      Preface

      We have lived amidst different centuries, and we have seen the many different courses of changes in our lives, too. Over the years, we have also seen couples around us, some married, some committed to each other, and some even divorced. With each new generation, there was a change in the quality of love and marital relationships, and as we move forward, we continue to find more and more information on what needs to be done to keep a marriage healthy.

      It is important, specifically in the 21st century, to realise that the need for romantic love and satisfaction in a marital relationship is real. In the middle of these ever-changing times, there exists a responsibility for both the parties in a relationship; to learn how to guard and enhance their understanding of each other, more so, their love for each other. If you look around to learn from someone else’s experience, who self-report their marriage as good, you can only question; what makes their marriage successful and worthwhile? In understanding what makes up a good marriage, there can be confusions; so in an attempt to narrate this the easy way, mention of a few qualities that most couples possess and exercise is very important.

      It is even more real to understand that our love and marital relationships far outweigh other things of our lives. To live in a satisfying marital relationship is much more important for one’s personal well-being than professional success, financial status, or even religion for some people.

      When you voluntarily enter into a marriage contract with someone, you expect more life out of that relationship. You demand emotional satisfaction, endless support, lifelong love, and a stable future for your family. However, even being in such a relationship cannot guarantee any success, unless we focus on our personal qualities. So, in looking at the qualities of a good marriage, there is a need to focus more on cognitive and personal characteristics of both the parties. However, since each person varies with their beliefs, attitude, and general way of life, a few common qualities can be talked about; ones that really help bring success in a marital relationship.

      In this book, the focus remains on the importance of a good marriage, what are the negative, toxic aspects in a marriage, how you can guard your relationship practicing a few qualities, how you can bridge the gap between your struggling relationships, and self-report that your marital relationship is good.

      If your relationship is new or if it has already passed the test of time, know that you may not be doing some things right. However, with the right manual, you can get past the gloomy days in your marriage and reconnect with your partner. That is to say, you are the creator of your happiness, and at any point in life, you and your partner can get better as a team.

      Introduction

      We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for a moment that we’re not alone. ― Orson Welles

      We see and experience the originality of this world through our own eyes, we also hold our experiences within ourselves. When we are born alone, and when we die alone, why is there a need for someone else amidst this phase? Why do we need to live with others to create momentary illusions for ourselves, to not feel alone, or to not exhaust ourselves with the familiarity or uncertainty of this world? Do we need people around us so we can share our thoughts and experiences with them, so we can understand things from varying perspectives, so we can truly live with support?

      People, even if they share the same experiences as us, can only make us wonder what it is like to live like them. We can only understand others vicariously, using our own thoughts. But as we continue to spend time around them, we slowly understand why we need those people around us.

      So, even if we are made to die alone, we need someone by our side. The time we spend in between the time of our life and death needs us to have someone; family, love, friendship. This someone is meant to be there for us emotionally, spiritually and physically; someone we can tend to in times of need, someone whom we can share our happiness with, and divide our problems.

      In your life, you must have also seen your parents, wondered how they had lived a long time being with each other. If they had ever faced the test of time, you must have also wondered why there is a need for someone else. It is inevitable you hadn’t seen anyone else’s experience and formed a meaning out of it to avoid being in that situation.

      But, with each individual, the story varies. Experiences, values, qualities, and perceptions are different for everyone. How would you live if
