Happily Ever After – yes!
The planning is on point, decorations of silk banners and colorful balloons are vivid in a grand hall. Tables are meticulously set with metallic shiny decorative stars and bows on chairs that match the orange satin table cloths. Wow, grandeur! However it’s not a wedding but the extraordinary and unusual 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Jon and Peg [fictitious]. Their children thought it would be ideal for a momentous occasion.
The couple, grateful and humbled shed the fact that their lengthy marriage exist means they have beaten the odds of death and divorce – funny but true.
Happily ever after is continually working in ways to exist together. Marriage is a countless complex communion of life’s circumstances – bad stuff galore! However, to navigate the waters of that life, madaboutmarriage.com suggests there are three main things that happily married couples do to maintain a healthy relationship – to be committed, communicate well and to compromise. Commitment is mega action, as it is easy to throw in the towel at any point in the conundrum complexity.
Communication depends on attitude because good attitude matters a great deal, especially if there is any inkling of getting to a compromise. Lacking that builds into a spraying out of unpleasantness that piles on a deluge of disaster, adding to the sea of meandering issues. Many times we have to “let stuff go” – that menial sounding cliché can avoid the mountain of distaste and ugliness up ahead.
Happiness exists by talking through the little things, having a Happy outlook and having Happy moments – don’t steal your own Happiness. Take care of yourself, remember Happiness is within YOU – bring it out.
On another note, marriages can be in a groundhog day configuration, don’t sit there like a tightrope and be distressed – that leaves no room for no Happy points to seep in – create it!
Be the positive in a marriage, deliver Happy because it sheds greater possibility for Happiness, Yes!
