Nurturing relations

Relations are easy to form but difficult to preserve. Father, mother siblings are all our birth connections, characterized by affinity, propensity, resemblance and similarity. Created by God and hence accepted religiously and nurtured with mutual love and understanding.

However, relational bonds also build when two people belonging to different families get inclined towards each other; a feeling of being made for each other prevails and the bonding is strengthened by taking the nuptial vows.

The story does not end here rather it starts from here only.

Marriages as in our country are said to be have arranged in heaven. But does that theory appeal, after getting married. Life seems to be topsy turvy and people sometimes regret their decisions too. I am saying this from my own personal experience. After knowing each other for almost 10 years our wedding bells rang .The near and dear ones expected us to be an idyllic couple and so did we.

But we came out of this dream world within one week. There was tension, misunderstandings and lots of expectations but the love was not around. The calmness survived on top but inside our hearts bubbled with various questions. This was surely never expected.

So what did we do? The answer is nothing.

We realized that our expectations were high and we should give each other some time and space. This simple formula worked and today, after two years of my marriage I feel I am the luckiest wife on this earth. I think the credit goes to both of us. We both changed in some or the other way and today we understand each other so well that we hardly even argue.(Touch wood) And trust me all these things might seem unreal to many of you. But they all are true.

Today I got the chance to watch the movie “Honeymoon travels Pvt. Ltd.” and I liked it though when I had seen it last year I was not at all convinced with the story line.

The movie was the same but what has changed in this short span of time is my mindset. So all you people there who feel that your relation is on rocks don’t worry give it some time. Talk and come to a conclusion. We are not God.............we will fight, cry and then make up .That’s why we are human beings………

Happy endings!!!
