According to statistics, almost half of marriages are divorced. Experts explain the secrets of a happy marriage and how not to get into this sad statistics. 70% of divorces can be avoided if both partners use the following secrets of a successful relationship in their daily lives:
Communication
For a relationship to be successful, there must be excellent communication between the partners. The most important problem that the couples face is that one of the partners regularly tells every detail of his day and the other does not listen to it. The secret is in communication! Ask, listen to what your loved one is saying to you and be really interested in what is happening in the other’s life.
Don’t be afraid to show your feelings
A very important aspect of a successful marriage is not to hide your reaction, which is related to any actions of the other one. Tell your partner what kind of behavior makes you happy or, on the contrary, causes discomfort or discust. Talk about it in a calm tone and sincerely. Don’t expect any response or reaction, just tell them.
For example, if you are angry because he/she was going out with friens at an inopportune time, the next day explain what aspects of his or her behavior have caused your negative emotions. Then change the subject of the conversation. Your spouse will think about what you said and will most likely behave differently next time.
Smile more often
