Ajay Devgn says love is not enough to sustain a marriage; let’s try to explore what is!

Actor Ajay Devgn recently commented on how love is not the only thing required to sustain a marriage. After getting married to his lady love, Kajol, the two have proven how beautiful and real a marriage can be. Ajay’s careful analysation of how long, successful marriages require partnership, trust and responsibility have made us to think, what exactly sustains a marriage? Let’s decode the answer.

Two people in a marriage can’t have the same opinions all the time. Sometimes, they clash but the secret to resolving such issues is respecting each other’s views and opinions.

Owning up to your mistake doesn’t make you inferior. Your partner will appreciate it greatly if you apologise for your mistake. Taking ownership of what you said or did is an important part of sustaining a marriage.

It’s never ‘I’ in a marriage. It’s always ‘WE.’ Both partners should depict teamwork in their marriage. They should know that it’s US against the world. The sooner couples realise this, the better their marriage will be.

This is one of the biggest negatives that can destroy a marriage. Letting ego come in between you and your partner poses risk to your marriage. Once you humble down and look beyond your ego, you will be able to clearly notice your partner’s love, concern and care for you.

Practice gratitude more often. A simple ‘thank you’ can be very special, especially if your partner expects you to be mindful of their actions and feelings. You should be grateful for your partner’s presence in your life that gives you comfort, love and companionship in your marriage.

Long-lasting marriages have one thing in common. Forgiveness. If you want to stay with your partner forever, you will have to forgive them for their actions and words. Your partner may hurt and anger you, but learn to deal with them and move on from the situation after resolving it.
