The guidelines are obvious.

I keep stumbling upon articles like 'what do we search in a man/woman?' Or 'the wrong things that your husband does' or 'the things that wives don't tell their husbands' or 'how to have a happy marriage' or anything of that sort. Well, you get what I mean. 

So usually the articles will write on everything that everyone wants to hear. They make readers believe that everything they do is right and the partner is the one who should change or keep giving. And they keep writing the S.A.M.E thing over and over again. Yawn..

The thing is, how ignorant can anyone be? How to be a good husband? How to be a good wife? Who are you kidding? How hard can that be? Do we need an article to tell us something that we already know? Just be sweet, be romantic, be tolerant, be loving, be loyal and be kind. And that is pretty much the ingredient to a blissful, long lasting marriage. 

But is that really what happens between husbands and wives?

If a wife says that her marriage is boring, is the husband at fault? Should he have surprised her with her favourite box of chocolates every now and then? Or should she get herself a hobby to keep life interesting? Or should she tell her husband instead? That she is bored to tears and expects a surprise vacation when she least expects it? Coz then at least he can't say that she has never asked for it.

But then again, where is the romantic gesture when one has to tell to get something everytime? 

And are men really that hopeless in thinking what makes their women happy? 

The guidelines are obvious. It is up to us to make something happen.
