My uncle is celebrating his 7 years anniversary next month which is march and I have stayed with them for a while and I noticed how their marriage is and from there I abstracted tips from their marriage life because I'm certain that their marriage is a happy one.

They've been together since they were in highschool and that's how their journey started and they've grown a lot together in the past years and what I discover is that they love each other more and more as each year passes..... and I wonder how is that possible?.... I asked them same questions and his wife response was that he love him more than the first day he met him and this is because they've gone through a lot together and out of them that a family have been developed and they've shown their real self to each other and have been through a lot together.

so I'm giving out 7 tips for a successful marriage because I consider their marriage to be a successful one and it will definitely last forever. so let's dive in;

1. Making Time For Each Other

I don't mean it's compulsory to go out for dinner or cinema together but simply spend time with each other at least everyday and sometimes it might not be possible but dedicate some hours for each other like watching series, Monday night football, cooking tips and different movies together. though you might not have interest in what he likes but with time you will start getting interested in the activities. having occasional conversation once in a while and sometimes discuss what you guys have just watched and talk about your families.

one of the most important thing is that your anniversary should be celebrated and it shouldn't be regarded as a normal day because it happens just once in a year and that's the only time to reflect back to the years you've been together because there's enough reasons to celebrate your anniversary because people divorce, people die, people struggle and that should give you a reason to celebrate.

2. Making Other Person Feel Special

There are so many ways to make your spouse feel special it can be so simple as a compliment ( like you're so beautiful today or you look handsome). those kind of compliments make them feel special and it makes it know to them that you notice them and you're aware of them and sometimes a simple thank you can go a long way.... like thank you for all you do, thank you for being there even in times of hardship.

There are some days when you will cook his favorite food when he doesn't expect it and also buying gifts even when there's nothing to celebrate and this will make you start thinking of each other. making them special can be done every single day.

3. Focus On Each Other Good Qualities

The truth is that none of you guys are perfect and we all have flaws in relationships and there are lot of things that both of you do that makes each other get angry but I think the best thing to do is not focusing on the negative side but focusing on the good, positive and amazing side would be the best thing and if you do this your love for each other would develop to an extent that will makes it unbreakable because the more you focus on the good part of each other, the more you see the good sides of him that you often ignore or just have recognized.

putting aside all negativity reduces tension in a marriage.

4. Having Empathy, Understanding And Compassion For Each Other

This is another way of making each other feel special because not everyday is usually better and bad days happens sometimes and sometimes they might come home to say things they don't really mean because they are irritated throughout the day and what should be done here is your knowledge to acknowledge that they need space and time to get over whatever they need and let them know you love them even the time they seems to have lose their mind.

Have that understanding that you guys have different things to bring to the table because you were brought up different ways and you can only solve the problems you guys caused and never try to impose all problem to one person.

5. Compromise

This is self explanatory, there will be some days that you won't like what he is interested in but you prefer what you are offering at that moment..... like those times he would love to watch a football match and you will love to watch series and that do cause a little trouble but when you understand each other one of you will have to give in what you're interested in just to show interest in the other partner activity.

this makes partner understand that they can let go of anything just for their happiness and it's really nice seeing people in marriage doing that and sometimes some marriage are lucky because both partners have similar things they like but it can't be all so this issues will arrive so it depends on the marriage understanding.

6. It's Okay To Do What You Like

we all know marriage is all about being together and spending both good time and bad times together but sometimes I think it's better for you to have your personal space and you can't make your partner to like all you do because you are both unique and different

finally the last tips should be known to all and it is obviously sex and it is only meant for marriage because there will be some days when both of you are on different wavelength and the best thing is to come closer and have a wonderful time on bed because that would bring you more closer and you will notice things are much better after some times.

This is all the tips I have recognized from their marriage and I hope it can help you guys in your relationship and if you haven't started making your partner feel special yet, you can start today let them feel your love and also don't restrict them from who they want to be and don't keep showing out their flaws.
