No matter the amount of tutoring you get about marriage before getting married, there are lessons you would learn when you actually get married.
Below are 7 lessons marriage teaches us
1. Marriage isn’t all rosy
Romantic movies always portray marriage as a rose without thorns and they always end the movie with the caption – ‘And they lived happily ever after’. The truth is you would have moments you would question your love for your partner. You would learn that there are moments you would have to dig deep to save your marriage.
2. You would learn to see your marriage as the best
Another useful lesson we learn after getting married is quitting comparisons and instead seeing our marriage as the best. Every marriage has its own peculiar problems but no one would tell you the struggles they face in their marriage. Comparing your marriage with that of others only kills your marriage quick and this is something marriage would teach you.
3. Competition kills a marriage
When you compete with your spouse, you end up killing your own marriage. This is something marriage teaches us. When you see marriage as a 50/50 game, you ruin your marriage. Marriage isn’t a game. The mentality of ‘if I do this, my spouse should do that’ isn’t needed in any marriage and this is something marriage teaches us.
4. Adventures help bring life to a marriage
When you get married, you would understand that it is very easy for your marriage to become boring. It’s important you keep adventure alive. You would understand that its easier to keep the fire alive than to bring back the spark when the flames in your marriage go off. Inject your marriage with adventure and don’t let the flame die.
5. Every moment counts
Sometimes we tend to celebrate the big moments and ignore the little ones. Marriage teaches us to acknowledge every moment and make it count. Don’t be too busy chasing money and forget to share special moments with your family because no matter how much you make, money can’t bring back those moments.
6. Forgiving is vital
Marriage would teach you to forgive for the sake of your marriage. Your partner would definitely make mistakes because your partner is human. Marriage would also teach us to ask for forgiveness when we wrong our partner instead of trying to shift blame.
7. Love conquers all
Marriage would certainly teach you that love conquers all. You would learn to look for more ways to love your partner even better because you would understand that your marriage would crumble if it lacks love. In the end, you would understand that love removes doubts and conquers all.
