1. The partner is not perfect
What does it mean? A good marriage does not rest on an ideal husband or wife. If this were so, only a few would get married, and the family in this case will not last long, because only one is beautiful! A strong marriage is based on two compatible partners, and everyone is looking for good traits in the other. Mutual support, respect, forgiveness — that's what's really important.

2. Another person will not replace the whole world for you
Many couples have unrealistic expectations that a marriage relationship will help fill a void in the soul or put together a life broken into pieces. And if you got married expecting your spouse to be your best friend, coach, substitute parent, you will be disappointed. You don't need to rely on your partner for everything, you have friends, family and yourself.

If it seems to you that one person really copes with all these roles, it is worth taking off rose-colored glasses and looking at the situation realistically. Your relationship will only benefit from this!

3. You get from marriage what you have invested
Working on relationships, giving them time and effort, you are very likely to be rewarded. It is important to discuss what is happening with your partner and understand what you want to come to. If one of you is not satisfied with something, you also do not need to keep it to yourself.

4. Marriage is an investment
The better your emotional connection (kindness, support, admiration, respect), the more positive "contributions" in the bank of emotions. And if we forget about anniversaries, buy expensive things without approval (if we agreed to discuss it), then the bank will be empty. Create good memories, enjoy each other — all this will come in handy!
