Isn't it wonderful if we could always stay up and be happy like the sun? This way, a happy mood generates so many positive results. A happy person loves well, thinks well, has a good attitude, is enthusiastic, creative and only wants the good for his family and friends. It's a great feeling just like two people in love! Everyone would want to be around a person like this.

However, people's moods and emotions change too just like the weather. There comes a time when the day starts to become gloomy and dark clouds start to form. Then it starts to rain and can even become a thunderstorm. On a are occasion a hurricane can suddenly appear.

How does this compare to our life especially for married couples? Majority of us when we were in love, once thought that when we get married, it will be happily ever after just like the fairy tales we used to read. But when this romance starts to slowly fade and reality sets in, our moods and emotions change from time to time.

You definitely don't want a thunderstorm in your relationship and more so a hurricane when problems start to occur between you and your spouse. And so when you're feeling run down why? Let's see how we can prevent this.

Here are a few helpful tips that can guide you to keep the sunshine in your home.

1.Be sensitive to your partner and your loved ones.
What does this mean? To be happy, you must make the other happy. When you notice that your spouse is tired or not feeling well physically and even spiritually, attend to him or her immediately and leave what you are doing at the moment.

Now if your spouse is feeling run down why due to a problem, BE there to lift his or her spirits up! Comfort him with encouraging words. It could also just be your mere presence with a loving embrace. You must know the need of your spouse especially at this critical moment.

2.You are in control
You have the choice to be happy or not. You have the choice to make others happy or not. Therefore, you can control the temperature of your relationship regardless of the situation. You can prevent a problem from becoming big. Don't allow this to happen because you will regret it when your spouse storms out the house. Your role is to maintain a happy relationship.

3. Put yourself in the shoes of your spouse
How would you like to be treated ? It should be the same way how you should treat the other.

If you yourself are feeling run down why, you definitely want the love and attention of your spouse. Therefore, do the same when your spouse is feeling down. You can't leave him alone to get up by himself. He or she needs you at that very moment. Again BE there for your spouse

Nourish your relationship everyday just as we need to nourish our body and spirit. Just as we take in food supplements to help keep a healthy body, we need to put love everyday into the relationship. So remember when your partner is feeling run down why down, double the dosage of love!
