Rules for a Strong Marriage

''Rules for Relationship Every Married Couple Must Follow.''

So, whether you're newly getting into a relationship or have been in one for some time, rules can help you level up. Simply follow these rules below and just watch the magic unfold.

1. Love without any conditions.

Love cannot have conditions. When ''if onlys'' start creeping into your relationship, it's very materialistic.

You are not going to set conditions on being in love with your partner like ''You can't love your partner if he earns more than you'' or ''he buys you gifts every month'' or ''she should always be beautiful'' or anything like that.

To love your partner unconditionally, like your parents love you.

2. You are prioritizing your connection.

Put your relationship first. You owe time to trump the demand and keep doing your best to improve your relationship.

3. Read this too: Maintain open lines of communication

If you do not communicate, you can become estranged from your relationship. Keep your communication open and honest. Come what may in your work and life, don't let that come in the way of your communication.

4. Hug whenever you can.

Integrate all the time and extend your hugs longer. Hugging drives up oxytocin (the love hormone) and lowers cortisol (the stress hormone).

5. Have sex often.

No planning sex, let it be spontaneous. It's thrilling and that's when intimacy builds between you. No excuses should stop you from having sex.

6. Spend quality time together.

You don't need to go on a date night, per se. You can also have a romantic dinner at home, relax in the garden or on the balcony, reminiscing, or watching your favorite TV show. It's a way to finish your busy schedules and keep close.

7. Provide transparency and honesty to breed trust.

Show honesty and truthfulness and build up trust. There are some small and harmless lies you can tell in order to please your partner, but cheating and infidelity have no standing in a relationship.

Find out what your partner's love language is. Again, if it's quality time, if it's physical intimacy, if it's words of affirmation, knowing what they are

will elevate your connection to its highest form.

8. Criticize but don't hurt.

Argue with the intention to better your partner, then the criticism should hardly be negative. Let your partner know why the criticism is being made.

9. Be there for each other.

You may not face challenging times, but if you do, you need to support your partner and demonstrate that your love for one another is resolute. And then your relationship will grow.

10. Look for the positives in your partner.

Show gratitude to your partner for whatever they did and appreciate them for even a simple or regular task. It signals that you care about and feel thankful for them, things that both tend to yield a long-term relationship.

11. Celebrate special days.

All the important days in your

relationship. Your first date, the day you met, the date of your partner's proposal, and of course, your birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Spending time together is worthwhile, it becomes cherished and memorable.

12. it's essential to understand your partner and empathize.

If your partner is in a bad mood and yells at you one day, empathize with him or her, and do not react in the same tone. Perhaps they had a rough day at work or were stressed. Try to get their side, understand what they're feeling, and in due time, learn what's bugging them.

13. Forgive and forget.

Mistakes happen. Forgive and forget if your significant other harms you. They will be prompted to follow suit when you make an error, forgiving you.

Take note, in the heat of the moment, recognize that it's ''the two of you'' versus the problem. Not you and your partner.

14. Keep your promises

It makes you trustworthy, reliable, and as a result, credible.

15. Just do your best and do your best.

That paltry flippant criticism that we might do a mistake, and get criticized. Do your best in your relationship no matter how your partner responds. That is all you can do. You can't control how your partner reacts to it.
