We all want “Happily ever after”, but who actually got that? Marriage doesn’t happen magically, and love isn’t always easy to find in one another. It can be really difficult to set aside your own opinions and truly understand your partner’s point of view. No one can prepare you for the necessary skills of communicating effectively with your lover or expressing emotions without hurting the other’s pride. It takes time and a lot of effort from both sides to live together every day.
If you think that you’re always going to have a loving feeling toward your partner just because of love, you may realize things won’t go well like that later. What happens when you completely disagree with a decision they make, or an investment without your opinions that can ruin both’s financial security? Now, that would require some in-depth conversations—or fights begin to ensue. In marriage and partnership, it’s easy to fall into bad habits that can slowly tank the relationship. Even after decades of living together, people still can end a marriage over small things.
So, how do we know to connect love and have a long-lasting marriage? That is what we want to share in this blog post.
Every minute, we get a choice to respond to the one we love. We can respond critically, or we can seek to understand. Every day, we can choose to belittle our partner or support them. Every interaction is your opportunity to choose the higher act of love for your marriage. And when we make this daily choice of love as a commitment, it becomes a habit that grows the relationship and strengthens your belief in the love between each other.
Not just that, but we also must match what we expect from our partner. This is for them to believe in us. There will be bumps and bruises because each of us lives in a personalized, private, and very complex universe. We must consistently work to keep our faith in the love that we deserve from the partner, and vice versa. When you feel misunderstood or doubtful about how much your partner cares about you, ask yourself this: “How true is this? Do they care about me in different ways? What do I really want from them?”
To be successful in a relationship, we must build strong focus in the right place. There will always be little things that bug us about the other half, but we are all human and imperfect after all. Honor your differences, find their uniqueness, respect the time together. Then not only love matters, but every interaction can become one more opportunity for understanding and closeness. We think that is the secret to a healthy, happy, and loving marriage.
To keep the belief in love and marriage is a challenge and privilege that only humans can do. We as a wedding planner have always thought a lot about that and how we can help others. Soon, we will provide more activities to encourage a belief in love. Because if you believe your heart, you can keep your love, and we truly wish to assist a noble cause like that.
