In Japan In relation to children, the words “bad” and “bad” are not used at all.
1. If you think that marriage to someone else would be much easier and more enjoyable, then you are most likely mistaken.
2. Most family problems are fixable. Indeed. Even the toughest ones.
3. The word “divorce” as blackmail is a dangerous weapon. If you shout in your hearts: “I’m filing for divorce,” you will hurt your partner much more than if you shouted, for example, “I’m so disappointed in our relationship!”
4. The expression “behind your husband like behind a stone wall” should be forgotten and erased from the lexicon. Marriage is a wonderful thing, but not without its difficulties. And you must overcome these difficulties together, without placing all responsibility on only one of the partners.
5. You can be sure that people cannot be changed. But this is a misconception. I married my husband when I was just over 20. If we had both not changed all this time, we would still be naive children who continue to insist that we need to live “as I said.”
6. You can have a happy family or an unhappy one. Everything is in the hands of both of you.
7. Life is difficult for each of us. The reasons are just different for everyone. If you have problems at work, they will become problems for your wife too. And vice versa. So after the registry office you can no longer be responsible only for yourself. On the other hand, sometimes sharing your problems with someone is... best way cope with life in general.
8. People who are unhappy in marriage think that the problem is in the institution of marriage itself. They say it is outdated or artificial in itself. But everything that happens in your family is the result of your own efforts, not statistics. Why are you refusing to create something worthwhile?
9. Marriage is a lifelong learning experience. None of us come close family life"fully armed." If the situation gets out of control, it only means that you lack the necessary skills to overcome the problems. Develop them!
10. The struggle for power in the family is not only inevitable, but also necessary. None of us can build healthy and stable relationships unless we learn to resolve difficult issues and, in the right situations, take responsibility. Find out in which issues who will be in charge, through experience.
11. No spouse will be able to resolve your internal complexes and save you from childhood psychological trauma. If you think that your spouse will make you feel secure, then nothing will happen until you gain inner stability. You will have to continue to grow and develop - whether you are married or not.
12. Love is stronger the more trials you and your spouse have overcome. The more challenges, the easier it will be for you to enjoy the moments when you are doing well.
13. Marriage is a long negotiation about how you will conduct things. This is money. This is sex. This is raising a child. This is doing household chores. You can fight with each other, or you can cooperate. Cooperation, as practice shows, is much more productive.
14. Even the most stubborn of you can learn to back down. Take my word for it.
15. Most of the time when your spouse is angry or sad, it is not your fault. Just remember this.
16. Devotion will help you in difficult times. Didn't you promise that you would be together until death do you part? This is reason enough to hold on to your family with all your might. Even when it seems that there is no point in it anymore. Believe me, in most cases this makes sense.
17. Marriage cannot make you better or worse. Ultimately, it is your own choice.
18. Complaining and constant criticism are not the same as asking to change.
19. Dejection is one of the biggest threats to a marriage. I have seen many families that fell apart only because one of the spouses gave up ahead of time.
20. Divorce statistics tell us that every second family does not stand the test of time, right? Not really. It’s just that half of family people follow behavior patterns that are guaranteed to lead to failure. And realizing this simple truth can change everything.
21. Being good is easy. And it helps.
22. Say “thank you” to each other more often.
23. A happy family is when you don’t annoy yourself and don’t annoy your partner.
24. Any marriage encounters boredom, frustration, “iron” arguments and slamming doors. Your task is not to build tragedies on a universal scale out of this.
25. Keeping your heart open is not always easy.
26. Love asks many questions. But she also gives answers when you think you have made a mistake. Trust love!
27. Marriage is not an antidote to loneliness. Communication, intimacy and connections between spouses are not constant. Sometimes we work together. Sometimes this is not the case. It is important to have a spouse who can comfort you when you have made your own mistake.
28. It’s easy to drive on a well-worn track. Work, home, TV, dinner, sex. How do you spend your Saturday evening? Add variety.
29. A significant part of successful marriages is the result of the work of one of the spouses. Psychologists call him a “guardian.” You must have someone you can rely on difficult moment. A person who serves as a fulcrum for you. If your spouse is like that, bravo. But try to reciprocate his feelings. We all sometimes mope and feel sad - even if outwardly we seem strong and independent.
30. The best thing What you can do during an argument is simply stop it. Do not find out who is right and who is wrong. Just take a break and cool down. You will return to this problem later.
31. Some conflicts cannot be resolved through compromise. We can't have half a child or buy half a vacation package. The best way is for one to say yes to please the other and for the other to recognize that it is a gift.
32. Quarrels rarely happen for their true reasons. The place where you store the soap dish or the mess in the kitchen cannot cause a huge scandal. If this happens to you, then there are much deeper problems. Try to reach out to your partner and find out what's wrong when he cools down.
33. There is a big difference between “happy right now” and “living a long and happy life.” None of us can be happy 24/7. Thank God, we don't have to be happy always.
34. When you think to yourself that you should say something important but hesitate, it means that you really should.
35. Learn to make plans. Together. If you think you'll go on a great weekend sometime later, you probably never will.
36. One of you must go ahead. Be the first to ask for forgiveness. Be the first to compromise. Be the first to leave the room during an argument. Forgiving is also the first thing. Why shouldn't you become this person in your family?
Photographs are the connecting thread of times. The life of the first person of the state is no exception. Footage from the family archive of the Putin couple will tell their story better than words.
Third son
Vladimir Putin was born on October 7, 1952 and became the third child in the family of Maria and Vladimir Putin. He had two older brothers, both of whom died before he was born. The first-born Albert died of whooping cough before the war. Two-year-old Victor was taken from his family during the blockade. orphanage, where children were collected for further evacuation to the rear. The boy contracted diphtheria and died. They buried him in a mass grave at the Piskarevskoye cemetery, without even informing his family about it. Maria Ivanovna Putina was already over forty when she decided to give birth to her third child. The boy was born healthy and strong, weighing 3.2 kilograms.Where did Putin spend his childhood?
Baskov lane, house 12 – an inconspicuous house with a well-like yard. The Putins occupied a 20-meter room in a communal apartment on the 4th floor. There was no hot water and heating. They lit the stove and went to the Nekrasovskie baths to wash. There were mice scurrying around the house, and the “cluster” of neighbors was unimaginable - everyone knew everything about each other. The family did not live well; the main breadwinner was the father, who worked as a mechanic at a carriage building plant. But there was a telephone in the room - a rarity in those days. 
Vladimir Vladimirovich compared his childhood in the yard with the book “Generals of the Sand Quarries”: the street was divided between warring groups of children. Fights, an everyday occurrence, strengthened Volodya’s character - despite his slight build, he always went into battle first.
School years
In his youth, Vladimir Vladimirovich was not distinguished by exemplary behavior. He graduated from 4th grade with bad marks in drawing and singing. The pugnacious boy was not accepted into the pioneers until the 6th grade. Later, as a bet, he hung on his outstretched arms on the balcony of the fifth floor of the school, and at the graduation of the “eight-year-old” he bet that he would eat 20 cakes in one sitting; gave up on the sixteenth, but still received a standing ovation from his classmates: “Hurray, Putya!” (from memories class teacher Vera Gurevich). 
And here’s what his classmate Alexander Nikolaev remembers: “ IN school years Putin once hung on the balcony of the fifth floor of a school on a dare, fought better than anyone, and once stood up for the honor of the girls - he got into a fight with a physical education teacher».
Childhood dream
Vova and his courtyard friend Seryozha Bogdanov were reading Tom Sawyer. The novel sowed a passion for adventure in their hearts: they sailed on rafts through flooded basements (once Vladimir found an unexploded shell in the basement, brought it to the police and proudly slammed it on the table, for which he received a strong punishment from his father), spent the night in the forest. Even then, Vova dreamed of a career as an intelligence officer and deliberately subjected himself to tests to strengthen his character. Jumped naked into a snowdrift, swam on an ice floe. stripped down to his underpants. 
Having grown up, Vladimir watched the film “Shield and Sword” about military intelligence officers and for a long time did not cut his bangs, because with them he looked like one of the heroes. And once, as he stated school friend Putin Viktor Borisenko, he came to the KGB building and asked the guard at the entrance: “How can I apply for a job with you?” The guard replied: “It’s good to study,” and after that Vova came to his senses.
Intelligence work
After graduating from special school No. 281 with a chemical focus in 1970, Volodya entered the Faculty of Law of Leningrad State University. One day, the dean’s office received a request from the KGB for five of the best students. Putin was also on the list of names provided. He was in good standing with his superiors, despite the frequent use of his office phone for personal purposes: he had “operational cover documents”; as a promising employee, he was sent to special German language courses, which was only allowed to a select few. He worked under the fictitious name "Platov". 
How Putin met his wife
Before her marriage, Lyudmila Putina (the editors of knowvse.ru note that Lyudmila Putina’s maiden name is Shkrebneva) worked as a flight attendant on domestic flights. On March 7, 1980, she and her friend flew to Leningrad for three days and first of all went to the theater, to a play by Arkady Raikin. There, through a mutual friend, the future spouses met. 
Putin's wedding
The couple officially registered their relationship in 1983. The editors of the site note that while already married, Lyudmila Putina graduated from Leningrad State University, receiving a diploma in philology and novelism.
Birth of Vladimir Putin's daughters
In 1985, Vladimir Putin received assignment to the GDR. Lyudmila, together with her little daughter Maria, born the same year, went after him. 
In 1986, in Dresden, the couple had a second daughter, Katerina. In 1990, the family returned to Leningrad, where fate collided with Putin and Anatoly Sobchak.
Career and family
Six years later the family moved to Moscow. At the same time, Vladimir Putin began his career in the government. 
In less than three years, the head of the family rose from deputy manager of the presidential affairs to secretary of the Security Council. In 2000, Vladimir Putin was elected president of the Russian Federation.
The country's first lady, Lyudmila Putina, rarely appeared in public, although her range of interests and hobbies was quite wide - art, skiing, tennis. In addition, Lyudmila Putina, who has excellent command of several foreign languages, initiated the creation of the Russian Language Development Center.
The reason the spouses named was Vladimir Putin’s constant employment with political and social activities and Lyudmila Putina’s rejection of this lifestyle. Let's remember the stages of this beautiful love.
Putin's personal life after divorce
The Putins call their divorce civilized and continue to communicate normally even after the official dissolution of the marriage. At the beginning of 2016, information appeared in the press that Lyudmila Putina got married again and changed her last name, but there were no official comments about this. But the president’s personal life remains a secret behind seven seals. According to the official version, his heart is free. 
The editors of the site note that from these photographs one can trace how both Vladimir Putin himself and his ex-wife Lyudmila have changed. We also invite you to look at how Russian politicians have changed since the early 90s.
