Habits that Keep a Stronger Marriage

Marriage is one of the oldest institutions of civilizations and, even though undergoing different transformations, remains firm and strong today.

Each culture has its own model of celebration with rules governing the union between couples, but when it comes specifically to our culture, one thing that does not change is the difficulty of building a solid and lasting marriage.

According to information from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, IBGE, in 2010 the divorce numbers in Brazil reached the highest registered since 1984 reaching a rate of 1.8 per thousand inhabitants. In 2010 alone, 243,244 divorces were filed through court proceedings or public deeds, in addition to the separations totaling 67,623.

The fact is that even as divorces and separations increase, new couples are betting every day on the dream of eternal happiness that is fully possible, but which needs much more than love to succeed.

Since the hope that all couples are happy forever is great, check out these tips that can help you get along better and make the marriage stronger and longer lasting.

Accept your partner as he is

There are a large number of women who marry with the hope that over time, with the cohabitation or even with the arrival of their children the partner will change. This can happen? Sure, but maybe this change is not what you planned, so always keep in mind that just like you, your partner has a personality of his own, judgments and values that make him what he is. Accepting differences is a way that can lead you to happiness in a much easier way than trying to convince a person that he or she should be otherwise. So instead of trying to change what you consider a defect, focus on the strengths, those that made you fall in love, and try to minimize others.

Keep up the dialogue

Trying to guess what the other is thinking or feeling can be the gateway to much misunderstanding and confusion, yet many couples appeal to this feature. When your partner seems quieter and you don't know why, instead of making assumptions, calling him or her to sit down and talk in a friendly manner can increase each other's trust and be a way of showing companionship. Be thoughtful, know how to listen, for surely when it is your turn, he will know how to listen.

Split the tasks

In the past, the responsibility of caring for the home and raising children was the sole task of women. However, nowadays the most common scenario is one where both men and women need to go to work and when they get home a new journey begins. To avoid fraying for household reasons, a good tip is to divide the tasks, so neither end to the overloaded day and sharing the basic tasks of daily life left more time to enjoy the family and also to be more together. .

Respect each other's individuality

After marriage what we want most is to be stuck all the time with our love, but as good as it is, there comes a time when having one's own space is needed. Many couples distance themselves from their friends in a relationship, but for the sake of the couple it is necessary for each to have a social life outside marriage, whether the wife with friends and the husband with their friends or both with friends. This may be difficult for some couples, but to achieve it is necessary to work very well on the issue of trust and respect for each other, after all, freedom is something that is achieved.

Cultivate couple habits

As important as preserving each other's individuality is cultivating the particularities of the couple. Every couple has a song that marks their story, a special date and a favorite place. Cultivating these couple-only things, which are special to their story, is critical to rescuing old feelings and arousing feelings that make the couple feel one. Whenever possible, create those moments of individuality of just the two of you. In addition to warming the relationship, it helps to escape the routine.

Did you like the tips? So how about sharing them with your partner and putting them together together? With them and a good deal of love, affection and especially respect, you will find that full happiness exists, it's just a matter of knowing how to seek it. Be happy.
