Marriage is a beautiful and delicate bond tied up with the pious thread of love, understanding and trust! It’s a congregation of two beings gifted with love for a lifetime. Patience, harmony and purity are the secret ingredients to nurture this heavenly relationship. I entered into the wedlock reluctantly but a year since I have become a strong advocate of this institution called marriage.
Here I 10 genuine reasons why I began believing in love after marriage.
1. Respecting mutual differences
Being married is not about how we dress up or look, it’s about celebrating differences and respecting them with love and support. We may not always agree with each other, but we try to compromise and adjust. We make sure to listen to each other, which makes us more acquainted to each other’s goals and interests. A man who respects you in every sense can make your life beautiful throughout.
2. Sharing responsibilities
When two people start living together, it’s important that they share the burden and appreciate the other’s contribution. When both are equally career-oriented, the load should also be shared, right from household chores to decision making. Work becomes enjoyable when you have someone by your side to share the responsibility.
3. Covering up each otherâs blind-spots
Prior to my marriage, I was confident about me being organized. But marriage is an eye-opener. I was full of flaws and needed to grow up. The journey of being daddy’s little girl to a married woman is full of expectations, and this is why you need a person who stands by you like a rock.
4. Strong emotional hold and support
No one can handle me the way my husband does, he adores me, and lets me be myself when I have varied mood swings. With him, I love being emotionally weak, lousy and frustrated too.
His warmth nurtures all my pains.
5. Making time for each other
We both have a busy life but we don’t forget to express our love for each other. We eat together, watch movies together and share our daily workplace experiences with each other, which makes our bond stronger.
6. Laughing together
The fun multiplies when we know our partner enjoys what we enjoy. The giggles and chuckles, challenges and fears, are all savored with smiles. Laughing together works wonders in surmounting the troubles we go through each day and develops a stronger belief in the long run.
7. The mighty little surprises
“Little things you do for me like nobody else make me feel good, little things you do for me, making me smile no one else could.” Cute love messages now and then, small surprises occasionally will make the relationship stronger.
8. Being friends for life
In friendship lies the beauty of our relationship. Being friends with my partner means I never have to hesitate to share anything with him.
9. Celebrating small achievements
Appreciating and applauding each other for our small achievements, brings in more happiness into our lives. Celebrating and partying gives us a high.
Loving each other unconditionally, giving him small, silly surprises, going on a long drive or listening to our favourite music, these minor joys gives us immense satisfaction while binding us together forever.
