Knowing Your Marriage Etiquette

Just as there are work and social conduct/etiquette guidelines that have evolved for keeping us civil, respectful and working together, there are certain and mostly unwritten etiquette needs to help keep a marriage going strong and being respectful. Many marriages have certain customary practices that form part of this and can be supportive. But, this can also get lost along the way in our busy lives.

We recently read an article on this written by Tiya Cunningham-Sumter and have summarised her list of what is the very least a partnership should have and then some etiquette tips. So, do a little exercise and rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 on how you would rate your marriage in these areas:

Love

Respect

Courtesy

Honesty

Friendship

Sincerity

Sacrifice

Commitment

Trust

Giving

Support

Encouragement

Communication

Marriage Etiquette 101

Scoring high in each of this categories is vital if you’re looking at a healthy marriage. Each partnership might be unique and what might work in one doesn’t have to work in another. However, when it comes to etiquette, here’s a few list that works for a majority of couples:

A married person should not stay out all night.

All outside friends should be friends of the marriage.

A married person should never hide the fact they are married.

They should communicate with their partner when they’re upset.

He or she should nip any inappropriate relationships in the bud.

One must make their spouse a priority.

Couples should never flirt with someone other than their spouse (harmless or not).

Following this set of unspoken agreements might not be easy to follow. But if your end goal is a healthy relationship, we must at least be willing to respect and obey this. Finally, creating a relationship we love takes a little sacrifice of commitment and honoring our partners.

Secrets To A Happy Marriage

In learning the secrets to a happy marriage, married couple John and Evie Kasper has been together for more than 75 years. And to commemorate their love, romance and happy marriage, their granddaughter (Danni Munro) interviewed them on how they’ve managed to reach such milestone. In the video, John and Evie shared their secrets:

  • Always kiss each other goodnight.
  • Profess your love for one another.
  • Never go to bed mad. “If it’s a focal point, sit alongside each other and talk it out. But then, it’s always kiss goodnight”, John says.
  • One of the important things for a happy marriage is to be nice to each other. Tell each other nice things.
  • Be good friends.
  • You got to make each other laugh too.
