1. Things you shouldn’t stop saying to a partner after marriage
Marriage brings about a lot of changes in a couple’s life, including romance. Just like their relationship status, everything gets a new identity—how the couple lives, how they manage their finances and to some extent how they make love. No wonder they stop doing or saying certain things to each other once they get married. Although action speaks louder than words, yet words can sometimes make or break a relationship. Let’s look at a few things that married couples should not stop saying to each other.
2. I love you
Never underestimate the power of these three words, “I love you”. While lovers do not need any encouragement to express their declaration of love for each other, however, married couples slowly stop saying these words. Why? Perhaps they start taking each other for granted. When was the last time you told your husband or wife, “I love you”?
3. You look beautiful/handsome
When you compliment your spouse, it speaks volumes about your admiration and physical attraction. After marriage people get so busy in their life—striking the right balance between office and home—that they hardly get time to express their admiration for each other. Such compliments boost a partner’s self-confidence and keep the romance alive.
4. I am always there for you
Thanks to our busy schedules, we might be miles apart despite being physically close. According to experts, under such circumstances, it’s not uncommon for married couples to feel lonely. Saying these sweet words like, “I am always there for you,” is a great way to assure your partner that you will be there for him or her always.
5. Don’t worry, I will take care of it
There is nothing as comforting as a caring partner but after marriage, although the couple takes care of each other, they never express it. But when you convey your care through gesture and words, it can have a reassuring effect on the partner.
6. I have a surprise for you!
Boredom, which slowly creeps into a couple’s life, can destroy even the strongest relationships. And it’s not uncommon for married couples to suffer from boredom. That is why it’s important to keep alive this element of surprise. Next time you return home from office, get your husband’s favourite flowers and give him the bouquet saying, “Surprise!”. Or, cook your wife’s favourite meal and as she return home from office, serve her home-cooked dinner and don’t forget to say, “I have a surprise for you!”
7. Let’s go out on a date
One of the biggest misconceptions that people have is that their dating life comes to an end after marriage. Who said that you can’t go on a date with your spouse? Going on a date with your husband or wife helps to recreate the romance of their courtship period. So, keep the magic alive and do ask your spouse on a date once in a while.
8. Thank you
If you don’t already know about the strength of gratitude, let us tell you—gratitude has the power to change the world. When was the last time you thanked your partner for dropping you to the office or buying the grocery, paying your bills or cooking your favourite meal? In fact, you don’t need a reason to say the magical words, ‘thank you.’ You can simply say, ‘Thank you for being my life partner’ or ‘Thank you for being the mother/father of my children.’ And the universe will return your gratitude with interest.
