Time flies when you’re having fun– Can’t believe it has been eleven years since I married the love of my life. Kapil and I have given eleven ( and counting ) glorious years to each other and today I feel proud to be his WIFE. I won’t say that it has been a smooth sail so far: there have been ups and downs, highs and lows, cold wars and hot arguments, but I wouldn’t change a single thing. We are two adults, with different personalities and traits- it did take us some time to know each other, to understand each and to accept each other, but it has been worth all the way. I am not a relationship expert, but from my experience I would like to share some of our relationship mantras that have helped us keep the sparks flying in our marriage.
CELEBRATE/ CHERISH LITTLE THINGS– life is not a bed of roses. Every relationship has some thorns and the success of it totally depends on how well you handle those thorns. In my opinion the best way to offset relationship difficulties is by celebrating what we have. Cherishing little moments, surprising each other, accepting situations, creating happy memories will make you stronger everyday. Be it a promotion, or a good day at work, or even a little something you buy: celebrate it. For instance this men’s watch came home and we decided to have a photo shoot party.
ACCEPT/RESPECT EACH OTHER– remember no one’s a perfectionist, so stop pointing out flaws and wrongs in your better half. Accept and love for who they are. Trying to bring a drastic change in your spouse is like a two-way traffic but on the same side of the road, where collision is guaranteed. There will be times of depression and frustration, but remember a woman is the anchor that holds the ship called family together, so take a breather and give space. If you are in a stew about something, express it to your partner. Remember he/she is your better half and needs all the respect and acknowledgement and has the right to be aware of things and situations.
SET GOALS – one thing we lacked in our relationship for a very long time was ‘couple/family goals’. We were a couple who understood each other, but there was something void. There were circumstances when we had heated arguments, days would go by without talking…reason: we weren’t on the same page! It is okay to have occasional fights, true it brings you closer, but the real joy is when you when you handle it like adults. Set goals- be it career-related, or pertaining to you as a couple or even as a family, I am telling ya: things will suddenly seem so sorted out. Set goals, communicate, comprehend, have a plan and work together to accomplish it. Buy this beautiful unique watch to keep you on track, it will always act as a reminder of your goals. Things did change for better for us when we set goals: the void definitely seems to be dissipating now.
TAKE TIME OFF : life does get mundane with the same schedule everyday. Waking up, getting ready, cooking breakfast, packing lunch, getting daughter ready, sending off hubby and then leaving for work… the same routine day in day out, can exhaust you both mentally and physically. An intermittent down time, spa day, kid-free date night, dinner with friends or even a trip becomes much deserved. Just as you feel the need for a break, remember your spouse feels the same way. So acknowledge this : take a break, do things differently, try new things both as an individual and as a family, plan something that breaks the rut and keeps you zealous.
