There is news of so many celeb divorces in the news. Marriages are so much more challenging these days. What is the secret to a good relationship between a husband and wife? How to make sure a marriage is long lasting?

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.
Support each other's goals and dreams. Be each other's cheerleaders and encourage personal growth.
4. Quality time and intimacy:
Make time for each other as a couple doing something you both enjoy. This time does not include daily routines and responsibilities.
Nurture physical intimacy in ways that feel comfortable and fulfilling for both partners.
Maintain emotional intimacy by sharing experiences, vulnerabilities and dreams.
Try your best understand your partner’s emotional needs.
5. Shared values and goals
Have open and honest conversations about your core values and long-term goals.
Work together towards achieving shared goals and dreams. Support each other's individual goals as well, even if they differ slightly.
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.

Hi, I'm Anjali 28. suggest me some ways through which i make my new married life stays forever with loyalty, love, trust, happiness. Me and my partner both of us have our pasts but i don't want to get affected by mine and his.
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.

Hello Sir, Sir My question is that I have scored 60%( up board ) in class 12th now I am not able to understand what should I do now I have to give JEE exam in april attempt and got 73% ile . Sir should I fill the improvement form now or should I fill the form for private candidate OR Is there any other way so that I can give JEE 2026 please sir guide me.
Ans: Santosh, If you are not satisfied with your 60% in UP Board Class 12, you can appear for the improvement exam next year to improve your marks. This is recommended if you want to meet higher percentage criteria for some colleges or for better confidence in JEE. As Private Candidate: If you want to appear as a private candidate, you can do so through UP Board. This is similar to the improvement exam, but is usually chosen if you need to reappear in all subjects or if you missed regular exams. For most students, the improvement exam is sufficient. For JEE Main, you must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board. For admission to IITs, NITs, and CFTIs, you must have at least 75% marks (or be in the top 20 percentile) in your board exams. If you want to get into IITs, NITs, or top engineering colleges, improving your board marks to 75% or above is important. Fill the improvement exam form for UP Board for 2026. This will allow you to improve your marks and use the new mark sheet for JEE admissions. You can appear for JEE 2026 as long as you pass Class 12 in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Keep preparing for both JEE and your improvement exam. All the best for your Bright Future!
