Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally and often legally recognized union between people called spouses. It establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children (if any), and between them and their in-laws. It is nearly a cultural universal, but the definition of marriage varies between cultures and religions, and over time. Marriage becomes a social construct to adjudicate the conflicts of interest between consenting individuals and a transactional means to fulfill their needs. (Wikipedia)

Here are several pieces of advice and insights that can be helpful for couples considering marriage or already married:

Communication is Key: Open and honest communication is vital to any relationship. Couples should feel comfortable discussing their feelings, needs, and concerns with each other. This includes talking about non-sexual aspects of the relationship, such as emotional intimacy, shared goals, and future plans.

Financial Planning: Couples should have open discussions about their financial situation, including their current income, debts, and future financial goals. Establishing a budget, setting financial goals, and being transparent about spending habits can help prevent financial conflicts in the future.

Conflict Resolution Skills: Every relationship experiences disagreements and conflicts. Learning effective conflict resolution skills can help couples navigate these issues in a healthy way. This includes active listening, expressing feelings respectfully, and finding compromises that both parties can agree on.

Shared Responsibilities: Sharing responsibilities in the home, such as household chores and childcare, can help prevent resentment and promote a sense of teamwork. Couples should discuss and agree on how they will divide these responsibilities before getting married.

Maintaining Individuality: While marriage is a partnership, it’s also important for each person to maintain their own interests, hobbies, and friendships. This can help prevent codependency and ensure that both partners continue to grow and evolve as individuals.

Setting Boundaries: Establishing clear boundaries in a relationship is crucial. This includes respecting each other’s privacy, personal space, and time for self-care.

Continuing to Date Each Other: Just because a couple is married doesn’t mean the romance should stop. Regular date nights and surprise gestures can help keep the spark alive and strengthen the bond between partners.

Learning to Apologize and Forgive: No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Learning to apologize sincerely and forgive each other is important for resolving conflicts and maintaining a healthy relationship.

Supporting Each Other’s Goals and Dreams: A strong marriage involves supporting each other’s personal goals and dreams. This includes being each other’s biggest cheerleader, offering emotional support, and helping each other achieve their aspirations.

Seeking Help When Needed: If a couple is struggling with certain aspects of their relationship, it’s important to seek help. This could be in the form of couples therapy, individual counseling, or even self-help books and resources.

These non-sexual pieces of advice can help couples build a strong foundation for a healthy, happy marriage.
