Many experts believe that the secret to healthy marriage lies in equal participation of both the partners. There are a few principles that couples can follow if they want their union to brim with happiness, and also stay calm and balanced at the same time. Jeevika Sharma, guidance counsellor and tarot card reader lists down the five main principles for a happy married life:
1. Communication And Understanding
Whenever there is a disagreement between couples, it is important that both of them sit down and talk. It is absolutely important you communicate with each other and there’s no other way. If you store your emotions away and refuse to talk about any problem then invariably, the very issue would resurface in the future at an even bigger scale. As communication and understanding go hand in hand, it is imperative you work on this factor together, and do not neglect it.
This should be the all-time champ of dating trends! Taking your time to get to know your date and understanding each other’s expectations before committing is always the best way to go forward. Thanks to COVID-19, this ‘trend’ has picked up immensely, and people are now going on a couple of video dates before actually meeting. If you are slow dating now, don’t forget practice safe social distancing and sanitising, either way.
#3: Apocalypsing
As tragic as it may sound, this is not what it seems! The fear of being lonely especially during these tough times can get to you. Experts believe that daters across the world are treating every relationship as if it’s their last. This means that they invest wholly – emotionally and mentally – into their relationships. Although, a word of caution: be mindful of going all in on any relationship. Trust your gut and tread the path carefully to avoid heartbreaks, no matter what the trend.

While it’s advised to always perform a safe sexual intercourse using condoms it is still not followed as much as it should be. Condoms prevent spread of infections and diseases that are transmitted sexually, and also bring down the chances of facing an unwanted pregnancy. However, the word ‘condom’ still elicits a pinch of shame and discomfort when it comes to asking for it over the counter at a pharmacy or while having a normal conversation with your peers. Many tend to look around to ensure they haven’t been snapped at by the older generation to be safely in the good books. This discomfort and taboo still prevails in 2021.
