It’s probably no secret that marriage takes some work. Once you’re married, it changes everything. You’re together for life and that simple fact makes an incredible difference. So before you head down the aisle, here are some secrets to any happy relationship.
Trust From Both Parties
This is a deal breaker – no relationship can thrive without trust. Every relationship needs it to be successful. Trusting someone else completely doesn’t always happen immediately (it can be a little scary!), but when it does, it’s an amazing feeling to have.
Support
Marriage can often seem a little limiting in that you may have to accommodate someone else’s dreams. But, the upside to this is that a happy relationship works both ways. Knowing that your partner will or would do the same for you is a great feeling too.
Responsibility For Each Other
“In sickness and health” isn’t a vow taken lightly with you too. You are there for each other when needed, even when it’s a genuine struggle. Being in a relationship means that you have a responsibility towards each other, which is magnified even further in marriage. While it may not be fun to consider, it’s nice to know that there is someone who will be there for you too.
Feeling Lucky
If you wake up and feel lucky to see their face or feel grateful when they help you through a sticky situation – that is real love! You know it when you feel it and it really cannot be compared to anything else in this world. You just feel happy to have them in your life and are thankful for someone to all of life’s ups and downs with. And you wouldn’t want to share them with anyone else!
