After entering marriage, both partners hope their feelings for each other will last like everlasting flowers, never withering.
No matter how time changes, staying as vibrant as when they first bloomed.
Some couples drift apart and become the ones who hurt each other the most, while others grow happier in the mundane days.
Keeping the spark alive in a relationship is not difficult. The key to couples staying together until old age starts with “no matter.”
No Matter How Big the Storm, Solve Problems Together
In a marriage, when hearts are connected, holding hands through any storm makes problem-solving easier.
I once knew a young couple:
Shortly after they got married, the wife was diagnosed with a serious illness that required a large sum of money for treatment.
The husband left to raise the funds.
On the first day he left, the woman couldn’t sleep in the hospital room, worrying with tears in her eyes, whispering, “Will he not come back?”
By the second day, her eyes lost their sparkle.
Finally, on the third day, the man returned, dusty and tired. He opened his bag, revealing a substantial amount of money, even including change. He told his wife that she could be saved.
He had borrowed money from everywhere. The wife recovered, with a lot of debt, but they didn’t give up and faced it together.
Now, their kids are starting elementary school, they run a restaurant, and they lead a happy life.
Genuine couples, who love each other, will not run away when faced with difficulties or challenges.
British historian Smith once said:
“Marriage is like a pair of scissors, two blades that cannot be separated. Though they move in opposite directions, they always come together to deal with what comes between them.”
Couples who truly last a lifetime will never think of giving up on nurturing their relationship, no matter how tough it gets.
No Matter How Dull Life Gets, Express Love Actively
A friend’s parents were on the verge of divorce due to constant arguments.
The mother felt she had spent her whole life taking care of her husband and children without receiving equal love in return. Her husband didn’t understand her or her feelings.
Though they both cherished the family deeply, they struggled to get along.
Later, my friend disguised an interview with her father under work-related pretenses.
Her father expressed his deep affection for his wife, stating how important she was to him and how beautiful she was in his eyes. Hearing this softened the mother’s heart, and their relationship improved.
Expressing care and love in the right way is vital for keeping a marriage fresh.
The duty in marriage is not just about loving each other for a long time but overcoming boredom.
Being together for a while, knowing what the other will say, like, or do, can become dull and uninteresting, leading to a lack of engagement.
Couples should express their love from the heart occasionally, offer small surprises, and add a sense of ceremony to their days to stabilize their relationship.
No matter how monotonous life may seem, injecting some sense of ceremony ensures a lasting bond between spouses.
No Matter How Your Partner Changes, Treat Them with Care
In marriage, it’s not about one-sided demands or giving; it’s about both partners doing their best and understanding each other to the fullest to reach their full potential.
Over time spent together, the filters between partners fade away.
In the trivialities of life, they see each other’s true selves: flaws, childishness, and the most relaxed states.
They may notice things they don’t like in each other, leading to many adjustments.
Couples who excel at nurturing their marriage consider their partner’s feelings more and learn to empathize.
Regardless of their partner’s flaws or shortcomings, they always see their efforts, love, and shining qualities.
From the depths of their hearts, they appreciate and accept their partner.
No matter how things change, nurturing the relationship with care allows couples to go the distance.
The Relationship Between Couples Requires Effort
True love means treating your partner with care, regardless of how they change, how time passes, or how dull life may seem.
On the journey ahead, no matter what happens, as long as the hearts of the couple are united, offering each other companionship, understanding each other’s emotions, they will find more happiness.
