How to Live Happily Ever After

The puffy white dress, the bells, the violin and the river of bubbly. Radiant bride and dazzling groom.

“And they lived long and happily ever after.” The end to every fairy tale and a beautiful beginning to life after the wedding. 

But often the query about how to live happily ever after comes sooner than any other after the wedding. How to reach the golden anniversary, which does not mark just half a century of love, but it also celebrates companionship, bond, and memories with each other. The simplest answer to this question is compromise. Compromise is essential for a harmonious relationship and being together, and if you and your partner embrace it, you will be happy even after the bells. We are human; we are different; we all come from different upbringing; we like and dislike different things; we have different priorities and opinions; but we have something that unites us. We love each other and that is why we have to adjust our differences and ignore the little things that we can’t change or control. “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff.” 

Embracing that can lead to lasting happiness.

This is a gradual process when two people become ONE. You function as a team. When you are weak, your partner will pick up the weight, when your partner is deficient, you will fill the void.

So, what else can I say? Actually, a lot. But I prefer not to because this short essay is not an attempt to teach you how to live your life and live your marriage. You know that without me. It is just rumination, reflection on the topic.

La Dolce Vita! Happy Wedding! Happy Marriage!! Happy even ever after!!!

Until next month!
