Divorce is an unpleasant process that many people have had to go through.
Divorced people look at strong couples and ask themselves, "How do they manage to maintain relationships for decades? It's so hard!"
It turns out there is a factor that unites most close-knit families.
And, oddly enough, it is not always about great love for each other.
The Secret to a Strong Marriage
Many couples stay together for decades thanks to mutual respect.
If the husband respects his wife, and the wife respects her husband, then the marriage is highly likely to last a very long time.
The relationship may lose passion and romance. The spouses may forget about common interests. The family may face serious financial difficulties. But if the partners respect each other, the couple will most likely be strong.
And vice versa: if mutual respect has disappeared from the relationship, then it is unlikely that anything will help save the marriage.
What rules should spouses follow?
Firstly, you can't criticize your other half in conversation with other people. If you have any complaints about your partner, it's better to tell him about it personally.
Secondly, we need to respect each other’s interests and views.
Thirdly, you should be calm about your partner's shortcomings and mistakes. It is advisable to focus on the advantages: pay attention to what a good parent your other half is, admire your spouse's success in the professional sphere.
Fourth, insults are unacceptable. Fifth, you need to maintain sincerity in relationships. Sixth, it is important to remember about self-respect.
