Act Happily Married To Be Happily Married
Some married couples act so happy together that it seems like a page taken straight out of a romance novel. It is hard to believe that two people who have been together for years can actually still have the manners to say please and thank you to each other. These couples rarely argue and behave very passionately towards each other. There is never a shortage of little things that they find to do for one another, and they truly behave like best friends.
Some of the couple’s friends and family want to know their secret to such ideal marital bliss. The more jaded or doubting members of the bunch, sit around and speculate about how it all must be fake and just for show to impress or fool everybody into thinking that they are the perfect couple.
Surprisingly the couple who appears to be happy and close can really be acting. It really is possible that their marriage is on the brink of divorce. The happy couple may be unhappier than they have in a long time. So what gives with their academy award performance? Is it really an act for appearances sake, just to make everybody else eat their hearts out? While that is a possibility, it is highly unlikely. Most people who are really that unhappy don’t usually go out their way to put up a front for other people’s benefit. Impressing their friends and family is probably the last thing they care about with their marriage about to crumble into a million pieces.
Other people may not be the reason for this couple’s acting in this way, but saving their marriage is. When two people let themselves get taken to the point in their marriage where it starts draining their emotional energy and they feel desperate for things to change, they are willing to do anything to feel better. They no longer care so much about who is right or who is wrong. Past transgressions are eagerly thrown out for good. If there is still love between two people and their desire is to stay together, if they can find a way to be happy again, desperation and surrender will wipe the old slate clean.
Old habits die hard but new habits speed things along. The couple desperate to change things but feel they have tried everything will be thrilled to find that doing the simplest things can drastically improve their marriage. It is as easy as remembering that a person will live up to what is expected of them. Being respectful to someone who may have lost your respect years ago may just be what makes that person feel like earning it back. Rarely does a person who loves you respond negatively to thoughtful gestures and sweet smiles. Surrendering common niceness, withheld because of anger and hurt, to your spouse will feel so foreign to them that it can work like magic in taking you both back to the time when everything about each other was new and exciting. Acting out the love you feel towards the person you married will help remind you and them of the good things you love about them. It is a fun way to start on the road to being truly happily married.
