So, are you married or happy. Or both. This question has been asked for centuries by public speakers, magicians and stand-up comedians.
It is a fact that the world is full of happy married couples.
But it is also a fact that there are many unhappy couples all around the world. Here is a cartoon of a slightly unhappy couple.
Today, I am going to share some fantastic tips and tricks on how to be happier and a joyful couple. It is well accepted that happy marriage brings stability in the lives of people , gives them an opportunity to be less selfish and allows them to look after those whom they love.
In marriage, your husband or your wife is your most intimate companion. And what leads to happiness is not love, not sex and not sharing of the financial burden. It is the companionship and friendship with each other that leads to happiness.
Here is a very good quotation about marriage and happiness. “Marriage By Itself Does Not Make You Happy. It is A Happy Marriage That Makes You Happy.” A fact of life is that married couples are also friends and NOT just husband and wife.
One has to work to nurture a friendship. I am now going to share the FOUR Golden Tips that will nurture this “Friendship” and help you lead a happy married life ever after.
Golden Tip No-1. Go for a walk together. If you think that it is just a walk, then you are sadly mistaken. There is a secret goal behind it and that is – being together one-on-one with no other distractions of the home like TV or Amazon delivery boys.
Golden Tip No-2. Go for a Coffee or a drink together at least once a week. The trick is again to go one-on-one and not in a group.
You must have noticed that the constant theme running through all the FOUR golden tips is spending time one-on-one. Especially during the working life because you can not develop this rapport after you retire. I have met a large number of successful and rich people who consider NOT following these Golden Tips the biggest regret of their life. You can not take marriage for granted.
