“A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” – so they say. Preparing food and cooking it nicely is one way to lighten up married life. Men would love to eat tasty meals cooked by their wives and some wives would like being spoiled by a delicious dish prepared by her husband. Every ingredient must be well incorporated to produce a great tasting recipe.
But, did you know that marriage also has its own recipe for it to remain a happy and rewarding married life for the couple? Marriage is not only about living together and loving one another for the rest of your lives. Although the two previous conditions contribute to a healthy married life, still there are a lot of other factors for one relationship to stay happy and stronger.

Marriage is not only being in love with your partner and staying in love for so long. The fact is the sensation felt while being in love will not always remain once arguments arouse or personality differences. Most couples cannot bear to tolerate one another when they already have a clear picture of their partner’s flaws and tend to get away. This often leads to separation or divorce making the marriage hopeless.
Following the recipe for a happy marriage will guarantee a successful married life even for many years to come. It may require a lot of ingredients for it to capture the perfect taste but a little practice and cooperation will eventually lead you to the exact dish.
The point is marriage is also about having respect for your partner. It is a matter of accepting the other person’s flaws or shortcomings and being patient on the failures of your partner. It does not necessarily need the couple to always have a religious routine to follow. Although for some couples, having a set of routine behaviors may work for them, it does not mean you and your wife or husband must follow a set of rules.
What you two need to do is learn to appreciate one another and be sensitive to the feelings of your partner. Try to be kind and flatter them once in a while. It might encourage or bring confidence to your husband before an office presentation or for a wife before she can cook a delicious meal for the family.
A recipe for a happy marriage is a guide for the husband and wife on how should they act towards each other to let their marriage work until the rest of their lives and to remain joyful and contented in each other’s arms.
