages progress, many people become reluctant to say "I love you." These seemingly simple three words actually carry your gratitude towards your partner and reaffirm your love. If you find it difficult to say them, consider other ways to express your unwavering love through nonverbal expressions.
4. Don't compare your marriage to others.
Just as appearances can be deceiving, so too can marriage. You can never truly know if someone else's marriage is happy, even if they seem like a perfect couple. So instead of comparing, spend your time cultivating your own happiness.
5. They are partners, but also good friends.
When something good happens, is he the first person you want to tell? He should be more than just your partner; he should be your best friend, someone who understands you better than anyone else.
6. Maintain the habit of dating
Many couples give up dating after becoming parents, as if it were something from a past life. While work is undoubtedly busy and children are too young to care for, maintaining a spirit of love and sharing is the foundation of a happy family.
7. Communication
Lack of communication is a problem that many marriages encounter. When you communicate, focus on what the other person is saying and learn to listen to make communication smoother.
