Marriages are made in heaven but lived on earth.....
I look at, life after marriage,now from far...as a parent looking at the child starting to live their lives with the new partner...
As I am looking I find, it is not easy for today's generation to live the first few years of married life as it was in our generation.
I also know, the reason why it seemed to be easy for our generation.
In our generation, I find, one of the partners almost always gave up the arguement or want,in favour of the other, that way avoiding most of the crisis situations.. .
Where as now, our children grow up with more freedom, more choices and an easier life, with easy money, or more luxuries...
The freedom that they get from the parents is taken for granted. But when they choose to get married and stay with the partner, the same kind of freedom cannot be expected.
Initially it is difficult for both to come to terms. Loving from far is very easy compared to two people living all the time together.
It is only after a few years that,both come to a common ground and meet half way...Till such time one need to constantly understand, respect and give each other the much needed space to still grow, in the new found proximity.
