Is there any exact equation for success in a marriage? Does it require micro management and investment? or is it like a free flowing river, sometimes flooding, at times drying out and changing its course at random. Does it have stillness and calmness of the lake or is it like a volcano 🌋waiting to erupt or disrupt occasionally any time?
Our ancestors have always told us that marriage needs communication, compromises and commitment more than love or passion. Is it true? Yes, I believe so too.
There are so many minor occasions when one is misunderstood or misinterpreted. There are so many days when one is so tired physically but so restless mentally that even sleep alludes the weary eyes.
How can only partner make it so wrong or how can one make it just right again? It takes two to tango! It needs both people agreeing to change, accepting responsibilities or consequences of their actions. It needs time, patience and positive attitude. Yes, love sustains us, helps us and nurtures us. But love sometimes is not enough!
Please share your thoughts and opinions on the same.

Too many questions and there’s no one right answer. It varies from person to person, situation to situation. I do feel love and compassion is as important as commitment and compromise. But it definitely takes two to tango

You are right. Balanced communication, maybe. Over communication is nagging! And passionate communication is toxic!!

Just letting the days fly by is the trick. Words that are best left unsaid should not be uttered. Words are terribly powerful potions or weapons.

Communication, same intellectual level, and loving your life partner more than yourself, the same sense of humar. and never be boring, that would be my recipe for a happy marriage.
