 Quote From: pennyroses it just amazes me that nobody really gets it. What is a good wife? What is a good husband? Well .......whatever happened to whats a good marriage? This is the only concept that blends all three components together. I believe there is a "recipe" for a good marriage.........they are:
1. never leave each other mad. Who knows what will happen and if something unthinkable does happen.........can you deal with the consequences of your actions. 2. Say "im sorry" its amazing what these two little words can accomplish. 3. Talk to each other when you can COMMUNICATE without YELLING. 4. plan your financial future TOGETHER.....pay your future with your money 5. dont live beyond your means. 6. Dont come home and start in on "i really had a lousy day........take time to unwind.....relax........and talk to each other. 7. find new ways to express your love both physically and emotionally 8. raise your children together.......and be the parent. dont let your child establish superiority.....if the wife says no.........so should the husband.........visa versa 9. have sex with the lights on 10.establish date night..............go out on a date even if you've been married for 10 years 11.DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER............this creates hipocracy and distrust............no marriage can last there. 12. dont cheat on each other........if you dont then you will never have to deal with shame and regret
these are the best points for a good marriage................i know that doctor phil is the expert but you know..........ive learned a few things from being divorced. Prior to getting married to my husband, we attended a marriage encounter. It was the best thing we could have ever done. It taught us that we don't always see things the same way, however we need to see the others opinions and hear their thoughts and then discuss it together. Not yell or name call. My husband knows how hard I work each day with taking care of the children, making dinner, doing laundry, cleaning and making things nice for his arrival at home. You have to work together as a team to make life more enjoyable for everyone. It shouldn't be just about how one person thinks it should be.
There is 2 definitions in the dictionary
1. Marriage: mutual relationship of husband and wife, an intimate or close union, the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family.
2. Marriage of convenience: a marriage contracted for social, political, or economic advantage rather then for mutual affection.
You need to decide which one you want. I myself prefer the first. |
