We all look for a secret recipe for a successful marriage, as if following those steps is going to give us the result we desire. The reality is that there is no such universal recipe for successful marriages. It depends on how you use the ingredients, the quantity and quality of them, the time and effort you invest and your personal touch. Every dish has certain key and basic ingredients and if they are missing, you cannot make it.

Spring cleaning coincides with the changing of the clocks; and so we need to reset our biological rhythms once again. During this yearly ritual most of us are polishing our mirrors and cleaning our windows to the world to shed more light on what’s happening in our lives. Oh, and don’t forget getting rid of the useless clutter to lighten up the home living space. These physical activities inevitably lead to spring cleaning our relationships, and if there is a marriage heading on a collision course this is an ideal time to stop and look at the big picture.

Nothing teaches us more about ourselves than being in a relationship with another. When things aren't working out the way we'd like them to, our initial reaction is to blame the other person. After blaming them, we then want to let them know in no uncertain terms how we feel and how we want them to be. However, instead of creating a change, we only create more anger, frustration, separation and discontent.
