These four questions will make your marriage happier

These four questions will make your marriage happier

The beginning of a relationship between a man and a woman always goes hand in hand with an ocean of emotions and passions. But over time, the acuity of sensations ends and common life replaces declarations of love. At this very moment many married couples go into the “just live together” mode.

However, some spouses manage to keep the fire of passion for many years. What is their secret? A happy husband and wife know how to correctly express the full range of feelings, show tenderness and care, and express their fears and needs. Here are some key questions that will help you understand your partner better. Feel free to ask your beloved them.

1. “What would you like to get from me?”

Such a simple and direct question will help to avoid many quarrels and resentments. Each of us has our own desires, but many are simply shy or do not know how to reveal them. Once you understand exactly what your spouse wants from you, you will think together how to learn how to meet each other’s needs. It will surely have the best impact on your relationship.

2. “What do you need beyond of our relationship?”

It is important to understand that even in the most ideal relationship, husband and wife cannot replace the whole world for each other. Each of us has our own life outside the family. A walk alone, an evening with relatives, a day completely devoted to one’s interests - all this has the best effect on our relationship within marriage.

3. “What are you dreaming about?”

Let us rewind time. What were we like seven years ago? What we thought about last year? And what are we thinking about now? Our feelings, dreams, goals, they are constantly changing. The same thing happens with our “second halves”. Their dreams and goals can change as well. And it is very important to be aware of what is happening in order to be the main source of inspiration and support at every stage of life.

4. “How do you feel?”

This question seems impossibly simple, but let us be honest: how often do we ask it with a desire to hear a sincere answer? But it is the husband and wife who are the main defenders of each other from all the hardships of this world. It is important to always understand what is happening with your loved one and know how to help each other.

Escape from silence

Why when we alone, we immediately reach for our phones, turn on a series, or other stuff, or do anything to avoid encountering our own thoughts? What are we so afraid of hearing in that silence, and how can we learn to bear it in order to finally hear our true selves?   This is not just a...
