Happily Ever After! Yes, that's what the book said.
They lived happily ever after.
The thought gets planted in our minds when we are young.
The idealism of youth stays with us.
Then we get married and reality sets in; but is it really possible to have a blissful relationship? Of course, you see it all the time.
Well, maybe not all the time, but you do see couples who have found the secret of a happy marriage.
They are flexible enough to continue to pursue each other--they just do it in different ways from what they did when they were dating.
When new challenges come up, each one tries to find where he or she needs to make adjustments, and they work on those things.
They also avoid criticism of their spouse.
Why Would We Need to Consider Pursuing a Happy Marriage? We often go into marriage unprepared for the adjustments we have to face.
Indeed, a couple that is considering marriage would do well to study books that are designed to improve marriages.
You see, before the wedding, there is still the challenge of pursuit.
This pursuit is particularly motivating and challenging to a man, and it is particularly flattering and exciting for the woman.
However, after the marriage, that challenge is no longer there.
The New also begins to wear off.
Also, the innate selfishness of each partner begins to surface.
Actually, we just think pursuit is no longer necessary.
It is even more necessary now, but it does take different forms.
A wise couple will make it a life-long project to study, please, respect, and gratify each other in the marriage relationship? What Are Some Benefits to Be Gained by Pursuing Keys and Secrets to Happiness in marriage? As I said earlier, a couple with a good marriage will always be open to ways to improve their marriage.
I ran across one such resource by author, Michael Webb, who claims he and his wife never had a fight within 15 years of marriage.
Now, what kind of pressure are they under now? Suppose they do have a fight.
Will that ruin his books? I wouldn't think so.
I suspect the definition of "fight" may have something to do with their success.
On the other hand, the couple who doesn't always communicate well would certainly be interested in what Michael has to say:
He has been featured on Oprah, The 700 Club, Fox News, and even To Tell the Truth TV programs and has been featured on many, many radio programs.
Anyone wanting a blissful marriage would do well to read and practice his 100 secrets and to couple that with my own discovery of six keys to marital bliss.
Those keys all relate to the word, LOVING.
Principles related to Leaving the Past are important.
Principles related to Overcoming affect a marriage.
That you Value things in common is also important.
Achieving Intimacy is the goal of any fairy-tale type marriage.
Recognizing each others' Needs is paramount.
The capstone of it all is to learn to Give to each other.
Action is the key to success in marriage.
First, we become interested in more information.
Then we seek the information.
Then we apply the relevant facts that we have learned.
A couple living happily ever after realizes that their marriage is one of the best things in which they can invest.
It would be worth it to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to achieve a wonderfully happy marriage.
Often, though, much can be achieved by simply loving and respecting each other, and picking up less expensive information along the way.
Would you be willing to save your marriage for the price of a few meals eaten out? A wise couple says, "Yes!" and makes investments throughout their marriage.
