TRUST

[simply_wife]

entering into marriage is not that simple... that is why thinking of it a hundred times is advisable..

as per experience, it takes 12 years of having into a relationship before we got married. i am happy to say that we are happily married for 2 years. problems and misunderstanding occur but we fixed it before we go to sleep.

-having an open communication really helps and letting your husband know that something is bothering u or what he did had hurt u unintentionally will let him realized it.
-we always find time to laugh together even on the corniest jokes..
-always acknowledge even the simple things your spouse had done for you.
-if your spouse is angry or not in the mood, don't do the same, that is why sometimes we really need to have patience. when your spouse is not angry anymore, i guess that's the best time to discuss the problem.
-if we know that we did wrong, the best thing to do is to say sorry and accept it's our fault.
-enjoy doing things together helps.
-be supportive on your husband.
-don't forget the i love you, thank you, take care, and i miss you words... it helps a lot!
-always find reason to be in love...
-the best is to put God at the center of your marriage. :mrgreen:

i hope this helps..
