How to Save Marriage and Bring Back Its Charm

Marriage is an institution that is meant to last forever. But how frequent does that happen in the present times? Well, of course not many times. Reasons behind this are countless. There are people who throw the blame on modern lifestyle, while other are too confused to make any statement in this concern. After a thorough study of relationships and issues associated with it, I've made a conclusion.

My conclusion comprises 4 points, which I consider as the reasons for the gradually fading reputation of marriage.

1. Communication - More often than not, it has been seen that individuals keep expecting their partners to read their mind and act accordingly. When things do not happen that way, the situation gets complicated. One rarely ever tries to comprehend the fact that until and unless you don't share your likes, dislikes, beliefs and ideas with your partner, he/she cannot know who you are, and what you expect from him/her. So, it is sincerely advised to talk to your partners about each and everything you wanted in them and things which if they do, will make you happy. That is one thing that will undoubtedly have a magical effect on your relationship!

2. Spend Quality Time With Your Partner - 90% of individuals assume that they are spending enough time with their partners, while they aren't actually! This can have disastrous effect on your relationship. It pushes your partner towards loneliness and they may even lose interest in you, gradually. It might be that you are a busy man/woman (that's quite common in the present times), but no matter what, you should at least try to steal some time, from even your super busy schedule. Another thing that you must keep in mind is the fact that spending quality time with your partner doesn't mean a family outing. These are two different things. Spending quality time with your partner means just you and your partner! Watch a movie, cook their favorite food, go for a drive or just be in bed and relax.

3. Surprise Them - We all do that very often in our teen age. But do we ever plan any such thing anymore? Well, not many can say yes to this. Why? The answer is the fact that we take our life partners for granted. Yes, we do! I call it overconfidence. We become so proud of our relationship that we avoid even an ounce of possibility that there can be any problem and hence we don't make efforts for them. C'mon guys! Refresh your minds. Your partners are still the same persons, you once wanted to impress. They still need that affection and nothing could be better than a pleasant surprise to show them your affection and make them realize that you still care for them.

4. Always Seek Their Point Of View - There are plentiful times when we have to take big decisions. In those times, do you consult your partner? If not, then you must immediately change your style. You may be the best at taking decisions, whereas you partner might not be, but seeking their point of view will make them feel good. It will make them feel wanted and loved. So, the next time when you have to do something crucial, do approach them for their viewpoint.
