8 Rules to Stay Married Happily Ever After

5. Talk about your problems

Many couples tend to take each other for granted after getting married. They shut down all communication lines and procrastinate talking about important issues. If there is something important you need to sort out with your wife, do it at the earliest and ask your wife to do the same. Don’t let your problems pile up.

6. Keep the romance alive

Why aren’t married couples as romantic as they were during their dating phase? It is because they know that they don’t have to play hard to get each other’s attention after marriage. One of the lesser known rules for staying happily married is to keep the romance fresh. Take each other out on dates and give each other surprise gifts. Do whatever it takes to keep the relationship lively and youthful.

7. Never wash dirty linen in public

The way you behave with your wife in public can say volumes about the state of your marriage. No matter what differences of opinion you have with your wife, keep a unanimous voice in front of others. Support each other in front of your friends. Don’t fight and argue with friends and family around.

8. Learn to compromise

Being able to compromise is a very important virtue that couples must have to sustain a happy relationship. Your wife may be letting go of a lot of her habits or favorite things just so that she can blend in with your lifestyle. Similarly, you too may have to compromise on a lot of things for your wife without her having to ask you.
