So, you\u2019ve slipped on that gorgeous CZ wedding ring<\/a>, had the big party, and the great honeymoon. Now what? Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been working with couples since the \u201880s, providing them with exceptionally beautiful cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings<\/a>. So, we know a few things about keeping your marriage blissful. Here are some of the best tips we\u2019ve heard over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PUT YOURSELF FIRST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it sounds counterintuitive, but it makes sense.\u00a0 If you attend to your own needs, you won\u2019t put pressure on your partner to take care of them.\u00a0 Because when they don\u2019t, well, you know how THAT goes. Pursue your own interests, do things without your partner. That keeps you more fulfilled, plus more interesting in your relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHECK IN EACH DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a few moments at the end of each day to check in with each other. This can provide valuable context for why someone\u2019s in a bad mood or short-tempered.  You\u2019ll understand that it\u2019s not related to anything that you\u2019ve done, so it won\u2019t create another misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRING UP SMALL THINGS BEFORE THEY GET BIGGER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than quietly stewing because your partner leaves dishes in the sink, say it before it becomes a bigger grudge. However, balance that out by remembering five things you appreciate about them. Remembering that 5-1 rule and addressing those little irritations in a timely way will keep things running smoothly. Sweeten the request with one of the five things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SET YOUR BOUNDARIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You hear this one a lot, but what does it mean? A helpful guideline is, what\u2019s the distance at which you can love both your partner AND yourself at the same time? This helps you maintain your own identity and not have expectations for your partner that they may not be able to fulfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SKIP SOCIAL MEDIA COMPARISONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stories that other couples tell on their social media aren\u2019t what they appear. Yes, everything looks perfect, with pictures of happy kids, great vacations, and the like. But that\u2019s not reality. Don\u2019t gauge your marriage by what you see on a feed somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THINK ABOUT POKER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you need a favor from your partner, think in terms of $100 poker chips. Before you ask, take a moment to judge if the \u201cask\u201d is worth a $100 chip. That helps you slow down and really determine if it\u2019s worth it. It also lets your partner know that you\u2019ve given it real thought and aren\u2019t just assuming they\u2019ll go along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
