MARRIAGE: can simply be seen as a legal Union,usually between a man and a woman. With this,marriage is regulated by laws,rules,custom,belief and attitude.
✅What do you think makes a marriage successful ?
Marriage in the first place comes with so many attribute, but most importantly respect and trust are the most paramount things that make a successful home last as long as marriage is concern. There are many factors that contribute to a satisfying and successful marriage such as; Love, Commitment, Trust, Time, Attention, Good Communication including Listening , Partnership, Tolerance, Patience, Openness, Honesty, Respect, Sharing, Consideration, Generosity, Willingness/Ability to Compromise, Constructive. So to me if couples practice all these,definitely there won't be anything to worry about.
✅How can couples improve communication in their marriage?
Communication in marriage is very important and helpful, but effective communication I.e making the message clear for your partner to hear it accurately and understand what you mean .Talk about what's happening and how it affects you,talk about what you want,need and how you feel about something. Also practicing active listening and its requires concentration, tolerance and sensitivity,Avoid criticism and blame,practice empathy,resolving conflict,expressing yourself,interpreting body language,pay attention to each other,whether the conversation is important or not to avoid disrespect and arguments.
✅Discuss the importance of trust in a marriage.
Trust is important in relationships because it allows you to be more open and giving. If you trust your partner, you are more likely to be forgiving of their shortcomings or behaviors that irritate you because overall you believe in them and know they have your back. Trust means that you rely on someone else to do the right thing. You believe in the person's integrity and strength, to the extent that you're able to put yourself on the line, at some risk to yourself. Trust is essential to an effective team, because it "provides a sense of safety". Its allows partners to experience emotional and commitment safety.
✅How do couples navigate conflicts in a healthy way?
First and foremost,Seek out the source of conflict, i.e Identifying where a conflict is rooted helps to determine a path forward. Don't focus on being right or winning,whenever couples go into disagreement with mutual respect,you're less likely to say things you don't mean to say. Expression of thoughts and feeling is very important and also make couple know where and how to solve them,don't blame your partner regardless. As couples,it'll be very important when involved in argument or conflict do well by taking your time to listen to each other complain,so you could use the extra time to talk it through and settle it with ease.
✅Do you consider distance between spouse and cultural differences a problem in marriage? Why?
No reason be that every negotiations would be among the couples, though some culture doesn't allow bringing a different language into their family because they may be able to adhere to some of the cultural differences. While some culture like mine doesn't consider that as a problem. Yes marriage can survive long distance if you and your partner both want it,though long distance marriage are usually tough,but they're not impossible is just the matter of understanding and acceptance.
