The biggest mistake you will ever make is entering into a marriage with the belief that love and attraction will keep you together forever. There is no such thing as an undying love, so it should be to no surprise that according to the statistics approximately fifty percent of all marriages in America ends in divorce. For that reason it very important, for the survival of your marriage, that you and your partner familiar yourselves with these tips to make sure you stay together after marriage. Whether you are already married or looking forward to become so, it is a common practice for people to use marriage as a means of making a relationship permanent; But all that actually does is make ending the relationship more complicated. People put more planning into the wedding more than they do for the marriage, there is so much you need to know about significant other and what is expected from your life together. 5 Tips To Make Sure You Stay Together After Marriage 1 - Never stop dating It is natural for a marriage or a relationship to become boring over time, because of this you tend to drift apart from each other. Going out on dates is a way of renewing the excitement and reigniting that passion you felt for each other initially, dating should be a very important part of your marriage. People tend to become too complacent when they are married, but as the quote states: "to keep the one you have, treat them like you don't have them yet". There is just something about dating that causes you to fall in love all over again, it creates a magical feeling that you just can't resist. Put the same effort you once did in your appearance, spend quality time together so as to communicate on a deep uninterrupted level; this will help you to be drawn closer together. 2 - Know your partner Statistics show that couples who have been together longer before getting married are less likely to divorce, persons who have dated for a shorter period have a higher divorce rate. Getting to know each other properly before marriage allows for the surfacing of emotions and a personality, that you may or may not like. You can admire someone in the spring but dislike him/her in the winter, it may seem like a romantic gesture at first but could be nothing more than a gamble. Take time to get to know each other and ensure that that's the type of person you wont mind spending the rest of your life with. 3 - Express your love The expression of love is not just in the words you say but also in the things you do, saying I love you daily is a start but that's not enough. Do things that will show your partner that you truly love and care about him or her, show love with both your action and your words. Don't assume that your partner already knows how you feel, people develop doubts over time and expressing your love daily gives the reassurance that is needed. When someone feels loved it is easier for that person to give love, if you want love and romance the person you are in a relationship with you should first give it. Compliments, praise, attention are just a few ways to show the person you love that he/she is the greatest person in the world. 4 - Take time to understand your partner The couples that experience the most problems in their relationship are the ones that complain that they don't understand each other. You should keep in mind that not because you know doesn't mean you understand, it is all well and good that you know what your partner enjoys but you should also try to understand why. You will have less arguments and disputes if you both could try to understand each other, put yourself in the other persons position and try to understand "the why". 5 - Answer the BIG questions One of the leading reason there is an estimated 50% divorce rate, in my opinion, is because couples not to ask the right questions before getting married. People are of the view that once married things will automatically be better and that they can change their spouse. But, in fact, you need to sit down and discuss matters relating to family, housing, religion, sex, fiances and basically everything that affects your future together. If not you might just come across constant arguing in your marriage due to varying disagreements. No matter how much chemistry you both share and how much love you both have for each other, this will not be enough to keep you together if you have different views and expectations.
