How to Make a Seafarer's Marriage Fun

Our Family are our life’s greatest joy.

However, a happy family does not happen over night. It is a result of concerted effort between husband and wife. Indeed, enjoying each other’s company through the years of blessed togetherness, is not just like a walk in the park. It requires to devote the BEST from each other. Initially, starting out from a change in attitude from negative to positive.

Some make it happen by following below rules:

1.) Be Mindful of  Your Manners

This is sometimes easier said than done.  Yet, it's an important place to start with. One of the most basic things to remember in keeping our marriage happy is to be polite and to treat each other with respect.

2.) Never Stop Courting

Relationships are never frozen. Relationships are fluid, and in the process of change. Consequently, courting is a constant thing.

Money is not an excuse for not having a date night. It's not important where you go or what you do as long as you are able to get away from the telephone, the children and the business, and be alone where you can look into each other’s eyes and talk to each other.

3.) Manage your Finances Well

Aside from sex, money is the second biggest cause of breakups in marriages. So, allow me to share with you a short and simple formula that has worked for us. Apply the 80/20 rule. Save at least 20% of your earnings and try to live with-in the remaining 80%.

4.) Enjoy Sex

Sex was meant by God, to be life’s greatest pleasure. Nobody has ever enjoyed sex more than those who have kept it within the confines of the marriage commitment. The first reason is that sex is safe when it is kept within the boundaries of a permanent relationship. The best safe sex is to find a super mate and make a commitment to be faithful to each other.

5.) Discover Mutual Interest and Friends

Marriage is the time to establish a whole new set of friends. 

Marriage should comes first before your old buddy or your old girlfriend.

Find enjoyment in each other’s hobby or interest.

Learn to love what she or he likes and make it part of your bonding moments.

6.) Respect Your In-laws

The first rule in having a better relationship with your in laws is to put your own relationship before all others. The second rule is: Never tolerate conversation that includes negative insults about the other person's family. It is never wise to make unkind comments about your spouse's relatives. Remember, they came into his/her life first ahead of you.

7.) Find Real Happiness In Meaningful  Relationships

 It doesn't generate from the strength of your own brain power,
 heart power or body power. Find real happiness in relationships that are meaningful. Make every moment that you are together worthwhile.

8.) Keep Your Mate In First Place

Make a personal decision to grow closer as the years go by. That starts early in marriage when the first child arrives. Don t let your children become more important than your husband or your wife. Your relationship as husband and wife must take the helm of priorities.

9.) Be Honest and Be Loyal

Don't ever lie. In a long distance relationship, there is no known formula for check and balance. When fidelity is breached, it is only between you and your conscience, if ever you had a fling or extra marital relationships while you are away.

10) Strengthen your Faith

It’s the basic fundamental to any relationship. Let HIM be the center of your relationship. A happy and successful union is always product of the TRIUMVIRATE reaction between GOD, husband and wife.
