Somebody asked me: What is the secret to a happy spousal relationship? Well I ranked my brain trying to come up with something to pinpoint the magic formula of my matrimony. Marjorie and I have been married on May 7, 1960. That will make it Fifty one years, and 54 years if you add up Four years of dating, going stable and engaged. We've been through arguments, emotional stress resulting from creditcarddebt, almost anything. Actually Marge and I have little in common except that she likes me and I like her. We met while I was a dance tutor for a small dance studio. Hergood friend was one of my learners. One day Marge came along mainly because her friend’s vehicle didn’t work. We didn’t get to a good beginning because she assumed I had been some type of a show off, until she discovered I was the teacher. Afterwards, we kind of got dumped together when one of my fellow course instructors asked her girlfriend if she would get a pizza following the class. She would just agree if Marge would come with her and if another person would come along and keep Marge some company. Well to make long story short, we eventually got to understand each other better and have been together 55 years. In fact 6 months as we were going steady, Marge ‘suggested’ I find an alternative job mainly because in the dance studio ‘I was in the middle of too much temptation.’ So I said I'm going to get another type of work if you will wed me. She agreed and the next thing I know I'd been a mailman, the most effective move I’ve ever made. Eventually paid off all of my creditcarddebt! Here are some few ideas: 1) Never, never make an attempt to change your significant other. It is impossible to change anyone; it is possible to change oneself. You married your significant other the way they were so why would you want them to change? When you notice a flaw which could significantly impact your lifestyle or your thought of the perfect partner, then never marry that person. 2) Give up the need to be right always. Having the have to be correct might win you a couple of fights, but will lose you your matrimony. It’s up to you to cool off from a disagreement. 3) Give your significant other some space. We all need our space. Nobody wants to be pushed right into a corner. We all need a chance to think, dream, or simply rest. 4) Never ever put down any dream or hobby your better half pops up with no matter how ridiculous it might sound to you. Therefore the secret to a long and content relationship is "one of the partners must be a saint." Yep,Saint Marjorie. Happiness is the goal to a successful relationship. Shoot for it and get rid of those actions that might jeopardize it.
