We all like to believe in a happily ever after. This can happen but it takes work. First advise is except your partner for who they are. If you have a husband who likes to sit and watch TV, guess what – he’s not going to change nor should he.
Just as if say you like to walk on the beach, and he doesn’t like to. Why should you give that up?
Marriage is about acceptance and compromise. You are not supposed to be exactly the same, love them for their good and bad traits they have, otherwise you might as well marry a mirror.
