Tips to build a happy relationship

Saw this in The Star a long time ago. Usually what I read will go into my other blog, but just felt that it’s a good piece to share with all. Especially with Valentine’s Day looming around the corner, here is something to ponder about:

● Be willing to change.

● Be honest to your spouse.

● Avoid competition between the two of you.

● Both must complement each other.

● Avoid being possessive and selfish.

● Be kind, gentle, patient and loving.

● Keep romance alive in your marriage.

● Say sorry if you have made a mistake.

● Be supportive in whatever he or she does.

● Have integrity and this will gain honour.

● Be a good listener, pay attention and be open.

● Give surprises as it adds tonic to the romance.

● Cracking jokes helps to build cheerful relationship.

● Never bring past problems and unpleasant incidents.

● Develop compassion for your partner and yourself.

● Know the likes and dislikes to shape the relationship.

● Exercise sweetness of speech and never use harsh words.

● Treat your spouse the way you would like to be treated.

● Leave little notes for him or her when you miss each other.

● Express appreciation by saying thank you even for everyday things.

● Practise forgiveness as sometimes mistakes are made unintentionally.
