Munni so well said...👏👏
Marriage ...the word itself though said differently in different languages means becoming soul mates...& to become soul mates they say a lifetime is never sufficient !!!
To become soulmates one needs to go thru different stages of a relationship...let it be a love marriage or a arranged marriage...each relationship starts with both the partners being acquainted with each other...knowing each other as a person...understanding each other's likes, dislikes, choices...behaviour etc.eventually the couple become friends & share every thing with each other ...in all of this attraction plays a role of uniting the couple...& this attraction between them along with the other factors turns into mutual admiration for each other & finally into love... the couple or any one can never pinpoint & say this is the time that I have started to love my partner or spouse ...yes there are incidents which may help to say I think I have started to love my partner from this day onwards but the actual moment when that relationship has turned beyond friendship into love is what nobody can pinpoint !!!!
From this love starts care & concern for each other...trying to keep each other happy...trying to fulfill each others desires it could be anything...the identity moves from independents individuals to becoming one & each partner becomes important than anyone & anything else in life !!! Both are different individuals & difference of opinions will clash...but even after the fight being concerned & treating the other partner as a priority even without the other partner's mistake by cutting down one's own ego will show how much does the person value his or her partner !!!
In love then comes the act of love making where each other show how much they love one another by giving themselves to the other partner to be cherished & loved in life forever, overcoming life's turbulent challenges & still respecting each other because of the love they feel for each other ... let it be happiness or sadness, good times or bad times, in health or iin sickness for life & eternity !!!
Now each couple go thru all of this...lucky ones are those in which both the partners go thru it with their heart, mind & soul...some couples are where only one partner moves in with heart,mind & soul & somewhere both are not intrested...for some to recognise their partner & love one another is a lifetime process...for some it happens in few days & for some few hours !!!! However long it maybe it is a lifetime journey & the only people who can make it intresting with love filled in it are the the couple themselves !!!!
Gopi & Ahem are such a couple...Ahem is lucky that even when he did not want the marriage to work, Gopi did not give up on him...& now both of them are working on their marriage with the immense love they feel for each other...they are learning about each other, they care for each other ...they are each other friends sharing everything, from good to bad times...from sickness to health...from sadness to happiness...& both cannot think beyond one another's happiness...they are exploring each level of marriage of being acquainted...knowing one another...becoming frens etc together with each other !!!
One lost memory has disappointed Gopi but has not dimmed each other's hope at working on their relationship !!! And with love they will put this lost memory behind them & take up everything life gives them in their stride ...
In our day to day relationships...are we not asked to become comfortable with our partner before a couple shows each other how much they love one another with the act of love making...there are so many couples, who intiiate the act of love making on day 1 even without knowing each other & then after that they are lost on how to handle their relationship. ... for all they know is just a physical relationship...some wait till both are comfortable with each other & knowing each other to make love...this gives a foundation to their relationship beyond a physical relationship which over a period of time can be enjoyed only if there is love between couples !!!! Thats what Ahem & Gopi are doing...building a foundation for their relationship before showing each other physically how much they love one another !!!! And this foundation will help their love to grow so stronger that neither time nor age nor life's trials will dim it & in this process they become as soul mates !!!
Oh munni...sorry 😳 never realised how much I wrote ...😳😳 sorry on the length...not sure if I could put all points though !!!
