What are your putting in your MARRIAGE BOX – MIND IT!!!! Rajni Ishtyle

Yes, marriage is a meeting of two bodies, two minds and two souls.  Let’s put it simple, it’s getting to know each other and accepting each other with a little differences, fights and of course the not so good things about your spouse. The tickets are booked and the destination is set. At times, there is a short break and few bigger breaks. But the journey can still be made livable and enjoyable. It’s is your hands.

Marriage is more of giving than receiving. It’s about investing your time, efforts and lots of love to make it a beautiful journey.  It’s about being with your spouse even when the going gets tough. 

The marriage box is your secret treasure. Just like how you would want to protect and safeguard it from outsiders, try saving your marriage box. Arguments, minor fights are common, but as far as you don’t allow anyone to barge into that marriage box, things are fine.  A lot of things go into this marriage box, there is commitment, love, affection, sacrifice, intimacy and most of all FRIENDSHIP.

I give a lot of stress on the last word FRIENDSHIP. It is for life.  Friends fight but we can never be angry with a friend for life. As long as the couple treats each other like friends, laughs at each other’s jokes, faults and idiosyncrasies, things are still going to be fine.  This treasure box needs to be treasured, shielded and at times it may get old since you have not bothered to polish it.  What do you do, you spice it up with more love and affection. As times goes by, you become so possessive that you cannot live without it.  So make your marriage special.  Many married couples who have lived for years together may at times get bored with the lives they are leading. Remember that every relationship has its set of problems, the beauty lies in complementing each other even when life sucks.

Try keeping the marriage box full to the BRIM with a lot of togetherness, smiles, appreciation, care and most of all saying I LOVE YOU.  It truly works. What happens when the box is full?  It overflows and the fragrance of your togetherness and love spreads all around. People can feel it and believe me a couple who is in love need not express verbally that they are happy.  It automatically shows on their face.  Couples who have forgotten to appreciate and hold hands will get their lessons too.

P.S.: BEING TOGETHER WITH YOU IS BLISS AND IT TRULY IS. YOU MAKE MY DAY AND YOU MAKE MY NIGHT. YOU COMPLETE ME IN EVERY WAY.
