Put your marriage first and prioritize your partner's needs and happiness. 8. Practice forgiveness: No marriage is perfect, and you will inevitably make mistakes or face challenges along the way. Practice forgiveness and let go of grudges or resentments to move forward in your relationship. Accept that both you and your partner are human and make mistakes, and focus on building a better future together. 9. Keep the romance alive: Don't forget to keep the romance alive in your marriage. Surprise your partner with thoughtful gestures, compliments, and acts of kindness to show your love and appreciation. Small gestures can go a long way in strengthening your bond and keeping the spark alive.
