The key to a successful marriage or relationship
It can be difficult to consider the possibility that you and your husband could not have a happily ever after while you're consumed with the excitement of your wedding.
However, cohabiting with someone else might be difficult, particularly if you've never been in a committed relationship before. For a marriage to be genuinely happy and successful, it requires respect in addition to work, devotion, and love.
Speaking to Briefly News, Paula Quinsee said building a healthy relationship requires having some courageous conversations to understand what is important to each other, what your expectations are of each other and your relationship and how you go about navigating this throughout the lifetime of your relationship.
"This involves the ability to communicate and resolve conflict effectively, have mutual respect and trust in each other, as well as the ability to navigate challenges together. Couples who prioritise their relationship and well-being, support their individual and collective goals, celebrate each other’s successes, and support each other through difficulties tend to have more enduring relationships, "she said.
To ensure continued growth and evolution as individuals and as a couple throughout a marriage, the certified Relationship Therapy Educator said that while moving through different life stages and milestones, priorities, needs, and outlooks change. She also emphasised that it is essential to have regular check-ins with each other as to where you are as a couple and the evolution of your relationship in the process.
"Continued growth in a relationship or marriage requires both partners to take accountability for their own personal development and wellbeing and not expect their partners to do this for them or to make them happy. This can be achieved by setting individual goals, constantly communicating their personal aspirations and the potential impact this may have on their relationship (e.g. studies, having children, etc)," she adds.
The founder of Engaged Humans said that the common challenge couples face in long-lasting marriages is the lack of communication, and to overcome this, one should prioritise quality time with their partners, such as date nights, time away together, etc
"To maintain effective communication and having regular check-ins on where they are at with their personal or relationship goals and any adjustments that may need to be made along the way to keep them aligned and on the same page as each other.
She ended off by saying that couples can strengthen their relationship by practising active listening skills, co-creating emotional safety to enable them to express their emotions openly, and showing up with compassion and empathy vs reactivity. This requires a level of emotional awareness and the ability to self-regulate their emotional state.
