New Delhi:
A married couple visiting a common friend suddenly started quarrelling out of nowhere. The common friend after much understanding came to the conclusion that the reason for the fight was the lady’s flirting. FLIRTING! He was unable to understand what’s wrong in that? It is healthy and quite common among the educated masses. Then what’s the big deal with this couple who have known each other for good long 8 years.
Perhaps simply ‘knowing’ your partner does not help in building a strong marriage. Many couples fail to understand that marriage is much more than love. You must have heard couples saying ‘I love you’ to each other, but what is the actual meaning of it? Is that the borderline of a marriage stating that yes now you can both live happily ever after. If you think so then you are committing a big mistake. Coz.. this is where the entire struggle of marriage begins.
Folks, be it a love or an arranged marriage- the complexities of marriage are vast and beyond! Love, compromise, sacrifice are just the beginning of the 8-letter word.
In the case of this couple, flirting in today’s stressful world is definitely a healthy practice but not at the cost of your loved one. If a wife knows that her husband is a little conservative she needs to make him understand that it is just her frank nature of living things otherwise she is truly and completely in the bond of marriage and love him and value him more than anyone else in the world. Also, it is the husband’s responsibility to keep conservative nature at bay and keep his wife happy by remembering even her minutest details and showering her with his whatever he has got in life.
And, mind it, the precious gifts will not ease the situation. Instead, it is the quality time you spend together. Remember, finally it will be just you two and if you allow distractions today, tomorrow you may not be together. But if you are able to manage the distractions of life today, you are settling for a life where it will be just you two and your beautiful memories shared together.
