Practice being clear and non-confrontational about your feelings, thoughts, and worries. Most importantly? Be a good listener. Everyone wants to be \u201cheard\u201d and it goes a long way toward a productive conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRUST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lack of trust is a deal-breaker in any relationship. If you don\u2019t feel free to live your life \u2013 or you constantly second-guess your partner \u2013 that will eat away at you both. Ask yourself (honestly) if you and your partner truly feel free to live your lives without feeling fear or worry. If you don\u2019t, that&#8217;s where healthy communication comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RESPECT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therapists note that once respect is gone, everything else\ntends to follow. Generally speaking, respect means that each person feels\nappreciated, acknowledged, and valued. Before you tie the knot, have a\nconversation about what it means to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BOUNDARIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting some boundaries \u2013 and telling your partner what they\nare \u2013 goes a long way towards dialing down any tensions. For example, ask them\nto put their phone away on a date night, or allow them to sleep in on the\nweekends. Being clear about what you each need is much better than \u201cguessing,\u201d\nor being passive-aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HONESTY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s \u201cthe best policy,\u201d right? But it\u2019s not always easy.\nStill, being straightforward with each other builds trust. State your feelings\ncalmly and directly, and trust that your partner will take it appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELIGION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if neither of you is particularly religious, there may be instances where differing practices enter the chat. How will you raise kids or celebrate holidays? Make sure you have a frank conversation about this before you wed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FORGIVENESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgiveness doesn\u2019t mean that the other person is \u201cright,\u201d\nit means not holding a grudge. The act of forgiveness brings you closer\ntogether, instead of pushing you further apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing these critical practices before you walk down the aisle will go a very long way toward living happily ever after.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marriage can be wonderful.
