Question

Do you know someone in a happy marriage? This could be a family member, friend, colleague, classmate, teacher, etc. If you can, interview them about what they think makes for a long-lasting and happy marriage. They must have been married for at least two years. If you are married yourself (and believe yourself to be happy!), you can interview your own spouse.

Ask them what they believe is the "secret" to happy marriages. Why is their own successful? Was it always this way or what did they have to do or change along the way? What is the biggest challenge they face (or have faced) in their marriage? What advice would they give to newlyweds?

Answer 1

I am a married person and leading a happy married life since last five years. Wehn I interviewed my wife regarding the questions, the responses are as below:-

                The main secret of the successful marriage is how good understanding you are having with your better half. There are some incidences where there are some conflicts in the married life but these must be resolved with the help of healthy communication. Trust, believe and affection towards the partner is the key to successful married life.

Well, managing conflicts and disputes in married life does not have any standardized solution. The method which can eb used in the conflict situation depends on he very situation in hand. But in the opoinion my my partner, communication and being candid, not hiding any thong fro the partner are the fundamental rules which must be followed all the time.

The biggest challenge which was faced by my partner was when I had a job assignment in India and I had to be there for six months and at the same time, one of her friends told my partner that I am having an affair with an Indian origin lady which was completely baseless. This problem was sorted out when we both had an open and candid interaction.

My advice to the newlyweds will be to look for the positives in your partner. Noone is perfect but how to make that imperfect quality to be perfect is not a good idea as it will create an issue, In fact, managing with changing situations and roles, open discussion and most importantly trusting and believing your partner is the key to have haa ppy married life.
