Keeping the "happy" in marriage is first understood by understanding that men and women are different from each other in order to bring pleasure to each other, and to give to each other, in a variety of countless ways, what the other lacks.
Your role in marriage is like riding a bicycle. You must keep pedaling and moving forward daily. Sometimes you may fall off the bike, but, you can always pick yourself up and get back on and begin pedaling again.
At times you will come across steep roads, narrow roads, wide roads and challenging roads with a lot of twists and turns.
It takes skill and practice to stay on the bike and it will take skill and practice to stay in the marriage. The more you give, the more you will gain in return.
KEEPING THE "HAPPINESS" IN MARRIAGE:
Happy is the husband and wife who remain affectionate, considerate and loving long after the marriage vows are over and the sound of the wedding bells chime no more.
