Marriage life and the essential boredom

By Super Admin

Like a bird freed out of the cage, married couple are so excited during the honeymoon days. They move here and there, visit friends and relatives to proclaim that "I too got a life partner", and dive into the pool of newly found mental or physical pleasures. But as days pass by, the honey tastes sour and the moon starts fading, and at last, most of them reach the conclusion that marriage life is boring to death! This is a common phenomenon the majority of married people experience.

What feels so different to a married couple after the honeymoon? Abruptly going from being the center of attention, to a return to the day-to-day after a honeymoon is often very palpable for newlyweds. But more than that there are so many factors that contribute to the boredom of marriage life.

Most important aspect that makes your marriage life boring is the added responsibilities and bondages. Before marriage you were a free bird, you could go anywhere spontaneously, and spend time with friends or on a late night party with no worries. But after marriage if you reach home late, it will be the angry eyes of your spouse that will welcome you at home. You have to see life seriously after marriage, unlike your teenage days. For a few months or an year the responsibilities may taste sweet to you because of your excitement on the new life, but later, once the thrill is passed away, you will feel the life boring.

Marriage life may become boring for another category of people who step into it with sky-high hopes and expectations. They need the entire life to be as romantic as the honeymoon days. They expect the same romance they had during the collage days, even after marriage, which are out of place in a marriage life. Marriage life is more to be the realistic part of life, unlike the romantic teenage. Those who expect the teenage days in marriage life, obviously find it boring soon in their life. Life can't be all joy or rainbows and flowers bloomed everywhere.

When financial worries, professional stress and personal tensions mingle with the marriage life it becomes a burden and people feel it boring. Falling into routines also add the intercity of your boredom. During post-wedding and especially post-honeymoon, you need to recharge your life frequently to avoid frustrations.

Loosing physical attractiveness is another reason for the lack of interest in life. Keeping physically fit is essential to a happy marriage. Because a fit body only helps you to enjoy sexual pleasures, which is the base to marital relationship. Sexual activities help you to improve your communication and also help you to know each other closer. It makes intuitive sense that a good sex life is associated with a good overall relationship. There is a strong connection between sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction; couples who are happy with their sex lives tend to be happy with other areas of their relationship. Sex doesn't have to get boring in marriage. As the years go by, your sex life should get better, to keep marriage life evergreen and ever refreshed.
