How to lead a successful married life

Suggestions are invited.

 

If I were to ask you to describe walking, mechanically speaking it would seem like a very complex function. While we do it without thinking.

Half of my point goes to show that descriptions tend, as history has shown us, to prolonge and complicate the actual process(es).
The other half is to metaphorically portray married life as two limbs, which, when working and supporting each other, will arrrive to great lengths.

 

If the woman in your life knows that you love her with all your heart, mind and soul to the point where you will not hesitate to lay down your life for her - she'll make you the happiest man alive. As a result your marriage / family life will be very enjoyable.

 

I agree with @qwikad.com Happy Wife = Happy Life

But, I would like to add that, much like in real estate where only three things matter: location, location, and location, leading a successful married life has three major requirements: picking the right partner, picking the right partner, and picking the right partner.

 

I am currently engaged and have been in a committed relationship for close to two years now, the biggest tip I can give is communication. The best thing you can do for each other is communicate your needs, desires, and most importantly of all you need to communicate anything that may be upsetting you. Keeping things to yourself will almost always come back to haunt you.

 

Married life is like an ongoing business negotiation.

To negotiate properly both parties need to be happy in the end. Sometimes you'll get a little more of what you want and other times your better half will get more of what they want.

Good example: Say yall are discussing where to go for vacation. She wants to go to the beach and you the mountains. Yall decide on the beach and she's happy so you get a little something extra that night. In the end both get something they want and are happy.

 

As a rule of thumb, yes.
But there are people who don't have any sense of fairness, have too much ego, have a boasted sense of self-worth, are into different types of relationship than horizontal ones etc. There really aren't types when it comes to people. We each are a mix.
I'm not talking about you, I and a lot of people. I'm talking about the hundred millions living on rural lands in third world economies.

 

Am still trying to figure it out - so can't really give you a lot of tips on this.

In general - from personal experience - if you learn to keep your tongue in control - you can lead a happy married life.

 

don't cheat with your partner..and always make your partner happy...

 

I think....
Respect each other
Control your anger
keep little privacy
Communicate
Outings
compromise sometime
love..and love more

 

What is meant by a successful marriage? One that lasts forever or one that is happy? Or maybe one that produces the most offspring ?

 

heyy...nice one.........i think one that is happy...only those lasts forever..
