The Happy Marriage Puzzle

The union of two strangers who have gotten to know each other well enough to build a life together is probably one of the most beautiful human social constructs. However, maintaining a happy marriage is much more difficult than many people understand. There are a number of things that need to be considered and evaluated before the marriage takes place.

Here are just a few of the factor that play into having and maintain a happy marriage:

Friendship

The person you marry must be your best friend. It is through friendship that one can build trust in his or her relationships. And through that trust, romantic bonds are built that may last forever. Friendship is the foundation of any strong romantic relationship.

Role Expectation

Each person in the marriage must understand exactly how he or she is expected to behave, and what he or she is expected to bring to the relationship.

Emotional Intimacy

Marriage brings a sense of safety and security to a person’s state of being, and part of that safety is feeling safe that sharing one’s feelings openly with the other person will not be met with judgment or prosecution.

Vision and Goals

The two individuals in the marriage must agree on the future of their lives as they exist together. This includes how the household will be managed and also how children will be cared for. All of this will be factored into the agreement.
