It had always been there, the discomfort between 2 people, even in old times. The man always GOt what he wanted in the initial stages and then the wife ruled, quiet often. then he wud drift off, she wud be interested in raising her children and then, all the responsibilities and all drifting completed, the couples grew older, together.. there is renewed intimacy/ both emotional and spiritual. The lack of being wanted is drastically lowers, since the children are all by themselves.. and into their own renewed relationships.. the cycle repeating itself\'.
Best is when some of us give and take knowing that the differences are bound to be there.. some of us make it into a big issue and make the life more miserable for everybody around, some of us go for divorces inspite of children (a new found freedom and a hellhole for children out of such broken homes) and some of us never get married and think wow! we were saved only to realise that they are gonna live very lonely lives all the way into their old ages until they die.
isn\'t it best to realise, we have fights, normal ones, even with our siblings when we are growing up.. the same atmosphere, the same parents, we cud be having fights with our cousins too, during that age of growth. why can\'t we expect severe differnces between a husband and wife !!? and respect those differences and co-exist to make it into a beautiful home with your own children? you be the first one to give but do not forget to take too. otherwise u become the giver, always ! its a beautiful relationship, that of a husband and wife\'s.. enjoy it, always.. until death does u apart. I mean it. more so in old age.. the companionship that we get, I understand is wonderful. all the best.
