Couples in an international marriage must embrace their diverse backgrounds and celebrate the richness of their respective cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nurturing a strong foundation of trust and respect is vital, as challenges arising from language barriers and different societal norms may arise. Seeking mutual compromises and finding common ground helps foster a harmonious relationship in an international marriage. Embracing the uniqueness of an international marriage can lead to a fulfilling and enriching life journey together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people assume that when they start a relationship, they have &lsquo;made it&rsquo;. But realistically, the beginning of a relationship is exactly when the real work starts. Now I&rsquo;m going to show you a deep dive into why personal development plays an important role in relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A happy international marriage is built on concerted effort.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good marriage requires you to be very attentive to your partner&rsquo;s needs, be playful and spontaneous, have great ideas to contribute and maintain a good sense of humour in life. Meanwhile, a healthy marriage requires you to stay away from typical traps: negativity, complaining, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a mainstream magazine tells you to <strong><em>just be yourself<\/em><\/strong>, please pause and think about this, &ldquo;<em>If just being myself is the right method, I must have got what I want already<\/em>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means although it&rsquo;s very important to be authentic, you are <em>not<\/em> supposed to stay the same at all times &ndash; you need to evolve and improve yourself so that your flaws <em>won&rsquo;t<\/em> ruin your relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A balance between quality and quantity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you be satisfied in a marriage with a woman who is caring, loving and nurturing 30% of the time and difficult, clingy and selfish 70% of the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s because, in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplydating.com\/blog\/\/\/how-make-a-relationship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what makes a sustainable marriage<\/a>, <strong>quantity<\/strong> actually matters much more than <strong>quality<\/strong> in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, you may question whether that&rsquo;s true or not. Please think about why most relationships <em>don&rsquo;t<\/em> work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In actuality, most relationships (without violence or cheating) are not really ruined by one behaviour. In fact, most relationships fail due to an accumulation of bad behaviours which are repeated too frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is to say, <strong>frequency<\/strong> is more important than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being great 30% of the time and terrible 70% of the time is far from enough. <em>Quantity is key.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that happy couples tend to experience a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative communication. In other words, for every negative interaction, a happy couple has five good interactions. Basically, a good interaction can be a nice conversation, an exciting shared experience, a hug, etc. So, the frequency of good interactions sustains a happy marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, it&rsquo;s so much better to have a Ukrainian wife who treats you to small surprises each month than someone who makes one tremendous token effort on Christmas Eve but a pretty bad partner on 364 days in one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can probably handle someone who is moody once per month, but handling someone&rsquo;s moody behaviour five times per week will possibly cause mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Never stop trying to impress each other in an international marriage or even a domestic one<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a successful international marriage, a happy couple never stops impressing each other. This means they constantly increase the amount of affection they have, and they manage their <em>negative qualities<\/em> effectively as well. Your spouse is not supposed to face your worst side very frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, nobody should accept you at your worst all the time. It&rsquo;s your responsibility to learn how to minimize your worst side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know it&rsquo;s <em>not<\/em> easy to change yourself and your own habits, but your success is always outside of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your comfort zone is also known as your familiar zone. Things that you are familiar with do <em>not<\/em> scare you, but they also <em>don&rsquo;t<\/em> challenge you in the right ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to keep growing, you have to keep challenging yourself in the right ways. Anything that is <em>not<\/em> growing is dying in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, from now on, you will be well-advised to do something that scares you every day. That&rsquo;s how you expand your comfort zone gradually and become a better version of yourself as time goes by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say you <em>don&rsquo;t<\/em> have enough energy to spend quality time with your Ukrainian wife because your business keeps you extremely busy and exhausted. Now perhaps you should do some <em>pruning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ask yourself these three questions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"list-style-type:1\">\n<li><em>Which project in my business doesn&rsquo;t work?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Which project isn&rsquo;t contributing to my most important goal?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Which project doesn&rsquo;t feel right?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything that has been identified in this process should be removed from your business. I know Question 1 and Question 2 are easy to understand, but when it comes to Question 3, you may wonder why this is a legitimate question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, truthfully, when something feels a bit off, it&rsquo;s off. You <em>don&rsquo;t<\/em> really need further evidence. <em>If your body feels contraction rather than expansion whenever you think of a particular project, you should <strong>trust your body&rsquo;s wisdom<\/strong><\/em>. This <em>isn&rsquo;t<\/em> some woo-woo stuff. This is based on scientific research. Your intuition is always right, but as adults, we tend to talk ourselves out of trusting our intuition and use analytical thinking too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choosing the right person is the fundamental way to ensure happiness in a marriage.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;How do I tell if a woman is likely to cheat?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;How do I avoid users, abusers and losers?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;What are the typical signs that a woman is manipulative?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who ask these questions have a pain-minimization approach to love. They spend a lot of time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplydating.com\/blog\/\/handling-datingworries\/\">worrying about the worst-case dating scenarios<\/a> rather than finding out how they can have the best love life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are definitely answers to the above questions, but none of the answers will be totally fool-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s perfectly normal to ask the above-mentioned questions. However, at the initial stage of a relationship, thinking about those questions all the time <em>isn&rsquo;t<\/em> helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: <em>good women hate being treated as your objects of potential suspicion<\/em>. They fear that each word they say will be used as some kind of evidence against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use the pain-minimization approach to love, you focus on &lsquo;catching her out&rsquo; instead of connecting with her genuinely. Let me show you an example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIM: &ldquo;<em>Have you ever cheated on your ex?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HER: &ldquo;<em>No.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIM: &ldquo;<em>But how do I know I can fully trust you?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HER: <em>&hellip;?!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is obviously an attraction killer. She will begin to focus on <em>what she thinks you would like to hear<\/em> rather than <em>who she really is<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a much better approach is to get out of &ldquo;interview-style&rdquo; mode and have <strong>intense curiosity<\/strong>. In the beginning, your interaction with a woman is for connection only. At this stage, all you need to focus on is determining whether you actually feel attracted to her and if you genuinely like each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep an open mind and be curious<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you should make her feel comfortable expressing her honest beliefs. If a woman feels like you <em>won&rsquo;t<\/em> judge her, she is more likely to tell you who she really is. Therefore, whenever a woman gives you her opinions on dating and relationships, you <em>shouldn&rsquo;t<\/em> react emotionally or dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that a candidate reveals much more about her suitability and personality when she <em>doesn&rsquo;t<\/em> think she is being tested. If you would like to make her feel comfortable when you disagree with her, you can show her that you <em>understand<\/em> what she is talking about and then let her tell you what she truly thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Stay curious, and follow us for more<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplydating.com\/blog\/\/category\/dating-advice\/\"> dating advice<\/a> to help you through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplydating.com\/blog\/\/category\/international-dating\/\">internationation dating<\/a> (and marriage &#128521;) journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a successful international marriage requires open communication and cultural understanding.
