Marriage is a blessing and a loving relationship that keeps families growing in the entire world.
Many people look at marriage to be an achievement while few people take it to be an option.
Besides it being beautiful and loving,a lot are suffering because it ends in tears when divorce is fostered.
Divorce is a very painful thing that can happen even without visualizing it. Alot of woman are affected because they start having a burden of having children with different surnames.
The good news is that, divorce can be reduced by the following steps:
1. Forgiveness. To err is human to forgive is divine. We can choose to forgive our spouses daily and continue to enjoy our marriages.
2. Submitting to each other. Most people think submission in marriage is a weakness but what they don't know is that it yields postive energy and makes marriage workable.
3. Tolerance. When you tolerate your partner's shortcomings you're communicating that you're also not perfect and it gives a sense of belonging.
4. Praying together. There is power in a couple that prays together. It doesn't matter the religion you belong to but worshiping together brings about an atmosphere that bonds souls together.
5. Avoiding sharing your misunderstandings to family and friends. Most people start to contemplate divorce when they hear their family and friends saying they are going through a lot in their marriages. If you keep your issues away from family and friends,you will be surprised how you will manage to sort them out and move on without receiving wrong advise.
6. Take self introspection. When a misunderstanding come between partners,it's important for both parties to pause and think deep with all honest and ask themselves a very honest question ( how did I contribute to the misunderstanding?) When that is answered within yourself in truth then you will discover that both parties will be willing to apologize and move on.
7. Avoiding unrealistic expectations. Marriage is a bed of roses and thorns because sometimes good things will happen and you will celebrate together, sometimes bad things will happen and that's where you need to be careful not to finger point each other but to comfort and strengthen each other.
8. Seek Marital wisdom from knowledgeable people. Not every grey hair is a reservoir of wisdom. Some people grow old with no wisdom while some can be young but we'll informed.we need to check the emotional intelligence of a person before we entrust them with our marital issues.
9. Take random dates. Marriage becomes exhausting when you just do the normal routine everyday hence making it to be come boring. Remember that going on a date ignites the love fire in a home. It is important once a while to leave everything behind and go out to chill together as a couple.
10. Keep reminding each other how special you are. Most couples easily fall out of love because they hardly affirm the love they have for each other and take it for granted that as long as we are together nothing can separate us.
