One saying goes: “Love without the goal of marriage is just fooling around.”
From dating to marriage, it’s a process we all must go through in our lifetime.
But does marriage guarantee love afterward? Not really.
Because after marriage, the true test is the relationship between the two people.
“The maintenance of a marriage relies on two hearts, not just physical bodies.”
Think about it, it’s true in real life.
Married men and women should keep a distance from other people of the opposite sex, as it also shows respect for the marriage.
If married couples often engage in these three interactions, it can be concluded that the relationship is not ordinary.
Endless topics to chat about, frequent interaction
With various social tools nowadays, people also make friends through chat apps in their leisure time.
But if chatting between opposite sexes is too frequent and too close, it can easily lead to ambiguous relationships.
When chatting with the opposite sex, one must be careful with boundaries and distance to avoid misunderstandings. Especially for married men and women, learning to keep a distance can make family life happier.
Take my colleague Emma, for example. She is 24 years old and has been married for 2 years. After marriage, her husband was too busy to care about the trivialities of home life, leaving Emma to handle everything alone.
Emma found post-marriage life far from the ideal she imagined. Faced with her husband’s indifference, Emma felt sad, distressed, and lonely.
Once on a social platform, Emma met someone of the opposite sex. They enjoyed chatting, and as their contact became more frequent, Emma felt the person was caring and funny, which intrigued her.
In the end, Emma’s frequent contact with this person was discovered by her husband, leading to a divorce. Even after the divorce, Emma couldn’t be with the person, causing her great sorrow.
Not maintaining a distance with the opposite sex in marriage doesn’t just hurt the one who loves you, but also hurts yourself.
After marriage, we should focus on nurturing happiness, not creating conflicts.
Sharing with each other
In our daily lives, we all encounter troubles.
Sometimes, having someone to confide in is a great source of happiness.
Whether it’s about family life or marital relationships, when life’s pressures suffocate us, having someone willing to listen can create dependency.
Especially between married men and women, not understanding the need for boundaries can lead to ambiguity.
Sometimes, excessive sharing between married men and women can elevate their relationship beyond mere friendship. When married with a family, one should also learn to keep a distance with the opposite sex outside.
Don’t let temporary impulses harm the entire family. The breakdown of a marriage doesn’t just hurt the spouses but also affects the children. They are innocent and shouldn’t be involved in adult emotions.
As Roland once said: “Love should not be forced, but marriage requires responsibility.”
In reality, it’s true. Marriage is a turning point in our lives. Grasping onto happiness is fortunate, while harming each other due to impulsive actions can lead to a lifetime of pain.
Excessive physical contact
Men and women are different, and we all understand that.
Psychology studies show that intimacy less than 46 centimeters between opposite sexes can easily lead to emotional involvement.
Therefore, in interactions with the opposite sex, we must learn to maintain a proper distance.
Having a family, stepping into marriage, requires stricter self-discipline. Learning to actively keep a distance from the opposite sex is essential for a lasting happy marriage.
Excessive physical contact between opposite sexes can spark romantic feelings. If these actions occur frequently, it indicates an unusual relationship between the two.
In interactions with the opposite sex, we must always have boundaries. Even between good friends, learning to maintain a distance is crucial.
“Marriage is like a walled city, those outside want to get in, while those inside want to get out.”
The ups and downs of marriage are only truly understood by those who have experienced it.
Marriage is crucial to us, so we shouldn’t take it lightly.
About novelty, there’s a saying: “Novelty is experiencing new things with the old person, not experiencing old things with a new person.”
Married men and women should remember not to abandon the person who has always been by their side for a moment of novelty.
Actively maintaining a distance with the opposite sex is a sign of respect for the marriage and oneself.
When married couples engage in these three interactions, it signifies an extraordinary relationship. Regardless of gender, post-marriage efforts to maintain marital happiness are crucial for enduring love.
