From the author: Published: Since 2008, a holiday has appeared in Russia, which is now celebrated every year on the eighth of July in honor of the memory of Prince Peter and his wife Fevronia. This holiday is called “The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.” Peter and Fevronia are examples of piety, marital fidelity and love. They died at the same hour and day in 1228. According to their will, they were supposed to be buried together in one coffin, which had already been prepared, but they were laid in different churches. When morning came, people found both coffins empty, and the bodies of the saints inexplicably ended up together in one coffin. Then they decided that someone had moved the bodies under cover of darkness and separated them again, prudently locking all the doors tightly. In the morning, Peter and Fevronia found themselves together again, and only after this miraculous event were they buried in the same coffin. Peter and Fevronia were canonized in 1547 (canonized). Currently, their relics are kept in the Holy Trinity Women's Monastery in Murom. In Orthodoxy, Saints Peter and Fevronia are considered the patrons of family and love between spouses. And now you have a close and dear person with whom you want to live your whole life or have already begun to walk through life together. What else can you do to improve your relationship? Each person is an individual. This is worth remembering and taking into account! Everyone can have their own desires, hobbies and interests. It’s very good when interests coincide or, at least, do not irritate each other. Know that it is almost impossible to change a person globally or it will require significant time and effort. It’s possible, of course, to correct it, but it’s very, very difficult to change it 180 degrees. Trust each other. Jealousy and mistrust can destroy even strong relationships. Everyone should have personal time. If your loved one is just relaxing, then you should not impose your vision on how to spend this time. Give him this opportunity and remember that you also have personal time. You should support and encourage each other in various life circumstances. This is very necessary and important for every person! Sometimes we start something new and don’t know where we will end up. It is in these moments that you need to be supported and believed in you, regardless of whether you achieve the intended result or even if it is not what you expected. People cannot read minds. If you need or want something, don't expect your loved one to know it by the expression on your face. Give a hint, and if this doesn’t help, then say directly what you want, mentioning that you will be very pleased if this happens. Give gifts. Gifts do not have to be large or dedicated to specific dates. Give just like that and from the bottom of your heart! Take care of each other and appreciate each other! You should not compare your loved one with someone else, remind you of the mistakes he has made, or remember all your grievances during quarrels. Very often we understand the value of a person when, for some reason, we lose him. Creating harmonious relationships between loved ones and maintaining these relationships for a long time requires mutual constant efforts. Remember this! Take care of love!
