Thank you Charu... it was a great episode... yes, Vish really is a father. As soon as he heard about the real issue between the couple, he knew that Aksh coming back will not solve it, but maybe make it worse... I also think Aksh should not come back for now...<br><br>Here are my viewpoints on this big blown issue:<br>1. Your number one priority is your spouse, your inlaws are related to you through him/her. If it doesn't effect your immediate family, don't interfere.<br>2. If it is a serious matter, bring it to the attention of your spouse, since they know their family dynamics way better than you (esp. if you are newly married).. then only with the approval of spouse you act as the spouse sees it fit.<br>3. Communication is the key.. Khamoshi ki bhasha is well and good on paper but in actuality, no matter the relationship, parents-children (adult or dependent), between spouses, between team mates, is essential. To talk & listen, understand the other point of view is crucial to keep the relationship healthy..<br>4. Resolving an issue within the relationship dynamics, and without undue outside influence is again key. Once it is opened up to outside there are various influences & viewpoints that enter the picture.<br>5. Relationship is not a debate team, it is not necessary for a couple to be on the same side of issue all the time, if you are in different sides of an issue, you both acknowledge it, and respect the other's viewpoint, but do not try to change it.<br>6. If you inadvertently hurt the other person, say & mean sorry, without any riders of but I thought.., but I did this because.. no excuses, own up & say it happened, let us move on.<br>7. An angry person will blow off steam, you should not take it to heart that the person really means it. Of course it hurts, but wait until the smoke has cleared before taking any decision.<br>8. This is esp. true for a woman. When you marry you are an equal partner, you have rights to the new household. This is true regardless of whether you work & bring money or are a housewife. It is your house and nobody has the right to say otherwise. Be firm on this issue. Unless your life is in danger, why should you be the one to leave the house?<br>9. This is esp. true of families where 10 people have 10 different opinions. You are the one to know what is best for you (applicable to both spouses), you act in the best solution for you & your happiness. Hear what others have to say, ask advice, but the final decision is yours. At certain point, you have to ask yourself where do you want to go from here, forward, backward or stuck at the same point.<br>10. If you decide to go forwards, then do it in full measure, no looking back, never throwing the fault back and start the process of building faith in each other, trust, protect each other and slowly the happiness will return. It is not easy nor quick, but a slow process of taking one day at a time, one step at a time, but always keeping in mind how fragile a relationship is and making sure that you safeguard it with your heart and soul.<br><br>This is a long email, but having gone through a similar situation, this is the life lesson both me & hubby have learned. <br>
