Posted on February 4, 2009 in Marriage Advice, Tips for A Wife

It is very important that a couple work on their compatibility levels to build their marriage.

Compatibility is not something you choose but something you create over a period of time, with patience and sacrifice.

It is important that a couple share and build that kind of rapport between themselves, that enables them to share, say, and be themselves.

If you find compatibility lacking in your marriage, here are some steps that will help you create it.

Develop An Interest In Your Spouse: So what if you have been doing things and making decisions on your own all this while, it’s not too late. Start to take an interest in your spouse’s life, the activities he/she likes, the things they dislike the most, get to know their hobbies, their friends and what there past was like. When your spouse notices you taking an interest in their life in a non-obtrusive way, they would love all the attention and will be more than willing to share the details of their life with you. This will help create the spark between you two.

Develop Mutual Interests: If you and your spouse have different interests, and hardly seem to spend time together, then its high time you come together and find out what you both like doing the most. When you have found out what you like, you list them down and plan a schedule in such a way that you spend time together. Give priority to couple activities over hobbies you like doing alone. Do not ignore what you like doing, seek each other’s consent and spend that time completely for yourself.

Do Not Try To Change Your Partner: Trying to change your partner the way you want him/her to be will cause more of conflict and mistrust amongst you. You may have married the person hoping that he/she will change after a period of time and when this does not happen you are left angry and frustrated. Remember the only person you can change is yourself, and the way you perceive the world around you.

Accept Your Spouse As They Are: Accept your spouse as they are, no one is perfect, just be tolerant with their flaws and try to focus on the brighter side of their personality.

They definitely must be having some characteristic that’s outstandingly good. Patience and perseverance will help create the bond amongst you two and help you love each other.
