Everyone enjoys that great love story that ends in a fairytale, but they rarely talk about the story after the big wedding and fairytale meeting. In order to maintain that fairytale you have to remember that life doesn't just stop after marriage. You have to keep things spicy and interesting for each other. Here are 6 things to remember after marriage to help keep things fairytale like.

1) Always say please, thank you and you're welcome. Remember when you first met everything the other person did was a surprise or you considered it to be nice. Don't forget that. Your spouse doesn't have to bring you flowers, take you on dates, cook you dinner, etc. They are doing it because they want to. Remember to say the nice words you did when you first met so they know that you appreciate the gestures.

2) Do something spontaneous once in a while. Work, kids, friends, household repairs, etc are going to happen everyday. You need to remember that sweeping each other off your feet keeps the romance going. It can be as simple as taking lunch to your spouse at work or giving them a massage before bed. Make them feel appreciated. Everyone loves a nice surprise.

3) Remember to communicate. We get married and assume the other person can read our mind. We want them to do things, but don't think we should have to tell them. When you first met, you didn't think they knew anything about you so you talked a lot about things. Don't let that die. Things change and your spouse doesn't know that you now want your space during a great TV show or you like cuddling on a rainy day. Remember to communicate about everything. Don't make them guess. Just talk about it.

4) Have a date night. When you first started dating you went out all the time. You couldn't wait to see each other. You had bills, friends, a job, and all the things you have now, but you made time. Remember to make time for each other. They are not just here to help with things now. They are still the person that wants to spend time with you and do fun things.

5) Remember to look and feel your best. Getting married doesn't mean it's time to let yourself go. You may never be the same size you were in high school, but try to maintain your health, wealth and mental state. Don't get married and feel like now you don't have to work out or eat right anymore. People do change, but not being the best you will also create tension in your relationship. If you were working out together when you met, why stop? Remember to be the best you that you can be and that will help them be the best them they can be.

6) Remember to work together. This is a big deal because if someone feels they are putting more into the relationship, household chores, paying bills, etc. then it will get tiring and someone will get fed up. Make sure that you are both putting in the same energy. Even if one person is a stay at home parent or person, you have to make up the financial aspect with household things. If one person pays the bills the other should do household chores. Remember that working together creates an unbreakable bond. You feel like you have each others back.

No relationship is perfect. These things are just simple ways to create a better relationship. Love yourself and your spouse and things will fall into place. The biggest thing is to respect each other and listen to what they tell you. Try all of these things and see if they create a better marriage. If you have other tips please leave us a note. So happy to share this with you loving folks. Keep loving & living.
