along together throughout the life with each other is the real accomplishment”

heaven!! This is what we used to hear while growing up. And marriage is that
beautiful bond which not only connects two hearts together, but joins two
families as well. A couple goes through numerous ups and downs and good or bad
experiences in their married life. Someone’s good experience in married life
becomes an inspiration for numerous to-be wed couple, whereas, a bad experience
of another couple makes someone away from the constitution of marriage.
Marriage is altogether a
different experience, especially for a girl as she makes more sacrifices. She
has to leave her family behind and adapt to a new culture, embrace new
relationships and a new lifestyle which is undoubtedly a very challenging task.
Bride need some time to get accustomed to the new atmosphere and surroundings
so the groom and his family need to be patient with the new member of the
family and they ought not keep close tabs on her. Every couple needs to invest
considerable amount of time to marriage, even to those who have been in a love
relationship for a long time. Trust is the cornerstone of successful marriage
so couples need to establish mutual trust and count on each other
unconditionally Marriage brings many changes, newer
responsibilities, numerous adjustments at the initial stage. The Couple must
understand, that beside anticipating and appreciating the good traits in the
partner, they will have to accept the worst side too, as no one is perfect.
There could be difficulties in marriage, but there is also an enduring sense of
“us”rather just “you and me”. Therefore, positive mindset towards your partner
and towards the relationship is required to positively handle the sensitive
situations.

pillar for a happy married life, but except love there are also other important
factors on which the foundation of successful marriage is built upon.

Both the partners need to respect
each other’s values, beliefs and preferences. These could be in any form, may
be in career preference, or other liking or disliking which could be
distinguished too between the two partners thoughts and beliefs, but knowing
the fact that two human beings cannot
have same beliefs every time and respecting each other’s preference is another

in a marriage. It is the human tendency
that if another person shows blind trust on you, you naturally start feeling a
sense of responsibility to not to break the trust of that person. So before you
expect loyalty from your partner, show him/her the same level of trust Honesty is the foundation of any relationship

wedlock .

the two partners is often the glue that holds a marriage. As a human being, we
have a tendency to be hard-wired to crave a special sense of intimacy with our
partner. But there is also a fact that has been noticed in couples is that
along with the time flows, the level of affection and intimacy becomes lesser.

responsibilities, and let that passion eliminate from the relationship. To keep
that passion alive, The couple must steal out the time to spend with each
other, keep doing things for each other which makes him/her feel special and keep
a sense of romance alive in a relationship. Therefore, with this little
creativity and careful attention, you can always keep that passion and
affection animate in your married life and keep the home fires burning.

couple must openly discuss even the trivial issues so that no major issue could
crop up in the future.

individuality which attracts your partner, so never caste it aside in the excitement of knowing your partner
better. This is the most critical situation where you must make conscious
decisions to integrate your life while still maintaining your individuality.
