Marriage Lesson 1: No man will love you forever.

Marriage Lesson 2: Don’t expect a man to change for you.

Marriage Lesson 3: Sometimes two people are lonelier together than one.

Marriage Lesson 4: Marriage is an exchange of values. No matter how good you are to a man, he is not as valuable as you are.

Marriage Lesson 5: Passion will always fade, and dullness is the main theme of life. When you first enter into marriage, love is strong, and everything seems to be shining. But as time goes by, daily necessities gradually dilute the passion, and the romantic dates of the past are replaced by daily trivialities. At this point, you need to understand that mediocrity is not a bad thing, but rather a product of life. Being able to find long-lasting happiness in the ordinary is the true meaning of marriage.

Marriage Lesson 6: Maintaining self-independence is the secret to keeping a marriage fresh. Once a woman falls into marriage, she tends to lose herself and revolve around the family. But when you lose yourself, your charm will disappear quietly. No matter when, you must have your own interests, career, and social circle, and constantly improve yourself. This will not only make you confident but also make your partner continue to appreciate you.

Marriage Lesson 7: Learn to communicate effectively and avoid the accumulation of conflicts. Conflicts between husband and wife are inevitable; the key is the way of communication. Many times, small problems turn into big arguments due to inappropriate words. You must learn to listen to the other person's ideas, express your own feelings honestly, and not blame or complain. Only in this way can you resolve conflicts and make the marriage relationship more stable.

Marriage Lesson 8: Don’t treat marriage as everything; there is still a lot of room in life. Placing all expectations on marriage will bring tremendous pressure to both parties. Marriage is a part of life, not the whole. If you have your own dreams and pursuits, and in the process of realizing your self-worth, you will find that life is rich and colorful, and your marriage will be better because of this fulfillment.
