Dear Anu what is the secret to a healthy marriage?

Ans: Secret which is not a secret to a happy relationship are the following (1) feel good about who you are. (2) invest in growth of the relationship with your partner (3) moving on, letting go of challenging episodes.

Ans: Dear Ravi,
There are a few things that might work:
1. Start first by being friends rather than just spouses to one another
2. Learn about each other's likes and dislikes
3. Share about one another's happy and not-so-happy moments
4. Speak about what your goals are in life
5. Understand when your partner wants to start a family or not
6. Find out what he/she thinks about money management
7. Learn to understand each other's desires within and outside the bedroom
8. Travel a lot together
9. Take part in household activities

The above goes for love marriages as well but just that in an arranged marriage, you need to make an effort to welcome the other person into your life and learn all that you can about them.

All the best!

Ans: Hello.
I can understand your worry.
It’s important to remember that celebrities are humans like the rest of us and face their own problem. At the same time, do also remember that many celebrities have marriages that have lasted decades and continue to flourish.
As a couple, you can build a strong, lasting relationship through effort and commitment. While guaranteeing a marriage's longevity is impossible, there are certainly qualities and actions that contribute to healthier relationships.
1. Strong communication:
Be open and honest. Share your thoughts, feelings and needs with your partner and ask them to share with you as well.
Be respectful and empathetic when you listen to their perspective. Don’t interrupt. Don’t judge.
2. Healthy conflict resolution
Learn to disagree respectfully and constructively.
You may have read/heard this before but it is important that you remember this. During these kinds of conversations in particular, avoid blame, personal attacks and bringing up past issues. Seek solutions together rather than trying to ‘win’ arguments.
3. Be kind, be respectful. Appreciate what you partner does
Treat each other with kindness.
Acknowledge and appreciate each other's contributions to the relationship and express gratitude regularly.
Respect individual differences and boundaries. Allow space for each other's individual interests and pursuits.

Be adaptable and willing to grow together. Life experiences and individual needs may change over time, so be prepared to adjust and support each other's evolution.
6. Professional help
Seek professional help from a therapist or counsellor if you're facing challenges in communication, conflict resolution or other areas of your relationship.
Therapy can provide a safe space to explore issues and develop healthier communication and coping skills.
Remember, every relationship is unique and what works for one couple might not work for another. The key is to nurture your relationship, communicate openly and honestly and be willing to adapt and grow together.
It's also important to acknowledge that, even with best efforts, challenges may arise and sometimes relationships end. If you find yourself struggling, remember that seeking professional help or ending a relationship that is no longer healthy can be positive steps towards personal growth and future happiness.

Ans: Hi Anjali, navigating a new marriage with the goal of building a lasting, loving, and trustworthy relationship is a beautiful aspiration. It's natural to have concerns about past experiences, but it's important to remember that your relationship is a fresh chapter that you and your partner are writing together.

To foster loyalty, love, trust, and happiness, start by focusing on open and honest communication. Share your thoughts and feelings with each other, even when they're difficult. This helps build a foundation of trust and understanding. It's also crucial to practice empathy, recognizing that both of you bring unique experiences to the relationship.

Make a conscious effort to leave the past in the past. Instead of dwelling on previous relationships or mistakes, focus on the present and the future you're building together. This doesn't mean ignoring past lessons but rather using them to strengthen your current bond.

Prioritize spending quality time together, nurturing your emotional connection. Be intentional about supporting each other’s growth, both individually and as a couple. Celebrate each other's achievements and offer comfort during challenges.

Lastly, don't hesitate to seek help or advice if you ever face difficulties. Whether through counseling or trusted friends, getting an outside perspective can help maintain a healthy and happy marriage. By working together with commitment and understanding, you can create a fulfilling and enduring partnership.
