Some of the worst pieces of advice in marriage life that you should always ignore

News24xx.com - Marriage needs hard work. You put in efforts, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. 

While you brave the storm, you may get bombarded by all sorts of tips or suggestions from your family and friends. 

Here are some of the worst pieces of advice you should always ignore:

It's okay if there's no sex
If you hear this from your well-wishers, they may not have your best interests in mind. If you and your partner have a lacklustre sex life and you want to do something about it, go ahead and zing it up. Otherwise there could be serious issues - to begin with, boredom can seep in and you may find yourself becoming emotionally distant.

Make the time you spend together special
In other words, whenever you are together, do something special - organise a candle-lit dinner or plan for some extravagant getaways. 

Ask yourself, do you really want to be constantly under pressure to do something magical? 
While mini breaks once or twice a month may make sense, everyday activities can be enjoyable too. For instance, clean the house together or even walk the dog.

Parenthood will solve all issues
Nothing could perhaps be more misleading. Ideally, if there are serious relationship issues, solve them first before becoming parents. If both of you have become hopelessly incompatible, you should reconsider being together in the first place - in such a situation, having a child may not be a brilliant idea.

Marriage counsellors can't help
On the contrary, a neutral third party observer might help you address your problem.
If there's a breakdown in communication, a counsellor might help you to reconnect and sort issues out.
