So as any couple who doesn\u2019t want to divorce does, we went to a counselor. Oh, he really slapped us in the face with a reality check. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, you think what media and those couples on IG show is real?\u201d<\/em>nos pregunt\u00f3 el consejero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, they said they never argue, and they also seem pretty much perfect,\u201d<\/em> dijimos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you go around telling people about negative things in your marriage? I don\u2019t think so. You can\u2019t trust these unrealistic expectations! No one\u2019s marriage is perfect, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d<\/em> respondi\u00f3, dej\u00e1ndonos estupefactos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tras este ba\u00f1o de realidad, comparti\u00f3 cosas que todos podemos hacer para que nuestro matrimonio prospere <\/strong>while not worrying about being perfect since that\u2019s not possible anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every person is unique and even two identical twins aren\u2019t 100% the same. So considering the differences we have, it\u2019s impossible to agree on every little thing. <\/strong>Couples in movies made it seem so easy but my partner and I soon realized that our marriage isn\u2019t scripted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our counselor\u2019s advice was like a wake-up call: \u201cIf you want to make it work you need to celebrate your differences, not hide them.\u201d <\/em>Entonces nos dimos cuenta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aprender a celebrar las cosas que nos hacen \u00fanicos<\/strong> wasn\u2019t just about accepting the differences we have, it was about changing our whole mindset and learning that they actually make us stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you and your spouse have different cultural or religious backgrounds and different personalities, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not compatible. S\u00f3lo tienes que encontrar una manera de llegar a un acuerdo. <\/strong>cuando teng\u00e1is opiniones opuestas, pero tambi\u00e9n abriros a aprender m\u00e1s el uno del otro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the beginning of our marriage, we used to have a lot of unnecessary conflicts over stupid misunderstandings. If we only knew how to communicate effectively with one another we would\u2019ve avoided a lot of fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lo m\u00e1s importante es dejar a un lado el ego y el orgullo.<\/strong> S\u00f3lo as\u00ed podr\u00e1s comunicarte correctamente y ver las cosas con claridad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En cuanto cambiamos eso, nuestras acaloradas discusiones se convirtieron en tranquilas discusiones en las que nos open to understanding each other\u2019s perspectives.<\/strong> We realized that a perfect marriage doesn\u2019t exist in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sin embargo, puedes esforzarte por tener uno intentando resolver los desacuerdos pac\u00edficamente en lugar de hacer un elefante de una mosca.<\/strong> Also, bottling up your emotions won\u2019t lead you anywhere good, so remember to always speak your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you learn how to communicate and actively listen to your spouse, you\u2019ll see there\u2019ll suddenly be more understanding and empathy in your marriage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t be supportive of one another if you don\u2019t even try to understand their point of view and their feelings. Being supportive isn\u2019t only important when they\u2019re winning in life. It\u2019s actually more important when things go south. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it\u2019s work issues, family drama, or any life crisis, you need to stand by each other\u2019s side. <\/strong>When there\u2019s a problem you might want to offer them a solution and think you\u2019re done but sometimes your partner just wants you to be present emotionally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Esto reforzar\u00e1 sin duda su v\u00ednculo y har\u00e1 que su matrimonio sea m\u00e1s resistente. Once you realize that the myth of the perfect marriage is false, you\u2019ll feel liberated. <\/strong>There\u2019s no point in trying to meet an unrealistic standard that no one is close to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sweeping problems under the carpet won\u2019t make others think your marriage is perfect. It will only create more opportunities for issues even your counselor might not be able to resolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Deja de comparar tu relaci\u00f3n con lo que ves a tu alrededor y recuerda que un matrimonio no est\u00e1 hecho para ser perfecto. It\u2019s supposed to be constantly evolving and changing<\/strong> and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was always excited about marriage, even when I was a kid.
