No matter how strong the initial attraction, there may and usually does, come a time when the fairytale ending starts to lose its pink haze. Face it, things go wrong, relationships are a constant work in progress. If you want to keep the shine on the marriage vows, try the following two simple tips.
1. Don't leave the responsibility for the money on one partner's shoulders. Money is one of the biggest causes of arguments and stress in a marriage. Couples disagree and argue about it constantly, often from quite early on in the marriage.
So it could be a good idea, even before you walk down the aisle if possible, to discuss how you will manage your money.
To be honest, it almost doesn't matter what the solution is, as long as you both agree, I mean really agree not just passively give in.
Whatever the decision, both of you should have input about what to do and how to do it; then it should just need changing if and when your circumstances change. Do not sit there and stress because he or she is wasting the money, talk about it!
2. Don't become complacent. Make sure not to fall into the trap of not making an effort to keep your romance alive; those little touches - a smile, a thank you, can make a huge difference. Just because you are at home does not mean that you don't have to clean your teeth and brush your hair. Complacency is not good for any relationship, so try not to let things slip.
Follow these two points and you will have a stronger relationship.
