Yesterday
was my marriage anniversary and my husband and I were
reflecting about the day we got married, and what
has kept us together. So, I will like to share with
you some of the things that maintain our relationship
running.
If
you noticed I wrote “working” on our relationship
because our marriage is not perfect. I do not believe
there is such a thing. Yes we do get along, share
some of the same ambitions and at the moment we do
not have any major marital problems. Disagreements
we have them all the time but, hey my brother and
I were raised in the same household and it is actually
weird whenever we agree on something; Let alone someone
who grew up in a totally different environment. Here
is a list of the little things that keep us together:

-
Maintaining good humor! My husband like many hates to
get up on the mornings however, he likes it when I also
get up with a big smile and just talk to him about general
stuff over a cup of coffee while he gets ready. It is
surprising but, most of our best conversations arise at
this time.
- Patience:
Do I need to say more? Honestly some times I get a little
cranky, when tired and somehow I convince myself it is
all his fault and poor guy having to put up with me. Hey,
sometimes I have to be patient too! It is not easy telling
a guy to remember to put the toilet seat down all the
time.
- Little
details: We both love details and please do not start
thinking about the most expensive gifts. This can be anything
from saving a piece of your pie for him to buying a simple
gift or showing appreciation etc, especially when it is
not an important date such as a birthday or anniversary.
- Support
each other: Yes he is always repairing a computer, stuck
on TV or a video game but it surprises me how he comes
back to planet Earth whenever I need him.
- No
back stabbing: Imagine you found out your partner tells
his family every single flaw you posses? Even worse add
a couple of extra ones. How would you feel? or how about
you call your family and friends every time you have a
small problem? Do you thing they will think less of him?
Believe that he does not deserve you? If you need help
there are always professional counselors.
- Respect
for each other: He accepts me the way I am even when not
on the same terms and I do the same for him.
Remember
I am not a relationship expert! These are just some tips
that have worked for us so far but, remember always treat
your partner the way you want to be treated.
Best
of Luck,
Kenia
