2. Choose peace

When you see a happy couple, it’s hardly ever because they never have issues or fight.

It’s because they know how to handle it.

Happily married couples choose peace in their personal lives and marriage daily.

They do this by practicing forgiveness and tolerance and creating space for each other’s excesses.

They understand that no one is perfect and mistakes will happen, so they’re patient with each other as they navigate life.

Conflict resolution is not a time to bicker at each other or judge each other but a time to dialogue, understand each other’s perspectives, and arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.

This makes them more peaceful and happy as they address and resolve conflicts in their marriage.

3. Appreciate their partner

On some days, through words; on other days, through actions.

Happily married couples show appreciation for each other daily.

If a marriage is working, it’s because the people in it are making it work.

Couples who are happily married take time to express gratitude for each other’s efforts and dedication to the marriage.

They acknowledge the positive impact their partner has on them and how better their life is with them in it.

This makes them even more encouraged and motivated to do more.
