What is Required for Marriage?
What is the Current State of Marriages Today?
Mankind has largely maintained the concept of monogamy from past to present, and marriage has been a tradition that has continued since ancient times. We can say that every culture, every era, and even every region has its own understanding of marriage. Today, with technological advancements, marriage and wedding affairs have actually become more monotonous. We can say that it develops around the axis of proposal and asking for the bride's hand, engagement and henna night, wedding and honeymoon, but how do marriages continue after all these beautiful things?
What is Required for a Strong Marriage?
If we consider marriage as an institution, we would not be mistaken, because just as an institution has income and expenses, responsibilities and sacrifices, the same is necessary for marriage. TÜİK data also shows that, unfortunately, marriage rates have decreased and divorce rates have increased in recent years, meaning that belief in the institution of marriage is gradually decreasing, and as a result, the family, which is the smallest unit of society and forms the foundation of society, is on the verge of losing its strength.
What are the Mistakes to Avoid in Marriage?
Although the state of marriages is not very encouraging today, changing and correcting this situation is in our hands. First of all, a marriage that you do not truly trust and have question marks about is like a building with no solid foundations. Therefore, when making a marriage decision, make a decision by blending your emotions and logic. It can be said that acting with only one of these two concepts would be a mistake. Let's say you are determined and you have made a decision for a marriage that you have passed through the filter of emotion and logic well. Do not shy away from responsibility and sacrifice, because marriage needs these concepts very much, in short, be selfless. Finally, do not expect every day to be the same. Remember that the person in front of you is also human and has feelings. We say "in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad" for a reason. Unfortunately, after a certain period of time in marriages, irreversible mistakes are made, and these mistakes drag us to the brink. Therefore, pay attention to the mistakes we absolutely must not make!
1.) Absolutely do not make mistakes that shake the trust of the other person, and do not distrust a person who is honest with you.
2.) Do not introduce lies into your relationship. Remember that a lie is dynamite placed in the wire of the relationship.
3.) Do not prioritize materialism, otherwise your relationship will become like a business.
4.) Share responsibilities and do not always expect sacrifices from the other party.
5.) Be yourself and accept each other as you are.
