13 Married People Offer Exceptional Relationship Tips To The Singles Out There

Being single is underrated, dating is overrated, but marriage is a whole different ballgame altogether. You might think that after marriage you can stop trying, but that's a dangerous misconception.

Being married doesn't mean that you can kick your feet up and call it a day. You have to continue doing what you did to woo your partner even after you're hitched.

Most people think that marriages, like fairy tales, always have a happily ever after. But technically, no one knows how Ariel (from The Little Mermaid) would react if Prince Eric bossed her around.

Movies show us what we want to see, not what we need to see. This reminds me of a very relatable quote I read a couple of days ago.

"To be happy in life, you must learn the difference between what you want and what you need." We've all heard this at least once in our lives, but society continues to feed us with wants.

Very few movies talk about the struggles of being single, married, or divorced. They feed us happily ever afters without discussing the work marriage requires to be happy.

Oh well, lucky for us, we have real gurus giving us exceptional relationship advice that we should frame in our minds. Redditor New_Presentation5105 asked an important life question you don't want to miss.

In Summary

I know no one asked, but since we're talking about relationship tips, I'd like to say a few things, too. Marriage is about having fun doing the same things with your partner every day.

It's about looking forward to each day and not dreading their presence. Sometimes things are rough, and you just can't stand each other, but as long as it's not abuse, wait it out.

Marriage is also about sacrifices and compromises, but not at the cost of your own safety and sanity. It's a two-way street with multiple exits, really.

That said, getting married doesn't mean you'll never feel lonely again. There will be times you'll wonder why you feel so alone in a room full of people.

When this happens, evaluate your relationship and stay only if it's worth your time, love, commitment, and compromises.
