How to Succeed in Marriage

After reading this article, you will be very well equipped to handle your relationship with your spouse, and have a great time doing it.

First, get rid of the myth that you entered marriage to be happy. Despite that popularity of this attitude, I hope you agree that it is self-centered and childish.

Instead, think of it as a glorious opportunity. You are taken on a great challenge and responsibility. That is, to provide your spouse with her needs.

Here are a few quick tips that I want you to try.

1. Just when you feel the most needy, try giving in to your spouse.
   It is probably the best time for you to provide them with a word of encouragement and emotional support.
2. When your spouse wants to talk to you, but you are busy doing something, and can’t be disturbed, try putting down the book/phone/computer, and give full attention to your spouse. She will feel such a relief just by the fact that you are listening to her.
3. You don’t have to — and you shouldn’t — offer solutions to her problems. Just let her express her feelings. And you validate, validate, validate. For examples, say, “I really hear how you must feel.”
4. Do not raise your voice. It doesn’t help anybody. It just proves that you are a little baby who can’t control your temper.
