8 Guidelines To Help You Thrive In Your First Marriage Year

Newly married couples get a lot of “never go to bed angry,” and “always tell the truth.” And that’s it. The early times of marriage are extremely important for your future happiness. Marriage therapists refer to the first year as “the wet concrete year,” because it’s the period when both partners figure out how to settle as spouses without getting stuck with themselves, without cultivating bad patterns that might catch up with them later. It’s a period to establish good patterns and ways of being together that should continue for the rest of the marriage. There is a list of do’s we must make a priority 1. Firstly make your house a home- Create a space where the two of you completely want to spend moments together. You never want your home to look like an office or a pub that the two of you are just passing through. Make use of scented candles and soft blankets to completely embrace the composition of a happy and relaxed home. 2. Don't forget romance- Keep your phone off the dinner table, Avoid the temptation of always having your sweatpants on together all the time. This advice goes to both parties. 3. Maintain yourself- It is very simple to lose yourself in marriage, it is easy to nurture your relationship, and spouse and forget completely to nurture or care for yourself. 4. Learn to say thank you - Pay attention to the awesome things your partner does for you instead of pinpointing the negatives. Sending text messages as little as a thank you message can go an incredibly long way. 5. Go easy on yourself-   Not every day would be a good day or a perfect day, that's a sign that you are only humans. Don't beat each other up, what you should know is you can't learn about yourself in a day, learning is a process. Some days would be like an obstacle because you would have to carry your spouse up a mountain or through a pit. 6. Don't quit having adventures- You both can get the same effect from sampling a new gear of adventure together or riding the rollercoaster of an amusement pack together. Keep learning, maturing, and attempting new things together. 7. Select your objectives -Since you just started the relationship it's a good thing to set your expectations and objectives. It would be clearer for both of you to diversify with each other when you are aware of these expectations and goals. 8. Don't forget your friends-  Just because you have seen a soul that gels with yours you then neglect your friends. The previous times you shared with your friends would be divided but keep the balance. Introduce your partner to your friends, and make sure to maintain your social life even when you are now in a relationship.
