Married life has a significant place in our
Indian culture. It is the life of a householder
that nurtures and enhances the society. The
nation gets its future generation owing to this.
Hence it is very important that married life is
sweet and pleasant. However, it is seen that
there is more of bitterness and tension in the
relationship owing to incessant quarrels and
differences of opinion. Husband and wife get
disconnected from each other. The children
become orphaned emotionally and the family
disintegrates. There are small tips and habits
which, when incorporated in daily life, can
restore the sweetness of family life and may
even lead to a blissful life of togetherness.
Each and every person leading a married life
has his own individual life. One’s habits,
interests, way of life and perspective towards
life can be temporarily changed, but cannot
be modified permanently. This is the main
reason for married life to be smooth for some
time and unrest crawling in after prolonged
periods. This is the very reason why each of
them should allocate sufficient time to each
other so that they not only understand each
other, analyze what has happened in the past,
do a thorough self-introspection and lead a
life of their own choice.
The zeal in married life is renewed by just
setting aside requisite time for each other. The
meaning of ‘requisite time’ is to set aside time
apart from daily mundane chores and go for
an outing. A person gets dissatisfied and
bored when leading a monotonous life and
hence craves for something new. That is why
in Indian culture, there is a tradition of the
girl visiting her parents’ place. After marriage
the girl mostly lives in her in-laws’ place, and
hence going to her parents’ place breaks the
monotony and leads to freshness in life.
Being honest in marriage is very important.
This is the foundation for faith in the
relationship. Honesty in talking, honesty in
discharging ones responsibilities, honesty in
fulfilling promises and honesty in all
interactions is the key to strengthening the
relationship and enhancing the personality of
both husband and wife. For the couple to
understand each other well, it is important that
they are able to leave their inhibitions and fears
and speak out their minds to each other. They
should discuss freely; and even when they are
upset with one another, it should be sorted
out as soon as possible. There are bound to
be differences of opinion, but this should
never lead to disruption of harmony in mind.
There is one habit that is noticed largely in
people. They seem to have a host of
complaints against all things in the world. This
is primarily because of a facet in their
personality which makes them focus on the
negative aspects of others rather than looking
at the positive ones. If we are prone to this
habit, then we should ensure that this is kept
under check so that our personality is not
perceived as dissatisfied and irritable.
Continuously complaining about various
things in life leads us away from happiness
and life becomes a bundle of complaints where
there is no space left for happiness. Hence it
is important that we refrain from complaining
and take appropriate action to solve things that
irritate us.
It is often seen that couples enter into
arguments with respect to issues related to
their children. Psychologists have classified
such people as mentally immature. Children
have no idea about what issues can trigger
fights and arguments and rupture family
peace. So, parents should definitely listen to
what the children have to say and look at those
issues from the perspective of the children.
However, the issues should be solved in a
mature way. One should never strain
relationships based on what children said.
A pessimistic outlook towards life can
potentially destroy even the happiest of lives;
while at the same time an optimistic outlook
can mend strained relationships. So, it is
recommended to always have an optimistic
attitude in married life. Even during times
when pessimism creeps into life unknowingly,
one should recognize that and get life back
on the track of optimism, because optimistic
outlook is the nourishment of married life.
Pessimistic thinking is like a termite that takes
away the joys of marriage and renders it
hollow and eventually destroys it.
Life is always a mix of favorable and
unfavorable circumstances. One should never
shy away from thoroughly savoring the
favorable moments. At the same time, they
should never lose their calm and courage
during challenging times. Wife and husband
should together tide over the difficulties that
come in life. They should never wait for a big
milestone to celebrate. In fact, even the small
successes and achievements should be taken
as opportunities to enjoy and celebrate.
Faith is the foundation of married life. If this
foundation cracks, it becomes difficult to keep
up the relationship. Hence, we should never
resort to any action that can disturb this
foundation. The love that exists between the
couple can be further strengthened with faith.
Even when both of them do not think alike,
faith can serve as a means for a strong bond
between them. Lack of faith does not affect
just the two of them but also the entire family
and leads to its disintegration.
If you want to enhance and improve the
quality of your married life, stop finding faults
of each other and focus on co-operating and
helping each other. Refrain from having too
much expectation from each other. Forgive
each other. Always be tolerant and look at the
brighter side of life. These are small things
which when adhered to, go a long way in
transforming married life into blissful
togetherness.
