The world is going through a lot of challenges. Sustaining a marriage is one of the biggest challenges that we are currently facing! I would like to say that, crisis of marriages are way bigger than climate change crises. There’s a great need to make marriages great again!
Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. It’s combining of 2 bodies into one soul! This is a pretty solid definition of a marriage! If this is a solid definition of a healthy and prosperous marriage then we need to understand it in a deeper level.
What is a Sacred bond? Why is that bond so special and why we have forgotten about it?
Just like a car needs fuel to go from places to places, same thing takes place in the marriage too! Sacred bond is not just consist of love only, It consists of so many different things too like, deeper level of understanding, mutual respect, mental, emotional and spiritual connection. You need to continue to put gas in your ‘marriage car’ if you want to make it work for longer periods of time.
With time, boredom starts overwhelming. If there’s boredom in a marriage, that doesn’t mean that, it will going to stay like this forever. Most of the couples say that, they used to date before they got married and now, they don’t go for any special dates. They don’t go for any drives or even they don’t go for a cup of coffee in a local shop! It seems like that, they take their marriage for granted. Couples start making excuses that, they got kids now and they have to take care of them. They both work full time. They hardly have anytime for each other. I can totally understand it. You might be having tens of thousands of responsibilities but, it does not give you the right to stop dating your partner again! Everyday is an opportunity to date your partner. Don’t miss on simple opportunities to make difference.
What really kills a healthy marriage is ego and jealousy. Remember, you guys didn’t marry to show each other who is superior and who is not. So leave the ego aside! Work on the love. Work on the things that can continue to make your marriage great!
