 For some couple, whose been married for quite some time now, having a successfully exciting and passionate relationship with your spouse seems like a bleak picture. You love and adore each other but having that same passion and zeal like newly weds sounds like a joke. You have sex every now and then, it’s not as mind-blowing and as regular as it used to be but it’s satisfying enough.
You’re not complaining and you’re certain your spouse is cool with everything. You believe that if you put a lot of effort in your relationship, pressure and high expectations will grow between the two of you. Making what use to be a peaceful and easy companionship highly demanding and stressful.

Your theories may be right but I don’t totally agree. If your union is heading to “boredomeville”, it’s time to do something about it before your relationship becomes non-existent. I don’t mean that you have to exhaust yourself emotionally, mentally and physically to have that “high school love affair” feeling back or that five-hour-sex marathon you used to do.
I believe that to prevent the spark of enthusiasm from dying, healthy marriage is required. To have a maintainable happy relationship you have to exert yourselves to have a healthy marriage. A healthy marriage is all about looking after your spouse and giving quality time for each other. You can never achieve happiness in your relationship if it’s bothered by the distrust or inattention disease.
To have a successfully healthy marriage, here are some few suggestions. Nurture intimacy, I don’t have to mean that you have to have sex every night. Sex is just another component of intimacy. Intimacy is having good communication and paying attention and being considerate to your spouse. Intimacy is about togetherness and tenderness.
Saying “I love you” everyday, saying “thank you" and "you’re welcome”, saying “sorry”, kissing and hugging each other goodbye, goodnight or welcoming each other from work are forms of intimacy. Fixing your husband’s tie, helping your wife dress up, saying something nice to each other, holding each other’s hands, or just hanging around and be alone together, these are small acts of intimacies but this can have a deep impact in your relationship.
Incorporating little acts of intimacies in your daily lives give you a healthy marriage. Another way to have a successfully healthy marriage is to have sense of humor. Married life is tough, with all the stress and problems it’s important not to lose your sense oh humor. There are tribulations in your relationship that are very hard to handle or cope, instead of letting it take the best of you or taking it out on each other, why not try laughing it out? Find humor in adversity.
It’s eases up the mind and it’s good for the soul. Lastly, to have a healthy marriage, never lose respect of each other. With respect there’s love, acceptance, compromise, and forgiveness. Loving your partner without expecting anything in return is respect. Accepting your partner as he or she is the essence of respect and knowing the fact that your spouse can commit errors, you forgive, is respect.
In other words, treat your partner the way you want to be treated and you will attain a blissfully meaningful union. Obtaining healthy marriage is having contentment and happiness in your marriage. Successfully healthy marriage, it’s possible.
