6 Tips to maintaining a healthy relationshipWritten by Kenia Morales
Yesterday was my marriage anniversary and my husband and I were reflecting about day we got married, and what has kept us together. So, I will like to share with you some of things that maintain our relationship running.If you noticed I wrote “working” on our relationship because our marriage is not perfect. I do not believe there is such a thing. Yes we do get along, share some of same ambitions and at moment we do not have any major marital problems. Disagreements we have them all time but, hey my brother and I were raised in same household and it is actually weird whenever we agree on something; Let alone someone who grew up in a totally different environment. Here is a list of little things that keep us together: •Maintaining good humor! My husband like many hates to get up on mornings however, he likes it when I also get up with a big smile and just talk to him about general stuff over a cup of coffee while he gets ready. It is surprising but, most of our best conversations arise at this time. •Patience: Do I need to say more? Honestly some times I get a little cranky, when tired and somehow I convince myself it is all his fault and poor guy having to put up with me. Hey, sometimes I have to be patient too! It is not easy telling a guy to remember to put toilet seat down all time.
