In fairytales
the couple always lives happily ever after and this is every bride and groom’s dream.
As you decide your colour scheme, the best venue, the right guest list, the perfect dress, the
most romantic honeymoon destination, there is only one thing on your mind –
setting the perfect foundation for a marriage where you’ll live happily ever
after.
You believe that
you’ll be together forever and this is what everyone who loves you, wishes for
you.
Your dream for
happily ever after with your spouse can become your reality if you commit to
investing yourself in your marriage. Tips to help
you fortify your union against the tests of time can be found even from the
most unexpected sources. An example is music. When you least expect it, some
lyrics just jump out of the blue to inspire you. Here are some song samples to
help you on your way to happily ever after.
1. "Like You'll Never See Me Again" by Alicia Keys
"I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
... Promise that you'll love me
... Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again"
A relationship never becomes too old for affection, so never take each other for granted. Know that your being together is a gift, too precious to be treated with apathy.
2. "Stay With You" by
John Legend
"And there will be heartaches and pains, yes it will
But through it all, we will remain
... And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for the lifetime, yeah
And I'll stay with you"
On those days of pain and hurt, focus on your happily ever after. Have and stick to only one plan – to remain committed through every challenge and celebration.
3. "Honey, I'm Good" by Andy Grammer
"I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might
not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I
probably should not
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will
stay true"

Stay true to your vows. Don’t cheat on your spouse. The fact is temptations are everywhere, but the truth is that you can determinedly refuse to fall into them. Uphold your promise to have only each other for the rest of your lives.
4.
"Stand by You"
"And
love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you"

Hold each other up when life tries to beat you down. WE (together) is stronger than You or Me (alone).
5. “Broken Together” by Casting Crowns
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and
I'll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we'll last forever is broken
together

Alone, none of you is perfect but together you are a perfect couple. Acknowledge your imperfections but be confident that together, your imperfect edges align perfectly.
Alone, none of you is perfect but together you are a perfect couple. Acknowledge your imperfections but be confident that together, your imperfect edges align perfectly.
6. “Ain't Too Proud To Beg” by The Temptations
"I'm
not ashamed to come and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door
Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'
Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby"
Don’t ever be too proud to say sorry. Pride has been the nemesis of many marriages, leaving shattered dreams, fragmented lives and broken homes in its wake. It is better to beg for peace and harmony than to lose your chance for happily ever after.
7. “My Best Friend” by Tim McGraw
"And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend"
18 years of marriage has taught me that when you express your need for your spouse, your bond of intimacy is strengthened . Your spouse is your partner for life and to succeed in life, you need each other. Don’t be afraid to express your need.
Do the needful to reach your happily ever after. Let the music play!
