Don’t Act on Impulse, It’s Wisdom for Middle-Aged People

Maintaining a Healthy Marriage in Midlife: Lessons Learned

As people reach middle age, most have already entered into marriage.

Marriage has largely entered a peaceful period, and romantic love is often replaced by familial love. The passion of the past has given way to raising children and daily life.

The romantic love of the past has been defeated by the trivialities of life, and even the most passionate feelings may experience aesthetic fatigue. People are often creatures of habit, and this is especially true when it comes to emotions.

At this stage, problems can easily arise between spouses if they don’t know how to manage their relationship wisely. Middle-aged people’s marriages are the most fragile, with men shouldering heavy burdens and women struggling to balance work and family responsibilities.

When two people cannot empathize with each other, their marriage can easily go astray.

However, as people reach middle age, they are easily tempted by the outside world, which can have a significant impact on their future lives. Sometimes, this can be devastating.

Once a mistake is made, it cannot be undone, and there is no regret medicine to buy. If you make a mistake, you will suffer the consequences, and the harm will leave an indelible mark.

As people reach middle age, every step they take in their emotional lives requires careful consideration. After all, at this age, unlike when they were young, they no longer have many opportunities to make mistakes.

If middle-aged people make mistakes in their emotions, their peaceful lives will be disrupted, and the happiness they have will disappear.

Not acting on impulse is a wisdom that every middle-aged person should possess.

In “The Bridges of Madison County,” Francesca realized that she had feelings for someone outside her marriage, although she had always longed for it. However, she still had family responsibilities, so she chose to let go at the critical moment.

In fact, it was because of her timely retreat that she preserved her family’s happiness. Although it was regrettable, it was not necessarily a good thing if she had gotten what she wanted. This is a lesson that many people have learned at a great cost.

In “Thirty but Seventeen,” Xu Fan Shan was dissatisfied with his wife, Gu Jia, who took care of him meticulously. He thought Gu Jia was suppressing his nature, making him feel stifled, so he leaned towards encouraging his inner child, Lin You You.

He loved intensely, but the result was that he strayed further from happiness. In the end, due to his emotional irrationality, a serious incident occurred, and he lost everything.

However, Lin You You walked away unscathed. It was only then that he realized that extramarital affairs are not worth the cost.

In “Dear Myself,” Zhang Zhi Zhi wanted to be a good wife and mother, taking care of her family and children. She put all her love into her husband, Liu Yang, and took care of all the household chores, so he didn’t have to worry about anything.

However, Liu Yang looked down on her as his income increased, thinking she was rustic and didn’t understand anything. He thought that Wei Ya Yun was his true love, who could understand and tolerate him.

However, when faced with benefits, Wei Ya Yun chose to sacrifice him. Liu Yang lost his job, became poor, and fell ill. At the critical moment, it was Zhang Zhi Zhi who took care of him in the hospital until he recovered.

He wanted to remarry Zhang Zhi Zhi, but she had already seen through the truth of marriage and felt that women relying on themselves was the most reliable. If they remarried, it would only be a repeat of the past.

In “My First Half-Life,” Chen Jun Sheng thought that Ling Ling was the woman who could best understand him, helping him with his work and taking care of him in life.

So he abandoned his ten-year marriage with Luo Zi Jun, who only knew how to spend money.

However, after marrying Ling Ling, Chen Jun Sheng discovered that he had made a huge mistake. Ling Ling was just a manipulative woman who had designed everything to seek a reliable guarantee for herself and her child.

Especially after Ling Ling revealed her true face, Chen Jun Sheng regretted not appreciating Luo Zi Jun, who had become independent and strong. He wanted to go back to the past, but it was too late.

In reality, everyone knows the principles, but many people still make mistakes one after another.

Why does this happen? It’s because people don’t know how to manage and maintain their marriages, and at an age when they should be striving to make their lives better, they make mistakes that lead to a series of consequences.

But in this world, there is no turning back, and mistakes will be punished. As adults, we must take responsibility for our actions and pay the price.

Middle-aged people’s marriages are truly the most dangerous stage in their emotional lives.

The losses caused by emotional deviations can have an unpredictable impact on personal happiness and careers.

In this world, there is no such thing as having your cake and eating it too. If you insist on doing so, you can only sacrifice your happiness.

Middle-aged people’s marriages have experienced wind and rain, and it’s not easy to get to this stage, so they must learn to cherish it.

Even if you encounter so-called true love outside of marriage, you must learn to restrain yourself, because the price you pay may be unbearable.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and some things will eventually be exposed.

That extramarital love, even if it’s extremely passionate, will ultimately become ordinary if it enters into marriage. You must understand that almost all marriages are the same, and even the most intense love will eventually become peaceful.

As Ho Ni said in “Marriage Psychology,” marriage is a process of continuous self-improvement. Marriage is not perfect, and it can only reach a state of harmony through mutual effort and adaptation.

There is no completely harmonious couple in the world, and all loving marriages are achieved through each other’s efforts and dedication.

Marriage may have various problems, but you must understand that this is a normal part of life. If you encounter problems and don’t think of solving them, but instead seek comfort outside of marriage, you will only push yourself into a desperate situation.

If your marriage really cannot be maintained, then choose to resolve it properly before seeking new emotions. If you only want to seek stimulation outside of marriage, it’s better to give up such thoughts.

Because using temporary freshness and the happiness in your hands as a gamble is never worth it.
