You Get What You Really Want!

I am a firm believer of the fact that you get what you actually believe in. There are a number of situations in our life, where we are tested on our determination. It becomes really easy to get hold of something, if you actually want it to be yours. This fact is most valuable when practiced in love marriages in India.

Wedding is known to be the biggest and most scared decisions, which we take in our life time. It is the bond, which we are supposed to carry all our life. So, a lot of conviction and thoughtfulness need to be instilled in the decision before making it a reality. In case of love marriages in India, parents in most of the cases differ from our choice. They have different concepts about Indian wedding and are not usually convinced about the decision of our marriage. They somehow manage to find problems even if the boy or girl belongs to same caste or religion. In case, the life partner of your choice is from different religion, then you must get ready to fight for your love.

In such cases, I think, this quote if practiced religiously can do wonders. If you really believe in the power of your love and think your choice for life partner is correct, then you can beat each and every claim made by your parents. Most of the couples, these days, end up breaking their love bond and end up doing Arranged marriages, because of their parents not accepting their choice. But, if you are firm in your decision and actually want the girl or boy as your life partner, then believe me no one can stop you. You need to make every possible effort to make it happen. Also, this is the power of true love, which inspires and motivates the person to go ahead with his decision.

Importance of Transparency in a Relation

Relationship

Every bond or relation we form in life is based on the wheels of trust, care, understanding and love. Speaking truth is a basic thing, which has been taught to us from childhood. From school days to college and now in office, we have learnt that being truthful and upfront about things, helps in clarifying things and keep us away from messy confusions. Lies, in whichever situation or at whatever place will land you in problems. Also, lie is a chain reaction, which leads to the production of more lies just to hide the initial ones. Therefore the best thing to keep you away from all this mud of fraudulence is to speak truth. Relations are very delicate and the most subtle of all is marriage, which demands transparency at every stage.

Marriage in India is based on various aspects, but if you lose trust in your partner then everything breaks up. You cannot live with a person, who lies about his whereabouts and always has something negative going in his mind. At times, you don’t feel like sharing things even with your life partner, but you must make sure that your hiding things should not result in confusions and rifts in the relation. Our life partner entrusts their whole life in us, therefore, it is our duty to value that trust and stand true on their expectations.

Sometimes manipulations are required, but those manipulations should be made just to make him/ her understand your view point. It should in no way hurt their sentiments or emotions. A marriage bond should be crystal clear. Your spouse should be able to announce with pride in public that you are his life partner and vice versa. There are flaws in each one of us, nobody is perfect, but if we do everything in our life with ultra care and faith, then each accomplishment would add to a step towards perfection.
