MYSTERIES OF MARRIAGE
Everything’s hunky dory when you’ve just uttered “I do” but there’s a lot more to marriage than diamonds and dinner sets. Here are 5 things that nobody ever tells you about life after marriage.
CHANGE ONLY YOURSELF
Trying to change your spouse spells marital doom. Ignore his mismatched clothes or when on a dinner date, consider her need of three hours to get dressed. It’s far less exhausting and you’re less likely to feature in your spouse’s secret murderous fantasies!
DON’T BE TIED AT THE HIP
When you start dating, all you want is to be together. This feelingdiminishes after the wedding but don’t be alarmed. It signifies that your love has matured and you have grown away from the physical plane to a more spiritual level.
GO TO BED ANGRY – SOMETIMES
Dissecting every single disagreement to the nth degr ee is a recipe for disaster. Take a break during an argument, even if a resolution hasn’t been reached. When the subject crops up again, you’ll be calmer and better equipped to handle the conflict.
DON’T GET YOUR OWN WAY
In marriage, getting your own way all the time means one thing, you’re moving from marital bliss to marital miss. Compromise! Compromise! Should be your new mantra. Aim to work together and strike a balance so you’re both happy.
HAVE A FIGHT
If you and your spouse agree on everything or never argue, serious problems are afoot. Good marriages are about resolving conflicts. Sometimes clearing the air means having a good old fashioned fight. Just don’t throw the wedding china at each other! (Source: Gorgeous)
