You may have known each other for a long time, but there are many things that you get to know about a person only when you share your life with them.

If you are a married couple who does not fight, then there is seriously something wrong with you! A healthy marriage has healthy fights and that is what brings you closer too. And along the way, you realise that you may fight your hearts out, but when faced with a challenging situation, you never leave your partner alone. Rather, you two become a team and look for fruitful solutions to solve the problem before you.

#4. You learn what makes your partner happy and what makes them sad

#5. You get to know each other’s strong and weak points

Lootera

When you are dating, your partner might show you his/her strong points, but will always feel conscious and shy of making you familiar with the weak ones. But, once you are married and your partner is convinced that you would not be judged, you get to see both the strong and not-so-strong qualities of your spouse, and learn how to deal with them too.

#6. You realise how both of you deal with a crisis when one arises

You may be the strong one when a difficult situation arises and would want to fight it in the eye. Your spouse, on the other hand, might be just the opposite and may prefer to either ignore it or run away from it. When you know how both of you deal with specific situations and are aware of each other’s crisis management techniques, you are better equipped to deal with them when the next one arises.

Yes, that is true! The first year of your marriage is enough time for you to understand the pattern or the triggers for your partner to get angry and start fights.

#8. You learn to choose your words before speaking

Because once you say things that you did not intend to, but did in a sudden burst of anger, you see the consequences and the distance that it creates between the two of you. Then you wish, you had not used such hurtful words. So, you learn to choose your words wisely.

#9. This year is the foundation, the stepping stone to a lifetime of happiness and commitment

Vivah

It has a million happy moments, many romantic instances, some sorrows, a lot of fights, maybe a few doctor visits, a few good family get-togethers, some bitter experiences with loved ones, and many more of such ups and downs. But, all these together, lay the foundation to your ‘happily ever after’!
