How to Make Your Marriage Last Forever

Keeping a marriage together is simply using the right words

You may have seen me discuss writing as well as money tips, but I bet you didn’t know I will be married for 20 years this December. Statistics show 39% of every marriage ends in divorce. Those are crazy numbers if you think about it. This is down from the 50% it was a few years ago.

No one who gets married excepts they’ll soon call their spouse my ex but it happens. Going into marriage, I didn’t want to call my spouse my ex-wife. I did one thing that is so simple that you need to consider.

Growing up, I saw my own parents get separated and then divorce shortly after. For a kid, that’s not a good feeling and I remember those days. No kid should have to go through seeing their parents divorce.

This is a simple step that anyone can use, including you. I don’t claim to be a marriage specialist by any means. Hopefully, this tip will help whether you have been married for a few months to several years.

What is marriage?

Marriage is a change for anyone. Up to this point, you have been single. You may have dated once or even a few times. Getting married is a big change and possibly the biggest change you can go through.

If you ask my wife, I was a hard person to change after we got married. I was used to being independent and doing things on my own. I liked my freedom and doing things I wanted to do.

You may be the same way. When you get married, I becomes we. You are no longer a single person but a married person. You have to learn to do things with your spouse. Things you want to do, sometimes need to get approval from your spouse.

This sounds so simple but it’s very hard. For someone who been independent most of their life and then now has to be live with another person, there is a lot of change involved. When in a marriage, you have to be willing to change. Both parties need to change if you want the marriage to last.

One agreement I made to myself and told my wife

When you get married you go through your marriage vow and say until death do you part or something similar. This is part show and ceremony. Within minutes everything changes.

Since I knew what it was like as a child of divorced parents, I didn’t want to see my marriage end in divorce. No one should unless there are serious problems in the marriage.

Some problems can be worked out through talk and discussion. Other problems may require seeing a marriage counselor.

Within a year or so of the marriage, I told myself I would not say the word divorce. Just saying the word divorce only leads to divorce. I told my wife the same. I told her you can’t say the word divorce.

Within the first few years I was married, my wife would say I’m getting a divorce. I don’t know if she was joking or serious. Before she could continue, I would say you can’t say the “d” word.

A lot of marriage is miscommunication. So communicating with your spouse is the most important thing you need to do. Many spouses think the other partner can read your mind. This is far from true.

When married you need to talk. Talk about problems, issues, money, and things you want to do. When you talk to your spouse, this solves a lot of problems.

Final thoughts

Without making this an endless article, I’ll keep this short. Marriage is not an easy topic and there are so many different tips that can be shared. I believe if you visualize your future with your spouse, you can be married forever.

Communication is key for any marriage to get through the good as well as the bad times. No marriage is perfect. You can’t believe everything you see on television or the movies.

Talk things out and try to make the best of the difficult situations. Just remember, divorce should be the last resort.
