Prince Harry and His Wife Meghan Duchess of Sussex Must REMEMBER to Always Put their Relationship First

Meghan and Harry Must Put Their Relationship First

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have a lot on their plate these days. They are both young, driven, in demand, and ambitious. All eyes and ears are on them, to see what becomes of their bold move towards independence. They have a lot to prove to themselves and it is natural if they also feel that they have a lot to prove to the world.

Their relationship must be their main focus

They have to be careful with this because in their quest to prove themselves, they could place the focus of their relationship in the wrong place and this can have very deleterious effects on their marriage. From the looks of things, their marriage is pretty solid but they should NEVER take anything for granted with their relationship.

There is a lot of negative energy directed specifically at their relationship. A lot of people would like to see their marriage bust up. Indeed, for many of their haters, the sole purpose of their venom is to sow discord in the marital union of the Prince and Duchess.

They must strive to be each other's number one priority

Meghan and Harry are only human and of course, the stress can and does get to them sometimes. They are not blind or deaf. They know what is being said and written about them all day long. It is quite normal for insecurities to creep into their relationship, as well as doubt, anger, frustration and hopelessness.

They must spend quality time with each other

That is why they must make their relationship their number one priority. They have to spend quality time with each other every day and be really present in their relationship. They have to reaffirm their love in big ways and small ways as often as possible; They need to keep dating each other throughout their marriage and they need to keep listening to each other and paying attention to how each other is feeling - especially with the unstopping negative attention from the traditional media and social media too.

They should never assume anything about the other

The biggest mistake either of them could make is assuming that the other is "ok." They have to keep communicating in every way, verbal and nonverbal and they have to continue to support each other privately and publicly. This is very important. They would do well to always think of each other as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" as if they are still hiding their love as they did in the early days of their relationship.

Be careful who they trust

They really need to be careful who they trust with their innermost relationship secrets. If possible, they should trust only each other. It is okay to have friends, but confidants must be chosen very, very carefully.

They need to be selective in their public appearances

They have been pretty good about this, but they should keep in mind that some of the most successful marriages are ones that are lived outside of the public eye.  The less people know about their relationship, the better it will be for their relationship.  They have to hide their relationship a bit more. It is difficult because of who they are. But Charles and Camilla achieved a level of privacy as does William and Kate as does Andrew and Sarah. It can be done. They will have to find a happy balance, always erring on the side of preserving their marriage.
