Jenny, I remember you had used this dictum for Khushi to test Arnav's feelings for her... Now I want to say, Lavanya should also adopt the same policy towards Arnav & behave amicably... Because it really doesn't do anyone good to sour a relationship... They both suffer IMHO...

Especially because Arnav has already divorced Lavanya in his mind...

Brilliant chapter...Arnav's proposal was so so nice...what he said is true...no matter in what language he proposes...there is no option for a no...she was already his and he was already hers...beautiful proposal ever...thanks for the PM

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

Jen, the above quote got me thinking a lot last night.

In times when one's marriage ship hits rough waters, what is it that makes it sails through?

Is it the responsibility of shared parenthood or society? No, it is not.

It is those little sweet memories one would have made out of love in their married lives. The wish to relive those memories and probably make more, the happier times they shared as a couple, the love that was nourished between them, these are the things that make marriages work when they hit a rock bottom.

Here in SF, have Arnav and Lavanya made enough memories that they want to relive them and cherish them? Unfortunately no. Probably the memories are there but they are very few in number to hold the marriage together.

Jigs, sorry to make reference to your other story here, but according to my understanding, in the story "memories",its probably the love filled moments they shared in the past 10 years, is the driving force today for them to make their marriage work again.

No need to apologize for referencing "Memories" my dear 🤗

As far as marriage goes, since it pertains to both stories... in my humble opinion and being married to the love of my life for the past 14 years is all dependent on how strong your love for the other is but it has to be reciprocated and both the husband and wife need to be in it 50/50. It is hard work to keep the love and relationship going, but communication is big factor to make it successful. Marriage requires work, and it's not always perfect... no matter how much you love each other. But isn't that in any relationship? It's never perfect is it...

In SF... Arnav and Lavanya's relationship, there wasn't love, at least I do not see it that way. He felt obligated to marry because of the baby. She might love him, but if it's not returned what is the point? In life you should love and want to be loved in return... don't force someone to love you, because that is not how it works...

In Memories...though I haven't started the SS, my vision for that story is to showcase, a married couple finding their way back to each other after drifting apart. Something that happens everyday, but it's their love that will help them get back to one another... though they might be feeling the void now...

This is my opinion, I hope I do not offend anyone...
