Making beauty a priority

Every man wants a good-Looking wife, it is a natural instinct in fact. But prioritizing beauty at times makes you overlook the most important things that form the foundation of marriage. Mutual respect, hard work,  good communication are some of the things that make the foundation of marriage. Sacrificing them upon the altar of beauty will be the beginning of sadness ever after.

Communication                                                                                        

Communication is key in not just marriages, but all relationships. Men need partners who know how to vocalize their needs and air their grievances in a mature, sober way. There are enough frustrated men in marriages today who have to endure verbal abuse they never foresaw in their wives. At the same time, keep in mind that communication is two-way. Men should learn how to effectively communicate as they expect from their spouses.

Overlooking sexual connection

This can be a tough one since most people prefer to wait ill marriage before their first sexual encounter. But sexual incompatibility is real and should be taken seriously. Sexual connection or chemistry, however, is not just founded on the act of sex. It is important to be attracted to your partner.
