Misunderstandings can be fatal for a marriage. Whether it is because of in-laws, someone at work or a friend. You two are now a unit, and there is nothing like you or me. After all, in a marriage, it’s not you vs. your partner, it’s you two vs. the problem. Whenever there is someone who says anything against your partner, never participate in the conversation, even if it is with your in-laws. Never complain about them to a friend. You can discuss, but ask for help and avoid anyone who says bad things about him or her. Try these,

• Never assume: Clarify instead of guessing what your partner meant.

• Use Clear Language: Be direct, not passive-aggressive.

• Pick the Right Time: Don’t discuss issues when you are tired or stressed.

• Focus on the Issue: Avoid bringing up past fights or unrelated topics.

• Use a Soft Tone: How you say something matters as much as what you say.

Marriage in today's time is quite difficult. When you have a workload, nosy in-laws or anything that takes you away from your partner, try to sort it out. Make them understand your issues and discuss them. If you need, take therapy and sort it out. Divorce cases are on the rise in India. You can save your marriage by trying these simple tips. Build a happy married life, one day at a time!

Lots of Love!!!
