If you’re a married couple, you need to need have a plan for your future. Map out specific goals and targets that you want to achieve with your partner. Having goals that you can work towards with your partner makes your relationship deeper and even more meaningful.

Quality time

Forgive easily

Making mistakes is part of the human life. Nobody is perfect and at some point in our lives we will bring disappointment to the people we love. Being able to forgive them and not just forgive but doing in quickly is very important for a long lasting marriage.

Holding grudges are completely bad for a marriage. It’s okay to have your moment of frustration and anger but learn to let it go. Do not hold it or consistently use it against them. It might be difficult but it is an important trait to learn.

Listen

A majority of us have a problem with listening to what our partner has to say. Many people hear, but they do not listen. In order to have a successful marriage, people need to listen to each other. This will improve the communication between them, which might come in handy in times of hardship.

Always Pray

Prayer is everything. A 3 fold cord cannot be broken easily. It is important that you and your partner establish a relationship with God. Thank God, praise Him, Ask for forgiveness, Ask Him to grant your heart desires. Always Go to God first for anything.

Develop Each other

In addition, you need to be sure you are heading in the same direction. Because what is the point in being together if you are heading different ways?

Value leadership

It might seem surprising, but leadership does not mean that there has to be only one leader.
