Nothing in life can match the beauty of a happy marriage. Unfortunately, after a few years of the honeymoon, some couples find it hard to sustain a joyful marriage. It is really sad to lose all the spark and warm that once were in the relationship, which has turned into a nightmare.

The moment a marriage fails the first thing that we think of is infidelity. This may be true, but we cannot ignore the fact that a lot of other reasons may have contributed to the marriage problems. Instead of focusing on the outside reasons let us focus on the inner issues of the relationship, which have the major effects on the marriage on going.

No one can ignore the importance of intimacy and communication within the marriage. The lack of communication usually leads to a discord in the marriage. It is crucial that we can be able to communicate what we feel, but more important is the way in which we intend to communicate to the other partner. Many times, a partner gets frustrated for being misunderstood; the problem is that we fail to know that it was our way of communication that ignites the fight. Appreciation is a must in a healthy relationship. It is very important to give weight to your partner thoughts and feelings; otherwise he will look for another good listener to share his feelings.

It is nice to show that you are grateful to your partner when he does something good to you. Happiness in the relationship has nothing to do with secrets at all; it is something can be built by simply showing your partner that you do appreciate his endeavor to make you happy.

Support each other. Share his hobbies, interests or at least talk a little about them, show him that what he is doing interest you. If you have a lot of spare time, ask him how you can help him to accomplish his daily task, the more you get involved in his interests the more you will find many common things to talk about. There may be times when you find yourself exhausted or tired because your efforts are getting little or no results. Do not give up; the commitment to build a healthy and happy marriage is a continual endeavor, which surely will give the results you want. Never forget that everything comes in your life you are attracting in your life.
