Do you need advice on marriage? Well, all of us feel that we don't need any especially when our relationships tend to go fine. But when things start giving trouble, we try to look here and there for advice.

Why Straightforward Women Are Better

Let's admit it; the shelf period of marriages and relationships have reduced drastically in this generation. Things were different a few decades ago. Your grandparents never followed tips for a successful marriage. But still, their marriage lasted longer than most of the marriages of this generation; why?

How To Cool Your Sensitive Girlfriend

Maybe people knew how to have a successful marriage back then. Now let us take a look at some advice for a happy marriage given by the people of that generation.

Marriage Isn't Easy

Yes, lots of ups and downs are a part of married life. It isn't a cakewalk. So, accepting this fact can help you put aside your expectations of a perfect relationship.

Choose Someone Who Is Similar To You

People who are poles apart may have to struggle a bit but those who are a bit similar to each other can get along well easily.

Keep It Simple

Every single event that occurs every single day will influence the harmony of marriage. It is already a very complex affair. So, don't complicate it more. Keep things simple.

Marriage Is Worth It

Though marriage isn't a cake walk, it is still worth it. Why? Having a companion for five or six decades is the best thing you can have for a lifetime.

You Can't Change Anyone

Realise that no one can change anybody on this planet. So, never try to change your partner.

Listen To Your Partner; Always!

If your partner's grievances aren't heard, the distance between you may increase. Be a good listener.

Eat On Time

Though this may sound funny to you, remember that an empty stomach may make you feel frustrated and angry. Such a state of mind may lead to arguments. Avoid that by eating on time.

These are just a few pieces of wisdom from a grandma. If your grandma gave you any relationship advice, please share it with us.
