Married Life


Marriages are made in heaven. The life partner always thinks of his or her joyful married life and peace of mind with satisfaction both mental and physical .Enjoyment is always to be done with mutual understanding. Bad habits and bad friends and bad and unnecessary  ego ruins the married life. It is very important to be faithful to each other.Every activity should be transparent and both should respect each other. When both have decided to live together for well being of both and any difference due to acting of other may be the cause for disturbance in the life. Hence one should be careful about all activities done or to be done. Doubts should be cleared on the spot. Anybody if does mistakes those should be rectified without any delay and accept it frankly. Both should ensure smooth consumption of life stream with self respect, respect to spouse and if necessary the guidance of respectable persons should be taken. Bad attractions should be avoided. Now a days even though well settled, the dispute is created either by the husband or by the wife for the reasons which can be sorted out and cleared. Both should love each other. Both should think of their children, there well being and education and ensure good habits of all.
No one should be possessive for his or her own ego or bad habits to break or continue to be disputed married life. No one should dominate each other. Otherwise the married life will be a gamble for loss of both and the children have to bear the consequences of the parent.
