Old Couples

When I see an old couple, even for that matter my parents and in-laws, if gives me this happy-warm feeling inside.

Two people, unknown to each other, together for so many years in spite of so many differences. Its just amazing.

They have and are, actually following their marriage vows.

They stand by each other in thick and thin
They share sorrows, happiness, smiles, tears
They help each other in every possible way
They have unconditionally loved each other for so many years
They have been an emotional pillar for each other
They have mentally, taken care of each other. Hugged each other when required
They have supported each other financially
They have grown together
They have fought, kissed and made up

Now, in the fast-food days, we need everything this instant. If something is wrong in the relationship, instead of understanding, adjusting, compromising and talking it out, we end up breaking the relationship.
That is exactly why divorces these days have become very common.

I want a marriage like the old couple. I want the time when Marriage was for keeps

"Its easy to break a marriage, it takes effort to keep it going strong"

In-Laws

Being done with the honeymoon phase, here enters reality.

After the frenzy of the ceremony, after bidding good bye to the relatives, after being the princess for a day and after the honeymoon actually starts the real life.

I have stayed in my parents house all my life, my parents house is a nice big apartment, on the main street in a very happening city. Now, I have shifted to a not so happening  city, to a very small apartment in a kind of boring location.

Win , being a sweetheart, took in all my whining, and gave me my time to settle down in here. He let me be me. He let me decorate the house as per my wishes and never ever said anything.
I am not pro-cook, I can cook to save my soul.
I have been feeding Win god-knows what, and that nice man has never ever complained even once.

This month we did our first road trip, and went to his parents house.
Trust me, all that thing about "mother-in-law-daughter-in-law never get along" is just a hype.
I have a super sweet mother-in-law who treats me like her daughter, I think i get more pampered in Win's parents house than I ever got in my house

A little effort from your side, being nice to him and his family, thinking that his parents are like your parents, treating his folks like yours, would make him happy.
And an happy husband = A happy marriage = A happy you
