Present a united front. Don’t denigrate your partner to anyone else. Remember the wonderful things that attracted you to your mate, and don’t be shy about letting others know about these qualities.
Conflict is your friend. There are differences in every relationship – what makes or breaks a marriage is how partners choose to resolve those conflicts. Ignoring them is not the solution. That would be like ignoring cancer in the hope that it will go away by itself. Actually when conflicts are resolved successfully, the relationship can move to an even higher level of stability and intimacy.
Gain perspective from trouble. All marriages will present problems along the way, and events such as war, separation, illness or financial hardship will test a couple’s strength in dealing with them.
- Many marriages fail today because the people involved do not know how to
show love for one another since they were brought up in a loveless relationship.
Listen with empathy. Empathy is your ability to see things from your partner’s perspective. Listen to your partner and tune in to his/her feelings. Whatever your partner is feeling “makes sense” from his or her perspective. When you start to “get it”, you will know not only what your partner is feeling – you will also understand why. You are ready for the next step.
Look for someone who shares your values. Any couple can expect to argue, a normal part of human behavior. But sharing similar values and goals can keep them from serious, destructive fights that can destroy the marriage.
Make it sweet. Nobody likes to be scolded. Express those feelings of love as strongly as you can! That sweetness will make what follows a lot easier to swallow.
Look for win-win solutions. Don’t settle for a compromise “lose-lose” solution. In an atmosphere of love and trust, couples can come up with creative solutions that are satisfying to both partners.
Money matters. Pick a mate you trust, and trust him or her. Set your financial goals together, and work together to meet them.
Keep love alive. Infatuation fades, but a couple can sustain attraction, enthusiasm and the comfort of sex over time. If you keep your love alive, you won’t get bored.
Don’t try to fix every problem you have over the next year. Focus on improving two or
three particular problem areas, and then when you make progress add another area from
your original list. Then, next year go out for dinner and review the progress you made over
this past year, celebrate your success, and make a new list for this coming year.
Try to make your partner happy. People who love one another try to be understanding, considerate and generous.
Respect your partner’s opinion. You might not always agree, but you should listen.
Follow-up. Remind one another of your solution and check on a regular basis to see how it is working. If necessary, discuss the situation again and review the results of your first solution. Make adjustments and try again.

Marriage is just like any other important undertaking. You need to work hard to make things work and never take anything for granted. Always remember that making marriage work requires a lot of hard work. Since marriage involve two people, you and your spouse need to work hand in hand in making your marriage work. If one of you is not willing to make sacrifices for your marriage, things will not really work out well. To help you and your spouse make your marriage a success, here are some tips for you.
Commitment
Just commit yourself to making your marriage work. Relationships can not be successful if the commitment is not shown by each party involved. You must be committed to your spouse in order to make your marriage work. You should do some serious soul searching prior to your marriage. Be sure you are willing to spend the rest of your life with your spouse, regardless of what comes your way. Decide what to do and follow through on it.
You have to keep in mind that marriage is more than emotions, it is an important life decision. Making a marriage work demands a commitment from the couple to really try their best to make the marriage last forever, yet it is not an easy task. This commitment does not insure that there will not be some bumps in the road along the way, but it will make it easier for the two of you to work through them when they hit.
Communication
The key to making marriage work is open communication. You need to let your spouse know how you feel and you need to be sensitive to your spouse’s feelings too. According to experts, marriages usually start to breakdown when couples neglect to communicate to each other. Never assume that your spouse knows what you are thinking. Your spouse cannot read your mind so you need to tell him or her how you feel. If your spouse truly loves you, he or she will understand how you feel so do not hesitate to tell him or her.
If you and your spouse have been keeping secrets from each other, try to open up to each other. You do not really have to share all your secrets to your spouse if you do not want to or if the secret will only make things more complicated. But as much as possible, you need to share with your spouse any information that can affect your relationship with each other. Yes, it is not always easy to share your secrets with your spouse but it you are really committed on the idea of making your marriage work, you just have to do what is needed to keep your relationship with your spouse healthy.

As I’ve been visiting my parents this week, I’ve noticed that after thirty-five years of marriage, things seem to be going pretty well. Since my mother has managed not only to stay happily married to my weird, gregarious, obnoxious, romantic, alpha-male father, but also to get him to do just about anything she wants him to do, I figured she’s an expert on marriage and might have some nifty tips to share with our About readers. Menfolk, stop reading now. This is top-secret stuff for women only.

Michael and I recently celebrated twenty-one years of blissful married life. We’re a blended family, and have far exceeded the statistics of most blended families dissolving within five years. As we drove to Prescott, Arizona ( a very quaint community), we thought it’d be fun to write down twenty-one things we’ve learned in twenty-one years of marriage.
1. On our first anniversary, we heard an older couple talk about the “us and the them.” We were the “us” and everyone else (kids and in-laws included) became the “them.” We drew a circle around our “us” to protect it. Have you?
2. Michael said, “You have to be in it (the marriage) or it’s just a game. One can’t get around it. You won’t get any benefits and you’ll just use the other person instead of really learning the true blessing of giving love and respect.
3. Listening. We are still learning and we work on practicing this because we value each other enough to slow down our own world and hear the other person’s heart.
4. Be extremely gracious with each others inconsistencies and quirks (those little things that drive you crazy).
5. See the core (the person as to who they really are, the one that God sees) and speak to the core (believe the best of them-rather than lock them into past patterns) and grace the crud (the junk that sometimes seeps out in those moments where we knee jerk to life).
6. Don’t knee jerk in a conflict and if you do recognize that it’s because of your own sense of shame. Find out what the core root of that shame is and face is and make it be your servant rather than be a slave to it.
7. Develop and implement a weekly marriage staff meeting that insures one-flesh movement. It’s natural to tend to gravitate toward our own worlds and we do so unless we discuss and make plans for our world that fits into His world (God’s).
8. Discover and develop a personal life purpose (or mission) statement. Pen it down. Mine is: I live to use my power of influence to love deeply and change the world around me for the sake of the Kingdom.
9. Years ago we learned about something we call an arena. Arena’s must be defined. I’ll post a separate post to explain this. Understanding arenas have helped us in a huge way.
10. Men, learn how to love and women, learn how to show respect

What the heck are Christian marriage tips? Thats what I asked myself the first time a friend had suggested it. You see a few years ago my wife and I were having some problems in our marriage. We were starting to grow apart. The kids were growing up, and few had moved out on their own which left us alone together for the first time in 20 years! Alot of things had changed in those 20 years, so finally we agreed with a little prodding from our kids to seek help.
First we looked at all the typical avenues which was therapy with a psychiatrist downtown; group meetings with other couples in similar situations; or just trying to work it out amongst ourselves. None of it was really working for us. We started fighting again, and things were getting worse. We needed to find a solution…fast.
I was discussing my problem with a friend at work one day; when he mentioned that he had gotten some Christian marriage tips from a fellow believer several years back, and that it had helped save his marriage. Why had I not thought about this before? We had gone to church every Sunday for as long as I can remember, and suddenly it all seemed clear. We did some research online and then booked an appointment with our local pastor. It has been 2 years since then, and I am happy to tell you that our marriage is doing great and our family couldn’t be happier! We have God and some Christian marriage tips to thank for this.

Ladakh is known as the ‘land of the Lamas’ and the Buddhist of Ladakh prefer to call their religion Lamaism – which is much the same as Mahayana form of Buddhism. The wedding day of Buddhist is begun at a local temple where the couple separately asks for the blessings of Buddha. Both bride and groom are then dressed in outfits traditional to their region. At the mutually auspicious astrologically designated wedding time, the bride and groom are individually taken to the shrine room of their local temple or a hall hired for the occasion. Here, the couple sees each other for the first time on that day.
The ceremony begins as the entire assembly recites the Vandana, Tisarana and Pancasila readings. The couple then lights the candles and incense sticks surrounding Buddha’s image and offers him the flowers within the shrine. Because of the secularity of Buddhist weddings, there is no assigned set of marriage vows. However, the bride and groom will recite their expected undertakings using the Sigilovdda Sutta as a guide. After Sigiloydda Sutta speaks the vows, the bride and groom can exchange rings. If monks are present, their chanting will precede the marriage vows.

So if you are looking for a Ladakhi Buddhist life partner there’s no need to go anywhere, We at matrimonials.kashmirmart.com help you to find a wonderful life partner and make sure that when you meet your Kashmiri Buddhist Life partner, you both tie the knot of traditional Ladakhi wedding with the blessing of Buddha and your elders.
