When
two people are in love and decide to be with each other for the rest of
their lives, they promise to give one another a life of happiness. The
first year of the marriage or the ‘extended honeymoon phase’, has a
charm of its own. But besides the romance, this is also a time that
gives your relationship a much needed foundation.
Marriage teaches you a new lesson every day, sometimes sweet and
sometimes bitter but always useful. Here are 6 such beautiful and
important lessons that couples must learn in the first year of their
marriage.
Beginning of a beautiful friendship
During your courtship period, right up to your wedding and the initial
months after that, so many things happen that can bring a couple close
to each other. Sharing a good equation with your partner not only
physically but also emotionally makes you the best of friends. Trusting
each other, keeping no secrets and always confiding in each other should
be the thumb rule from the very beginning. This will strengthen your
friendship and your relation.
Nurture your love to make it last forever
Love does not only have to last for the first few years of your
marriage. The care and attention you give in nurturing your relationship
in its first year, will make it last forever! Saying ‘I love you’ more
often to each other not only because you have to but because you want
to, is a great rule to abide by. Leaving each other love notes, going on
date nights more often, trying to understand each other’s point of view
without any ego and not holding any grudges will make your bond even
more beautiful than ever before!
Apologising goes a long way
In every relation, out of the two partners, one is always more calm,
composed and mature than the other. That is why they say that ‘opposites
attract’! Never hold yourself back from saying sorry. This would not
make you small or put you down. Instead, it will make your parter
respect you even more. This will take you and your relation a very long
way indeed.
Prioritising
One of the most important lessons to be learnt after getting married
is to prioritise things. You need to decide for yourself- what is more
important to you? Family interference, especially in the Indian set up,
work pressures and just the usual stress can take a toll over your
married life. Prioritising your life right from the beginning will make
it easier for the two of you in the longer run. Making effort to take
some time out for your spouse, respecting their opinion above the others
and spending some quality time together every day will make your bond
stronger.
Nothing Changes
People often say that lots of things change after you get married.
True in some aspects, but if the two of you trust and love each other
enough to give space to one another in the marriage, nothing has to
change. Everything will remain the way it is- beautiful and blooming.
Believe! This is forever
Another lesson that marriage teaches you in a year’s time is that you need to stop living in the fear of ‘I hope our marriage works out and lasts forever!’ Believe in yourself, believe in your spouse and most importantly, believe in your love and understanding. In short, JUST BELIEVE! Have faith and know that marriage is for keeps.
Learning these important lessons within the first year of your marriage will definitely make your bond strong and your love last, forever!
Relationships are the most beautiful part of a human life and they always must be fresh at any state as they were in the initiate state.
