Nourish emotions with good things every day
After many years together, many couples admit that their love is no longer as "burning" as at first. But love is not lost, it is only waiting to be repaired by persistent and traditional actions: asking questions, listening, paying attention, and overcoming tiring days together.
Dr. Emily Parker, a marriage psychologist at the Center for Family and Happiness Studies (USA), shared: Long-term love is not based on temporary emotions but on the ability of two people to maintain kindness, even when they are at fault. According to Ms. Parker, the most sustainable couples are those who maintain a conversation culture every day, even for just a few minutes to connect emotions and strengthen trust.
In modern life, the distraction from work makes many families come together on their own roofs. Therefore, spending quality time, a full dinner, a weekend walk becomes a "dose of vitamins" to keep the heart.
Remove the conflict button with respect, not with strength or weakness
Conflict in marriage is inevitable. But the new approach is the difference between an exhausted marriage and a strong marriage. Dr. Parker emphasized: Dont try to win each others boat in controversy. When one person wins, the whole marriage loses."
Many international studies also show that couples who know how to control their emotions, do not say hurtful words, and do not push conflicts to the extreme have a significantly higher marital satisfaction rate. The Asian tradition always emphasizes patience, and when applied properly, it becomes a "sms reducer" to help couples go far together.
In addition, knowing how to apologize and thank at the right time are two bricks that create a solid foundation. A sincere apology can relieve a stressful week, while a thank you keep your partner feeling appreciated.
Love after marriage is not natural but lasts. It needs to be nurtured with loyalty, care, and serious attitude towards family, a traditional value that Vietnamese people have preserved for many generations. When everyone tries to become a better version, love, even over the years, will still stay and grow with the home.
