Happy marriages are all alike, and every unhappy marriage is unhappy in its way.

The older you get, the more you will understand that a happy marriage is about giving each other these three things.

01. Stand firmly on your lover’s side and be the person who supports them.

In real life, if you meet someone willing to support you, then cherish it.

Like one of my colleagues, her husband had a scandalous extramarital affair when he was young, and the two were about to divorce. But later, due to strong opposition from both parents, they had to continue their marriage.

A few years later, they seemed to have buried the hatchet and had a second child. Their life had gone from “falling apart” to “happy and harmonious”. When asked why, a colleague said that in the final analysis, it was because her husband was firmly on her side. Once If there is anything that cannot be dealt with, or if there is something that her parents cannot make up their minds about or cannot settle, her husband will find a way to “fix it.”

It was his husband’s responsible behavior as a man and the head of the family that made his colleagues choose to forgive and be open-minded.
