Right since our childhood,we are taught to be achievers.We are taught to be an engineer,a doctor,an administrative officer and so on.
What is never taught to us is - how to be a better husband and wife.
There is room to learn and improve in every sphere of life and in this relationship - all the more.
The person with whom we are supposed to lead the whole life comes from an entirely different background,mindset and interest.
If the lady luck smiles at us,we might get a life partner of same interest and mindset.But lady luck will smile at how many pairs !! She doesn’t in most of the cases.
What parents see in a boy is his stability,job,physique and look.What they can’t read is,which is most vital, is his mind,his inner self.
And in the case of girls,almost eveything is cross checked.First of all the financial status of her parents.Second comes her look,complexion and height etc.Thirdly her education.Fourthly her culinary
skill and so on.But in this case also her true nature and mind remain unchecked.
So when they get married ( especially in arranged marriage ),they keep very high hopes & expectations from each other.
And most of the time their dreams are smashed to smithereens in a very short span of time. ( many a time - in 24 hours ).
The disappointment percentage in husband - wife relationship is growing higher and higher as the days are going by.Especially in working couples.
Look here,mere knowing each other before marriage is not enough.
Even courting for 2 months or two years is not enough.
Proper counselling and training of say 2 or 3 months before marriage is must.I know it sounds absurd.
Still if we want a better and peaceful ( peace has flown out of the window in the case of most married couples ) married life,we will have to undergo some sort of genuine training.
May be some institutions will come forward in future and conduct such classes.As my organisation has taken initiative in this field and is conducting awareness seminars off and on.
