What are the rules for a happy marriage?

While there are no “must follow” rules in marriage, there are some general guidelines for insuring happiness.

  1.  When angry at your partner, articulate the issues that upset you instead of assassinating your partner’s character.
    
  2.  RESPECT your partner’s feelings at all time. While you do not have to agree with their viewpoint, itis vital to empathetically  listen to what your partner has to say.
    
  3.  Commit your marriage to date night. As often as it is feasible, step away from the daily grind and enjoy a night on the town with your beloved.
    
  4.  Give your partner space to explore his/her vocation, spirituality, hobbies, etc.
    

There should be rites and rituals in your married life. This does not mean making prayers for 2 hours. Simple gestures that you do regularly that encourage love and affection means a lot in a marriage. Playing around before you could sleep regularly keeps you happy and regularly makes things interesting for you. A simple cup of coffee too helps.
