The most important thing when it comes to marriage is maintaining the trust and keeping the fire burning throughout the years. In order to avoid marriage problems, you will have to prevent them. Marriage consists of ups and downs, as we learn and grow side by side. No healthy marriage goes without arguments; however they can be constructive or destructive to the relationship. In the case of constructive argument we accept the differences by clarifying the misunderstandings. We forgive each other’s flaws and forget the mistakes. While destructive arguments contribute to accumulation of unresolved conflicts and eventually destroy that feeling of love.

Effective marriage and relationship advice include polishing your ability to express feelings. When we do not communicate our feelings we push our partner away, a partner that is sometimes desperate for clues as to what is happening. Women often feel they are being taken for granted. If the initial “honey moon phase” of excitement and mutual exploration passes females tend to doubt their partner’s feelings (appreciation). Lack of affection manifestations might indicate a certain level of negligence on behalf of their partner. But it does not indicate that the feelings are gone. Interestingly enough, men tend to feel unappreciated and neglected too, it happens when women stop making in effort in their apparel (dressing up) and become monotonous and predictable. Marriage relationship advice calls on women to be creative and spontaneous in order to avoid a negative impact that the routine can have on one’s marriage. In fact, according to a great book on relationship advice that I came across called The magic of making up, men will tend to shift objects of their desire if they do not feel admired.
Therefore females thrive for attention and signs of affection while all males need to be admired and appreciated.

Marriage is like a garden and needs to be nurtured with care and romance on daily basis. If you do not invest yourself in your relationship, you will not seed any long-term benefits. A passion passes if not maintained. Take an example of something you once had real pleasure in doing. Whether it was taking violin lessons when you were 10 or a country you once visited that blew your mind away. Whatever that was that you once felt passionate about, but you had to set aside or voluntarily abandon. Now think about it, if you had pursued that drive and dedicated your life to the matter, where would you be? Only god knows where, but the point is that if you do not apply yourself vigorously to a source of joy and pleasure it tends to fade away! If you let your marriage crack, without working on it, it will eventually collapse. Best marriage advice would be to literally dedicate yourself to your partner. And to realize that everlasting love requires patience and understanding. After all, no great victories come effortlessly!
