1.Demonstrate your love
You love your spouse ardently. But you never display your love openly. Most of you want your spouse to understand your love without you demonstrating it.

It is because responsibilities and family commitments make you feel pressurized. You become more focused on making your family financially secure. You feel highly stressed and tensed by your work related pressure.
The result!

Very wrong way to live a happy married life!
Unless you show open love your spouse will never feel it.

Not at all!
Small physical gestures does the trick.
Arms around the shoulders, looking deep into the eyes of your spouse with care, pat in the cheeks are all magic wands which build your relationship in an incredible way.
Endearing words cements your relationship more than commanding words.
Command your spouse and he\she retaliates with vengeance and hatred.
Love talk with your spouse and he\she reacts with multiplied love and care.
2. Be accountable and responsible in family issues
Do you distance yourself from family problems?
This makes your spouse feel you are very uncaring and irresponsible. Family problems can never be one sided. It is always mutual.
You marry because of the emotional security it gives you. But you fail to see the duties and responsibilities that also come along with marriage. While your mind easily accepts the emotional security and happiness married life gives you, it shies away from the responsibilities your marriage thrusts on you.
There are times when you commit certain silly mistakes which brings great trouble into your relationship.
Financial miscalculations makes your interaction highly volatile. Blaming your spouse unnecessarily only aggravates your relationship problems. Never side track from accepting your faults. When you are apologetic your spouse is ready to forgive you.
Don’t be egoistic and adamant that you never did anything wrong. Being accountable is yet another secret towards a happy marriage.

Do you ignore it as none of your business?
This makes your spouse resent your attitude. He\she mentally deviates from you when you are not caring and supporting.
Always support your spouse instantly and spontaneously.
Do you allow you family\friends\relatives demean your spouse?
Do not ever make this mistake. You should always feel protective towards your spouse. You should never let anyone degrade him\her.
An easy secret to a happy marriage!

Too much of one sided demands and too much of one sided adjustments makes your marriage a terrible strain. Your relationship becomes like a rope pulled too tight. One day it is bound to snap.
Yes, when you do not understand your spouse from his\her angle your married life is tedious, boring and listless. You cannot retreat to your love days unless you make sustained efforts to renew your relationship.
There should be mutual understanding of each other’s feelings and emotions. When you are empathetic you get reciprocal love from your spouse.
