Marriage

Question 24:

How do you keep a marriage going without husband and wife getting bored with each other?

Answer 24:

It is necessary to continue making the effort to keep your relationship alive after marriage. Unfortunately, many people turn their attention to other concerns, such as career or children, after the wedding. While their partner was once most important, they let their relationship with their spouse slide down the list of priorities. Every couple must try to keep their relationship fresh, by trying to please each other (as they did when courting), by talking to and sharing interesting things with each other, and by doing things that both enjoy together.- It is very important to continue communicating, for only then will the friendship, trust and understanding between husband and wife continue to grow. At the same time, both husband and wife should develop their own individual interests so that they remain interesting people.
