I will reveal to you three main secrets of a happy married life, which I learned from my 85-year-old aunt.
My aunt is 85 years old. She was the only one left with me, born before the war, remembering, albeit vaguely, the hungry and difficult years of fatherlessness, since my grandfather died in the first days when he got to the front.
And I love to talk with her, like with dad, she is just as wise and reasonable. And I want to convey our recent conversation with her, which is very useful to every woman.
Dreams
As a child, every girl dreams of finding her prince, who will admire her, read poetry and sing serenades. In her youth, she begins to dream of a rich prince who will take her abroad and buy beautiful clothes. And with age, she realizes that she needs a caring and loyal prince who will give her children, family, protection and will not bring trouble.
How to keep your family together
Let's say that all the stages have been passed, the prince was found, he gave the children, he created a family, and so far it seems that there is no trouble from him. How to stay in this state? How to make sure that happiness, love and romance remain in the relationship of spouses for a long time, if not always?
Secret first
As if a young, or already mature, wife is not tired, she should willingly (at least outwardly) and imaginatively engage in bedding with her husband (words of aunt). Yes, this, no matter how sad it is to realize, is in the first place for most men. As soon as a wife refuses her husband to fulfill her marital duty, for any reason, a crack appears in their relationship.
And every refusal to have sex with her husband is his step towards someone who will not refuse. For someone, 5-10 steps are enough, someone needs 50, but they take him away from his wife.
Second secret
Humor. If in the family "everything is in all seriousness", then sooner or later everyone gets tired of it. The joke should be a constant companion of the spouses. In what form it is, every family has its own norm. It is enough for someone to laugh together at a stupid anecdote, someone makes fun of their half all their lives, someone just treats everything with irony. Life is easier for such wives. They themselves easily endure the troubles of life and teach their husband not to be loaded with unnecessary problems.
Secret third
Life. Delicious food out of nothing, a clean bed, ironed things, a constant supply of clean socks and so on are the foundation of a family. And you don't need to do all this yourself. You just need to control the process so that it is available. The husband can buy socks himself, he needs to be reminded. Cooking food together, ironing - that's how it goes.
These, of course, are only examples of everyday life, so to speak, grains that feed the bird of family happiness. Don't think that everything is based on socks and food. They are here for example only. Each family has its own priorities.
Afterword
Aunt's wisdom is just off scale, it's honest! I will subscribe to her every word, that's how it is. But remember, dear women, that all men are different and aunt's secrets are general. I declare this already from the height of my considerable years.
These three whales, I apologize for the banality, serve as the basis for a happy family life. But what kind of whales they will be - big or small, vigorous or lazy, then each of you must decide for yourself. The one who cannot understand this and decide must be prepared for the fact that her little world, lying on the backs of these whales, will go to the bottom.
So listen, think it over and take note!
