Beauty of today's epi was Sita's realization that she is seeing a different Raghunandan in Ayodhya. Raghunandan who is loved by Ayodhya vasis like anything. Their swami, their father, brother you name it Ram is everything for Ayodhya vasis. The way they lined up to see him, the way Ram went to hug some of them showed his respect for his praja and their respect for Ram. For Ram his family came after his praja.
To be frank this is where better halves of many reformers suffer or has to take great personal sacrifice. Because their husbands are devoted to society, its betterment and their family come last to them sometimes. We see that not only in reformers but also in doctors and soldiers. They love their family, but the call of their duty is much more than that.
So whenever you are going to be a better half of a socially conscious man, a duty bound man understand that , the family more or less has to be managed by you. It is true even if you are going to be the better half of a man in power which includes politics, CEO etc... because one way or the other society demands them.
So it is worthwhile to ask yourself are you willing to take up that responsibility. Can you shoulder the home and run it efficiently. Can you do it without bickering or speaking ill about their father to kids. Can you understand that it is because of you, he will be able to manage it in social front.
Many women who marry men in power or doctors feels disillusioned after sometime as they dont get their husband's personal time. And they bicker, create problems even when their better half respects them.
And actually such bickering women affect men also indirectly, as they are always drawn into conflicts with their loyalty to duty and to wife.
If you see any great men like Mahatama Gandhi, they dont have a good personal life. Kasturba Gandhi had to take a lot of pain because of the freedom struggle he was involved in.
So think. Path to glory is no easy task. Power has more thorns than roses. Only if you are willing to step on those thorns start the journey.
