Here are 5 innovative hacks for newly wed couples to usher in that dream house together.
In the US, people tend to spend a lot of money on their wedding. However, half of them end in divorce. For better for worst is not guaranteed due to differences and disagreements. Here are five innovative hacks for newlyweds:
- Establish mutual standards to avoid clashing and priorities
In case of a dispute, always stick to current issues and never bring up past unresolved issues. Listen empathetically and be open to various alternatives. Accept the fact that each has different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. It’s always critical to show respect for each other. You should also exercise mutually acceptable options rather than getting all your interests and preferences met.
- Resolve money issues at the very beginning
It’s always critical to discuss financial issues before marriage or any other long-term commitment. Discuss your debts and devise a suitable plan to settle them. Open a bank account for your expenses to help you retain your financial freedom. Agree on how your joint account will apply for shared costs. Create a reasonable household budget and devise how you will manage it. Live within your limits, and avoid impasse buying.
- Make direct requests to avoid unmet expectations
Engage in creating a firm foundation through honesty, trust, and daily communication. Make direct requests for whatever you need instead of unnecessary complains about what’s missing. Discuss the actions and behaviors that disappoints you and the necessary changes. Having the desire and ability to grow together is a critical aspect of marriage. However, your effort is essential in changing your spouse to what you would like.
- Encourage individuality to avoid divergent interests
Hanging out with friends and spending some quality time with your spouse is equally important to maintaining your Individuality. Invest in your hobbies and activities. Propagate and preserve friendships beyond social circles that you share your spouse with. Be ready to commit in various activities with those who would influence your partner or by yourself.
- Divide and conquer house chores and responsibilities
Agree on how to divide household chores and responsibilities. You may agree on what one prefers and enjoys doing. Stick to the agreement or negotiate right away whenever you can’t. Always apply what best works for you.
