So you have been in the relationship for a few years and probably think you know your partner inside and out, but ever think that perhaps this is actually not a good thing to do at all? In fact, as years go by, your partner is always going to go through some changes in life, whether it be physical or mentally.
As time goes by, people change due to the environment that they are in and the people they meet. Everyone we meet will have an impact on our life one way or the other, so just like the news, try to keep updated with your partner. Things are always interesting when we feel like we don't know each other much, because in reality, we don't. We will not be around our partners 24/7 and we do not know exactly what is on our minds.
So keep each other updated and always look for something to learn about from them. Do they have a hobby that they like? If you do not like their hobby, at least find something from their hobby that you can enjoy. You should not have to change someone's hobby and ruin their interests, but get involved some way or the other. Ignorance is the main reason why we do not like their hobbies most of the time. The prime example is a video game. Little do people know, these things are actually like movies that you actually play or television. We sit on the tube for hours and hours, but if one plays video games and the other does not, it can become an issue. Is your partner cooking, but you do not know how? Try to learn some aspects of cooking by going into the kitchen every now and then to just spend time with them.
Hobbies are a great way to continue learning about someone and as new interests come up, find a way to experience that moment at least once or at least try to replicate it with something similar if financial funding may be scarce. There are many ways to experience thrills and excitement in a relationship.
A lot of times, being in a relationship means you have a best friend next to you. There's no reason for us to disengage ourselves from them to the point where we feel as if they do not exist anymore. It is quite painful indeed when you ask yourselves what ever happened to those good old days?
Marriage does not have to change anything at all, so do not let it change the two of you. Continue to be happy, smile and embrace the sudden changes in life and share that with the future.
