Marriage is one of the most enjoyable but also one of the most painful
experiences that people undergo. It carries with it the whiff of romance
and eternal bliss, but sometimes you get a pack of thorns instead.
How Do You Ensure Your Marriage Is a Bed of Roses and not Thorns?
One of the major ingredients that a happy marriage needs is a
willingness to compromise. But that is much more difficult than it
seems. Everyone will agree that they need to compromise, but what
happens when the issue is not a simple and tiny one? What then? Who
Compromises first? I am sure you must have said to yourself at one point
or another that enough is enough. You will no longer be the patsy. You
are an independent person and your partner has crossed the line. Maybe.
Maybe your relationship has died and you are just beginning to realize
it. Maybe your sentiments are more passionate than romantic. Maybe you
no longer love her.
Stop being a fool!
What if I told you that the solution to your marital strife is not
divorce. Am I mad?
Look around. How many divorces do you know? Plenty. Me too. But are they
really happier off?
What is the first thing that a divorced person does? He or she goes out
and starts looking for partners.
Isn't that strange? No. You say that everybody needs somebody to love.
Maybe. I say that they had that somebody and they just let them go. So
please stop being foolish.
Why not tackle your problems with a simple suggestion? A Game.
Games as a Peace Maker:
Playing brings out the child in us and causes us to express more than we
normally would. We also release bottled up frustration and let go of
mental thorns in our outbursts of joy and anguish as we win or lose.
Games unite people together and therefore I suggest playing together but
if you wish one can play against the other. The game turns into a battle
but only this time, after its over, you will both feel refreshed from
losing all that bottled up pain and anger.
Games to Pick From:
Try picking games that both of you like or at least somewhat active
ones. You could even play hide and seek in the house or something else.
If you do prefer playing cards, pick a game which does not go on for
long and which requires some thinking like hearts, poker, bridge or
rummy. Keep score and determine before hand that the loser has to do
something for the winner. Chores is not a prize for the winner! If you
lose you have to do something that that the other person wants for
themselves like give them their favorite massage or cook them their
favorite meal.
Conclusion:
Games are a welcome ambrosia to love and will excite you as a couple to
disregard all your frustrations and anger and deal only with the good.
The anger and frustrations will not magically disappear, but now you can
deal with them together calmly and in a good mood.
