Lastly, Part 4 of how to have a successful marriage (or save it).

When you ask your partner what is wrong and they clam up and walk away, or they just slough it off, by saying, "Nothing.", that's not being honest with your partner. They know something is obviously wrong, but there's no need to pout or take off. That solves nothing and only frustrates your partner. Let them know you're going to take a break and you'll be back to talk about it later when you both are calm.

Please don't blame your partner for every little thing that goes wrong. You can ask them why they did this or that, but in a considerate and calm way. And if you don't feel like talking about what's bothering you at that time, just say that you need a break for now and when you're feeling more calm, you will come back and discuss it. But don't force your partner to talk if they're not ready. Perhaps their temper needs to calm down, so they can think logically, before they're ready to discuss. No matter what, love each other enough not to yell at each other. It's simply not needed.

Again, cultivate your marriage. It's important to go out and do things together that are fun. Make a date night and go out to the movies or play board games or simply watch a1 movie at home and cuddle on the couch. All these little things really add up and make a marriage joyful instead of dreadful. Surprise your partner with a lovely dinner. Send them little gifts once in awhile. Continue falling in love with each other. Let your love grow. Don't treat sex as something you get over with and then go do your own thing. Stay and cuddle. It makes all the difference in the world. It shows love and caring. Most importantly laugh together. It takes two, to grow and nourish a marriage. It will definitely take cultivating on both your parts. Some like to clam up and not reveal their feelings, but that's the worst thing you could do, is exclude your partner from sharing not only your problems, but your hopes and dreams.

Last, but not least.....NEVER FLIRT WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN YOUR PARTNER. NEVER CHEAT ON YOUR PARTNER! People who love, honor, and respect their partner, never cheat on them.

@LadyGrace You are being modest. It is a very nice article. I read the 4th part first and now going in the reverse order :)
@SW-User Actually I had put the first post up and came very close to taking the first and second part down and just forget about it, as I wasn't getting very many views and I thought people just won't care about this, so I really appreciate your input and encouragement. Just knowing that even one person liked it, makes it all worthwhile.

@LadyGrace That’s sad that many people didn’t see it. I found it very useful. You have given some really good practical advices for couples. I wish I could have come across such an article or bothered to read similar articles earlier :(
I have also marked the movie that you linked in your first post in my to watch list.
@SW-User I am so happy you liked it and found it useful. You will love the movie. I so appreciate you telling me these things.

@LadyGrace Thank you. Happy to hear this. I will definitely watch the movie.
@SW-User What happened was, I wrote the first article, very early in the morning and that's why so many missed it. And then I wrote the others later in the day. Enjoy your day.
