Marriage is not an easy feat, but there are specific ways in which it becomes less scary than you think it to be. 

We found how you can thrive in your marriage and here's a little list to follow. 

Check it out. 

1. Assume the best of your spouse

No matter the scene, make sure you assume the best of your s/o. You chose to marry them for a reason, so make sure that you see the best in them first. This way there will always be room for forgiveness and acceptance. 

2. Choose humility over pride

Always be humble, in the things you say, in the things you do, in the way you think, in the way you feel and in how you love your partner. 

3. Forgive, forgive and forgive

We're human and we make mistakes. Always remember that forgiving your s/o for their mistakes doesn't make you smaller, it makes you bigger. Communicate, solve and forgive. 

Remember that forgiveness is a an active choice that you're going to have to choose to make. 

4. Encourage and not criticize

A marriage thrives when the encouragement exceeds the criticisms. Make sure your first move is always to acknowledge and encourage instead of criticize, blame and dismiss. 

5. Invest in your marriage

Invest your time. your energy, your efforts, your money. It is just as much a commitment as buying a home or a car. Make sure that it is pretty inside out, always.
