"No relationship is perfect, ever.
There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise,
to give something up in order to gain something greater...
The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences.
And that's the key.
It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece.
Love can make up for a lot."
~Sarah Dessen
This episode didn't have one defining moment...which I focus usually on...but it had a strong undertone of love in the backdrop in every scene where Raman and Ishita were there. This heart is so full because emotions like these, get to me. YHM writing has been at its best this week

To Ishita, marriage is a relationship which constitutes the whole package. Yes, she started this marriage as a cpmpromise to save Ruhi. But gradually she embraced everyone who is related to Ruhi as her own, as she had once told Raman when they discussed about Adi sitting on a bench outside a party that it was important for her to have that connection for Ruhi's sake. And while embracing those people, she fell in love with her husband when she started discovering the soft heart that lay in the deep recess of the rough, tough facade of Ravan Kumar.
And today she stood at a point where she knew him and his thinking more than probably he knew himself. So though he didn't say anything to her, she sensed his guilt about the trouble that had been brought into her life because of the baggage of his past relationships. But she didn't think them as his' life anymore...to her the problems are all theirs now. Secured in their mutual love for each other, she wants to face all those problems together with him.
Raman, who started this marriage as a deal to gain the custody of his daughter, treated it in the beginning as just a deal. So every interaction he had with her during that time , he let her know the limits of this 'deal', the boundaries of their marriage. But unbeknownst to him...his heart started recognizing the person that Ishita was and before long he started changing...for better. His heart, which lay dormant for 6 years, started thawing and he started embracing all those relationships he had run away from, thanks to Shagun's betrayal 6 years back. And during this process he fell irrevocably in love with his JKR, his Madrasan sherni, his wife. To him giving her every happiness in the world has now become a mission. But because of the unfortunate events of the recent times, he realized that unlike what her love brought in his life, marriage to him brought all the unnecessary hardships in her life. It was all related to the complexities of his broken marriage, his family issues. And with that realization, came the over powering guilt, that this marriage has given her only turmoil, humiliation ...and a lot of tears.
What he missed big-time was the fact that the biggest chunk of what this marriage ushered in her life, was him, his love...which made all these things just trivial to her.
So they stand again at a juxtaposition, with both of them deeply in love, where he wants to 'save' her from the problems of his past, but she wants to face them head on... with him by her side, through their present into the journey to their future...their life together, which now is entwined in a way where the boundary of his and hers has dissolved and theirs is the only truth.

Note :
- Karan Patel, his body language and facial expressions make dialogues secondary. I try not to fangirl on any actor in my main post...but his acting now-a-days makes it very hard to stay objective. But when we talk about a fictional show actors are a big part of the package. So we cannot not talk about the actors. And one of the biggest assets of YHM is its protagonists' acting and their chemistry.
