How to make your marriage last

Marriage was made last forever, at least so the Holy Book says, but what is that we say in marriages today. The rate of divorce keeps rising everyday. Some marriages don’t even last up till a year before they end and this makes me wonder is getting married is actually worth it.

After all is said and done, I have come to find out that some marriages have lasted as long as 50 years and still counting, so what is the secret to the success of such marriages? In order to answer these questions, I would like to let you know that just as there are success tips for making your marriage work, there are also some habits and behaviours you should desist from.

The main thing that causes breakdown in any marriage is the trend of negative interactions. What I mean by this is when you and your partner have this endless string of negative interactions such as

1. Emotional shutdown or lack of responsiveness in response to any form communication.

2. Being on the defensive and not taking the time to listen to each other.

3. Criticizing and attacking your partner’s instead of addressing wrong behaviour.

4. Sarcasm and disrespectfulness to or about your partner.

Having said this, I bet we would like to know what to do to make your marriage last. The key is to learn how to resolve your own marriage in a manner that is fair and acceptable to you and your partner. You must also learn how to give 5 positives for every negative.
