Society tells us we need love to be complete, but many people don’t quite know what real, healthy romantic relationships look like. When we compare our actual relationships to the ones we see projected in the media, it’s easy to feel like ours are falling short. Movies usually end just at the start of the characters’ romantic relationships. Movies distort the image of a romantic relationship, setting an unattainable standard. Wedding Affair brings to you some simple ways to strengthen your relationships during pandemic.

Seek help early

The average couple waits six years before seeking help for marital problems—and keep in mind, half of all marriages that end do so within the first seven years. This means the average couple lives unhappily for far too long.

Edit yourself

Couples that avoid saying every critical thought when discussing touchy topics are consistently the happiest and strengthen their equation.

Soften your “start-up”

Arguments typically escalate when one partner makes a critical or contemptuous remark in a confrontational tone. Bring up problems gently and without blame. This will strengthen your bond.

Accept influence

A marriage succeeds to the extent that the husband can accept influence from his wife. If a woman says, “Do you have to go out with your friends Friday night? My parents are coming that weekend, and I need your help getting ready,” and her husband replies, “My plans are set, and I’m not changing them,” this can create some shakiness in a marriage. A true partnership occurs when both husband and wife accept influence from one another. This also strengthen the bond.

Have high standards

Happy couples have high standards for each other from the beginning. The most successful couples are those that, even as newlyweds, refuse to accept hurtful behavior from each other. The lower the level of tolerance for bad behavior at the beginning of a relationship, the happier the couple will be down the road.

Learn to repair and exit the argument

Successful couples know how to exit an argument. After a fight, they repair by using attempts that include changing the topic to something completely different; using humor; saying a caring remark; establishing common ground; backing off; and offering signs of appreciation for each other along the way. If an argument gets too heated, take a 20-minute break, and agree to approach the topic again when you’re both calm.

Focus on the bright side

When discussing problems, successful couples make at least five times as many positive statements to and about each other and their relationship as negative ones. For example, “We have fun together,” instead of, “You never want to do anything.” A good marriage must have a rich climate of positivity. Make frequent deposits to your emotional bank accounts.
