Marriage is a beautiful institution. The beauty of marriage is, it is made by two consenting adults, who get together to make and build a beautiful life and family together.

It is certainly a roller coaster with various highs and lows. But thats what makes it interesting, challenging and beautiful. Marriage gives a sense of belonging, stability, security and responsibility. It brings along with it care, love, togetherness, support, expectations, resolve, perseverance and a very important unflinching devotion.

But these days, we see a lot of marriages ending in divorce. One complaints of lack of compatibility, understanding, support, infidelity, oh the list is endless. Ofcourse we are under much greater stress these days. Our work, family and changing society demands a lot from us.

One of the basic necessity of any relationship is "communication". We need to communicate in order to make any relationship work. Communication needs to be healthy and should be a dialogue between both the partners.

Every couple/family has problems, but successful couples/families try and resolve the issues and find solutions rather than resorting to criticism. Misunderstandings occur due to lack of communication between both partners- Ineffective expression and ineffective listening and clarification. Misunderstanding occur when one partner doesnt communicate clearly what s/he thought and felt and the other partner assumes things without clarifying it.

Commom subjects of Conflict

In Laws, Religious differences, Cultural differences, Money and time, Parenting, Sex etc.

How to reslove these issues or differences?

Be clear and specific about your problem. Dont "hint it" but state it clearly and specifically. try and explore the underlying reasons and come to a mutually acceptable solution. A win win situatuin is always acceptable to both partners.

what is important is to understand is that the relationship is above the individual differences. The I, the ego, should be kept aside and the issue should be addressed with maturity and with the understanding of bringing peace and stability in the relationship and family. It is certainly not a competition between the couple, on who is right and who is wrong, who is smart and who is dumb. it is about together resolving issues, addressing problems and raising children. It is about standing by each other through thick and thin and being there for each other. It is about extending support, love and understanding and together building a beautiful family.

Some Fun One-Liners on marriage

Remember that marriage is the number one cause of divorce. Statistically 100% of all divorces started with marriage. I married Ms. Right, I just didn't know that her first name was ALWAYS.

We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

She has an electric blender, an electric toaster and an electric bread maker. When she said that she had too many gadgets but nowhere to sit down. I bought her an electric chair.

Mathematics of marriage
