What Is Marriage 3

Many couples are faced with asking themselves the age old question of “Why did I marry him/her in the first place?” Another popular question among married couples is “Did I ever really love him/her?” Most times couples can effectively answer these questions by
reviewing their courtship. Couples who were romantic during the period of their courtship may now feel led to exert more effort to commit themselves in their marriage to redevelop their existing relationship. Some married couples find it increasingly hard to maintain a fresh and vibrant marriage after a few years or after the birth of children. Couples tend to focus on family life, bills, and ensuring that the children’s needs are met while neglecting their spouse simultaneously. Couples must revisit the very feelings that made them fall in love with each other. One of the first questions you must ask yourself is “Did I fall in love with the person or the personification of the person through romance?” Often in relationships and life we often attempt to make ourselves look better than we are in order to impress others. Couples often times fall in love and marry a lie which is portrayed by their spouse as the “real me.” The earlier within the marriage the couple realize that they have fell in love with the romance of the relationship and not the person the better the marriage can recover more efficiently. Marriages must maintain an open and effective dialogue in which both parties can express themselves openly. Active courtship in a marriage is paramount, because each individual spouse owes each other intimate time. Couples should relive enjoyable experiences, and their decision to marry each other. Starting with the courtship period to the present the coupe must give each other an earnest account of where they feel their marriage is at the present and where it is headed. Maintain courtship and communication to enjoy a successful marriage.
