But trust me when I say that there is actually no such secret, you just need to be willing enough to put in efforts, no very big, but small ones will open your way to happiness.
After marriage, they say, a happy life is equal to a happy life. But I don’t agree that it’s all about the wife, for a best marriage, even the husband should feel good about it. For a married couple, there is nothing more they can expect out of their marriage than making their partners know how much they mean to each other, agreed?

So, its not the brand, but the small gestures that lead to after marriage joys and keep you both happy. Let me put light on some of them.
Big appreciation to small efforts
First of all, never ever make the mistake to take your partner for granted and miss a chance to appreciate them. The biggest flaw after marriage that people generally catch is that they stop appreciating the other half and take them for granted. If they are making efforts for you, even if it is a part of their duty, be a good spouse and make sure that you care enough to notice and show your appreciation even if it is the smallest effort. Show your partner that everything they do is not just mundane, but has a meaning in your life.
Be a listener too
You know most marriages go off the track or even end because of one major factor, that is misunderstanding. Want to know the biggest reason for misunderstanding? It is the lack of communication. We often forget to listen to the other person. Not only this, it is very important that you make a relationship where your partner is comfortable enough to share everything with you and for that you have to be a good listener at least sometimes. So make sure you lend your ears, it will really make your partner happy.
Help her with chaos
Even if you cannot afford expensive gifts on your monthversary, it is totally fine because you can still make your partner happy by helping her with the chaos. It may be her duty to do the laundry, but if you take the effort to help her someday. Its going to make her feel so special. Just taking off the errands of the day off her shoulder can actually make her feel like a queen.
Random dates
This can serve as a secret – plan random dates with your partner if you want to give joy even after marriage. Yes, dates are special and when anything is done with a surprise, it becomes a special x 2. So,try to take them on a surprise date or get an online cake delivery randomly because you want to make your partner feel special.
Remember small details
One thing that will keep your partner happy now and forever, you must try to remember every big or small detail about them. It gives the impression that you are interested in them, care about their taste and preference and open enough to even consider them. In short, this shows that they are important to you and you value them.
These are some after marriage joys that should never stop if you want to keep your partner happy forever.
