Keys to Our Happy Romantic Relationship

These are the keys to our happy relationship for fifteen years. My husband and I learn from each other everyday of our marriage. We make certain that we are never both angry at the same time. Neither of us needs to win an argument, we let the other one win. Eventually, if we are right, our spouse will see it, but no conflict is needed. If we criticize each other, we do it gently; constructive criticism is always good if delivered in a nice way. We both learn never to bring up mistakes of the past, keeping anything we are discussing to current situations. We try to say something kind or complimentary to one another at least once a day. My husband and I learned, as the years went by, to admit we have done something wrong and to ask forgiveness for it. We are not so proud that we cannot be truthful to each other in situations of fault. We do our best to never go to sleep with an argument unresolved. My husband and I try not to ever take each other for granted. These are the keys to our happy, loving and romantic relationship.

Sweetie, you and your husband practise the quentesential powers of Zen in your marriage and are therefore reaping the benefits of this insightfulness. Patience is something practised and fulfilling when people use it correctly.

I am happy for you both and extend Peace and Tranquility to you both, as you are shining examples of Harmony in your relationship.
