A nutritionist definition of a
perfect diet is along the lines of 50% protein, 25% carbohydrates and 25%
fibers. Alas, there is no magic definition of a perfect marriage. We have lot
of people who are health conscious, wealth minded and although we do not focus exclusively
on marriage wellness, a considerable amount of energy is spent into molding our
married lives.
If you
would remind yourself of days when you learnt riding a bicycle, you would
probably fondly remember the childhood when you tried but could not balance a
bicycle. And suddenly, in matter of few hours or few days, magically, you could
balance the bicycle and ride and go around on the roads riding your new mate –
your lovely bicycle. Now, if you would remind yourself of days when you were
newly wed, you will have sweet sour memories of days when you were learning to
balance the marriage. And if you come to the present, you will realize you are still
trying your best to balance the marriage. Being in marriage is not like
learning a bicycle, probably it is an art that can never be claimed to have
been learnt.
A
perfect marriage can only be pursued, it can never be attained. Only the
knowledge of sadness can help you relish the moments of joy. As life has ups and
downs, sweetness and bitterness, toughness and happiness, so does a marriage
has crying and laughing, fighting and caring, hating and loving. The moments
where you can feel oneness of two souls are the ones worth your trying to
balance out your marriage.
