There have been many tips and tricks from elders, experienced people and even google on how to survive a marriage. From submission and sacrifice to magic and special prayers you have it all! However, unlike before, the ways of life are changing. Women especially, are being empowered and more exposed, making it increasingly difficult to adjust to the traditional norm of sacrifice and utter devotion.
In accordance with today's times, I believe the key to any successful marriage is tolerance. Whatever situation arises, it is always tolerance that is tested.
We may not be the ideal spouse and vice-versa, but letting go and overlooking the minor flaws is very important. This is where tolerance comes in. By cutting down on the extra drama and calmly considering each others viewpoint, we exhibit tolerance. This is not only a way of accepting your partner as a complete package of pluses and minuses, it is also a way of understanding that nothing is picture perfect.
By being tolerant, as a wife, you may just save yourself from uttering unthankfulness or showing unrequired disrespect. As a husband, being tolerant might stop you from committing an atrocious act of physical abuse and instead make you understand your wife better.
Marriage in today's highly competitive and self-centered times, is one of the most tested relations and the way to sail through it is by giving a little more to each other. So try a little tolerance and at the end of the day, you will get a lot of much needed emotional support and a peaceful happy place called home :)

That's so true :/ sometimes a spouse expects the other to do some things he won't be able to do if it was the other way around. Also communication as well, use good words instead of beating or insulting :)
So true and great post tho :)
Hena,
Marriage is 50% luck and 50% devotion.
Wishing all a happy and peaceful married life.

Interesting! Tolerance is the key to success indeed!
Great gems.
Indeed, we need tolerance in every facet of our lives... and tolerance begins from deep within.
Beautiful post, learnt from it. Especially since I'm not married yet, so wise words for the future. :)
tolerance is the word... its a thin line between being patient and being tolerant. with one, you are expecting a change, with the other you accept the reality and learn to live with it in a way that is best for you.
Agree. Tolerance, patience and compromise are the 3 things that are needed
Beautiful advice for any marriage. Nobody is perfect nor is any marriage perfect. We all have weaknesses and ways that irritate one another. Tolerance is definitely a must in any marriage.
thanku everybdy..:)
