Dear Aunt Noor,

I am 23 years old. I am engaged to the most wonderful man I have ever met in my life. Our wedding is planned to be soon. Our love grows everyday more and more especially after we made the marriage contract. Our wedding is planned to be in the few coming days and therefore I want your advice of how to save that love and make it grow more after marriage.  Thanks for your advice.

Yours,

Dena,

Congratulations Dena, I am so happy that you will get married soon, and that you will be finally with him under one roof. According to your question, there are many things which can help you and your husband continue having the same feelings forever. The main key to keeping your marriage ship moving steadily whatever happens is the amount of understanding you have towards each other. It is not enough to love each other only. You have to understand each other too, so that you avoid problems in the future. After that comes love and respecting each other.

Also my dear, I don’t want you to expect that all your marriage life would be as romantic as it is now. Certainly when both of you be under one roof, you will get to know each other more and more, and you would be shocked by different behaviors that you don’t like but still have to deal with. Moreover, both of you come from different backgrounds, and for sure there will be a lot of opposite opinions toward your new life so I want you to keep in mind that your first marriage year would be the hardest period in your marriage life. Both of you want to proof his/her personality and that would be the main reason for problems and the vanishing of love. Therefore, patience and wisdom are tools to save your future besides, love, mercy, respect and understanding.

These tips can help you and every new couple to have a marriage life full of everlasting love and respect.
